The Fourth of July is a party holiday, plain and simple.
The difference between singing along to the words "proud to be an American" and actually meaning them is major. Appreciating our freedom and country should be continuously held in high esteem, not only on days where the hotdogs and sparklers remind you to do so.
Something about sitting under exploding fireworks seems to awaken the inner patriot in most of us, though this patriotism should be just as fierce every single day of the year.
Here are 10 Chandler moments that made us all see the "Chan Chan Man" within all of us.
I mean, besides this obvious one:
But, hey, at least he owns up to it!
He tried really hard.
Sure, he may be awkward and desperate for love, but if you're the Chandler of the group, your flaws just make you even more adorable!
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?
I enjoy my job don't get me wrong... but sometimes all I have to say is IT GETS OLD!
For example, you are never stopped by people in the mall trying to sell you stuff, and it's secretly fun to hear that someone was a little intimidated by you when you first met.
That being said, the downside is that people always think you hate them and social events are tragic because you always looked pissed off or bored. In the end, no matter how extreme your RBF is, you probably encounter/have encountered a handful of these 11 situations.
But the whole time you talked to them you tried really hard to seem happy and friendly and genuinely thought you pulled it off.
And you can't help but roll your eyes, which probably doesn't help your case.
Not like you haven't heard that before. It's expected and doesn't even come as a surprise anymore.
You smiling 24/7 is way worse than your mean face. Trust me.
You gave up on trying to convince everyone that it's just your face!
Whoops. Better go send them an apology text.
Probably because your face doesn't really signal that you're joking, but you've learned to make it clear you're just kidding by laughing obnoxiously.
And you think, "maybe that's why people don't talk to me..."
It's a cold world out there for people with RBF.
*shudders*
"I can't repeat it enough that it is just my face."
She could be, but who doesn’t love a self-driven woman with an ambitious mindset to destroy a man, but I digress.
So funny you asked! Actually, my hair is dirty blonde but platinum blonde seems more fitting for me.
Yes, when I’m not dying my hair I’ll take the occasional trip to the library …
Hmmm, think what you want, but black more or less suits me since it matches my soul.
*Watches football*
“What inning is this?!”
LOL, just kidding; I’m very into sports and I know the difference between them.
If you count having a resting bitch face and being completely unapproachable as I hide behind my sunglasses "bubbly," then yes, I have a bubbly personality.
Maybe it would if I was vacationing in Nantucket for the summer; however, I probably own more workout apparel than anything.
*Rolls eyes so far that they get stuck in the back if your head*
Actually, I played soccer and ran track.
I didn’t know geographic locations were defined by hair color! News to me …
Wrong — you picked the wrong stereotype to assume. I’m a regular at Starbucks thank you very much.
Probably.
And if I do…?
No, it’s mine! I work hard for the money.
Maybe if they came to the salon with me to dye their hair they would be.
I’m surprised about you, too! I thought you would be a lot smarter.
Here are 17 moments that dukes experience in a year at JMU as told by Bob's Burgers:
Sadly, this isn't just a freshman thing.
Arguably the best part of freshman year.
"I can handle 20 credits, right?"
JMU pride runs deep.
Shout out to Snowmaggedon 2016.
It really is that bad.
A year at JMU is a wild ride. You'll meet so many new people and experience so many new things. It can and most likely will be overwhelming at first. You want to see and do everything as soon as you get there. Remember, you have all year (four of them in fact) to experience all of the amazing things at JMU. Seize the year and make it special. Find your place, your people, and your passions. Everything will come together when you learn how to utilize all that JMU has to offer and make it a second home.
Remember, your college experience is unique. But there will be many moments in your career at JMU that you'll get to experience with everyone around you . Embrace those shared moments and all they have to offer. Don't overlook the little moments and be adventurous. Find an adventure in the little things. Take pictures and write things down (but don't forget to also live in the moment). When things look down, remember that they'll always come back up. Step outside of your comfort zone. Meet new people, try new things, and be grateful that you go to the very best school.
Go Dukes!
