16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

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.


1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

She could be, but who doesn’t love a self-driven woman with an ambitious mindset to destroy a man, but I digress.

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

So funny you asked! Actually, my hair is dirty blonde but platinum blonde seems more fitting for me.

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

Yes, when I’m not dying my hair I’ll take the occasional trip to the library …

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

Hmmm, think what you want, but black more or less suits me since it matches my soul.

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

*Watches football*

“What inning is this?!”

LOL, just kidding; I’m very into sports and I know the difference between them.

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

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.

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

Maybe it would if I was vacationing in Nantucket for the summer; however, I probably own more workout apparel than anything.

8. "What sorority are you in?"

*Rolls eyes so far that they get stuck in the back if your head*

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

Actually, I played soccer and ran track.

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

I didn’t know geographic locations were defined by hair color! News to me …

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

Wrong — you picked the wrong stereotype to assume. I’m a regular at Starbucks thank you very much.

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

Probably.

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

And if I do…?

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

No, it’s mine! I work hard for the money.

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

Maybe if they came to the salon with me to dye their hair they would be.

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."

I’m surprised about you, too! I thought you would be a lot smarter.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
