I'm sure many people are feeling how I am right now. Annoyed. Sad. Angry. Many other emotions that have all just come together to form disbelief. One of my close friends from high school is a senior this year, she has more than enough reason to be sad and upset her senior year being possibly ruined. She talked to me about how Prom was probably going to get cancelled and her second semester of senior year was just over. I envy her for having her senior year be taken in this way, because if this had happened to me last year I would have been fine. I mean don't get me wrong I would be pissed off, but at least all my friends would be thirty minuets or less away. All my classes as a second semester senior were so easy and I didn't have the motivation to go to school anyways at this point last year.

I have always lived in the same town, I always wanted to leave. But once I had moved in to my first dorm I was set to not have to move more than ten minuets away from campus. First semester I struggled a lot with making friends and finding out how to "do college" I don't think anyone has that answer though. My roommate and I did not get a long and I was constantly uncomfortable in my room. A week before thanksgiving I got approved to move across the street. It was best thing that could have happened, I was put into a suite with five really amazing girls. It took some time for me to really build a connection with them but once second semester rolled around we were getting along like we had been friends for ever.

My suite-mates are some of my closest friends that I have made in college. There are many reasons I am sad to not be living with them anymore but one of the major reasons is the support that we all gave each other in the room. If someone was having a bad day we would listen to each others rants, if one of us was at a tinder boys house we would wait up for the other to come home, when we all went out together we would make sure each person got to their desired location safely. I have heard people say "I'm going to miss the frat party's" or "How and I supposed to flirt with boys with online classes" and trust me I am saying the same thing. But the people I have gotten to live with for the past almost four months are going to be what I miss the most from having to move off campus. I am not sure what I am going to with all of them being around three hours away.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
