Taylor Swift can put all of our feelings into words.


You start off the end of the semester strong.

You are determined to study every day so that you can get A's on all of your finals. When your friends ask you to go out on Friday night, you tell them no because you're too busy studying for upcoming exams.



Then you realize that you are in over your head, and you go crazy from that all-nighter that you pulled the night before.

You just can't study anymore. So, you decide to take a little nap. Since when has a nap ever hurt anyone?


You wake up from your nap and you're definitely feeling that all-nighter in full force.

You think that you're actually going insane.


Then you go to class the next morning and realize that you aren't the only one who can't stand to study for one second longer.

This means that the curve will definitely be in your favor.


So, you do a little happy dance in your head.


Then your professor tells you that there will not be a curve on the final exam.


Your heart actually breaks.


You're definitely going to need to eat all of that care package that your mom sent for finals week.

We're not judging, there is no shame. When you're finished, it's also OK to go to the grocery store and buy all of the chocolate.


OK, now it's back to studying. You can do this.


It's OK because you know that all of this studying will pay off.

Soon, you'll be stress-free and binge-watching your favorite show on Netflix.


Did I mention that you'll get to sleep in?

You'll finally get to make up on all those missed hours of sleep from late-night study sessions.



Right now, it's time to wake up for your 8:00 a.m. exam.

Who knew that the sun wasn't even out at 6:00 a.m.? It's incredible to think that you're expected to be out of bed at this hour of the day.


You are determined to walk into that room like you own it and get a good grade.

Keep your eyes on the prize.


While you're taking the test, you have no idea of what any of the answers are.

You didn't study for this. This was not planned. You're pretty sure that the professor hasn't mentioned half of these words once during this whole semester.


You stay calm because you can't let anybody see you sweat.

You're cool, calm, and collected. Take deep breaths. When you get home, you can take a nap and forget that any of this happened until your professor posts grades.


You finally finish the test.

Even though you don't feel so confident about it, you're more than glad that it's over. Even if you didn't do so hot, all you have to do is shake it off.


Then you have to face that dreaded moment.

Your professor posted grades and you hold your breath, as it's time to check your fate.


You didn't do so bad.

Finally, it's over and you survived finals week once again. After all, you are pretty awesome.


Until next time, finals week.

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.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
