1. Small Class Sizes

Does this even need a description? Just ask yourself, if you had to choose between a class size of 400 students between four students which would you choose? I don't know about all of you, but the best bet would be that most of you would choose the classroom with the least amount of students. Why? Well, just ask yourself this "to learn or not to learn?" Well, since school stopped being free a long time ago, the answer to that would be learn.


2. Names Do Exist

I'm sure most if not all have heard someone say that their professor was just well, a professor. Nothing wrong with that, but at a small college the bonds of friendship usually form among students and faculty. As odd as it sounds, but our names exist here, and students stop being just an ID number.



3. Big Campus vs Small Student Body

Imagine this, you're at a huge campus with a student body population of lets say 600 what can you do? The answer, everything. When you're fortunate to have a big campus, and not a big number of students the possibilities to explore are endless. What's the biggest pro? Actually being able to have that secret hiding place.


4. Networking

Networking is probably a given, but it is a really awesome pro. Sometimes, getting started with your career needs a little boost from a professional already in that scene. What can a small college provide? Networking opportunities. Most if not all alumnis are always eager to help students because they know how the system works. Even if you're generations apart, let me just say you have a lot of connections already because of the shared college.


5. Real Community

Let's be honest, having a real sense of community at your school is a huge thing. What I do know, is that it is always found in a small college. So, why not?

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

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.
