Hunger

Stay hungry in order to improve.

This hunger should come from deep inside you, resonating in your bones. Driving you to get more, accomplishing more is what this hunger is meant to do. If you are full, content with yourself, then you will never move. Constantly changing — not necessarily progressing — is the world around us, and if we are full we will just “go with the flow.” Find that energy inside of you to push yourself forward; continue to look for more “food.” Your appetite should never be satisfied because, while you try your best, you are never actually at your best. Your best can always be better so why would settle for anything less? Expect more from yourself than you expect from anyone else because if there is anything that life can teach you it is that you get more resistance from others than you do for yourself.

You should grow to enjoy feeling unsatisfied in your place in life, but also enjoying it and being proud. However, enjoy being unsatisfied so you can constantly improve yourself positively rather than regressing from folding underneath the pressure and stress. A person cannot grow if they do not move throughout the world and throughout themselves, internally. In order to grow, you also have to continue to learn yourself; you are always changing the world, adapting to the society around you so you must learn to be aware of these internal changes. The hunger should not only be applied to your place in the world but also to your place inside your mind. Sometimes your subconscious thoughts can push out your conscious ones, taking over your perceptions. Fight this filler because what your mind needs is to be reinforced by your legitimate reality.

Always remain hungry so you can search for better food. Find within yourself the motivation to improve. It should an internal drive which forces you to move on to better places in life and within your mind. Never remain full for too long because you may just be settling, but even the best can get better so why can’t you?

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.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

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!
