In This Article:

As someone who requires a lot of sleep, I often find myself dozing off at times where I probably shouldn't be. And, if you're anything like me, you'll relate to these 10 things!!

1. When the professor has a monotone voice

We all know that teacher that could be talking about the most interesting thing in the world, but their voice... Just. So. Flat.

2. When you're trying to finish a movie late at night

The internal battle of seeing the ending or getting some shut eye is REAL.

3. Staying up late texting someone 

No matter how badly you want to talk to them, sometimes your body just can't take it anymore.

4. Doing boring work/ work you don't understand

Calculus homework < sleeping. Always.

5. When you see someone else yawn

Yawning is most DEFINITELY contagious and once I see someone yawn I can't help but feel sleepy too. (Be honest, didn't this make you yawn?)

6. After not eating enough during the day

If your body doesn't get the fuel it needs, it just decides to sleep instead!

7. Or not drinking enough water

Dehydration = exhaustion. No questions about it.

8. When you finally get out of bed after snoozing your alarm

The hardest urge to fight is to go back to bed or not to go back to bed.

9. A few hours after drinking a cup of coffee

Because everything that goes up must come down, including the energy that you get from caffeine.

10. Any day where you got less than 8 hours the night before 

Because sleep is important, you can't live without 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!

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.
