He'll say he's just friends with like a trillion girls and they're just at the library studying...

Then he'll hook up with her and somehow make you feel bad for him.

He'll act like he's extremely attentive and that he's hearing everything you're saying and taking it at its face value, but then he'll use it all against you and find a way to twist every word you ever said.

He'll say he's clean and he's always been clean, then somewhere down the line, he'll cry afterwards telling you he lied and somehow again he makes you feel bad for him.


Giphy


He'll act like he's trying to better himself and act like he's found it in his heart to be the compassionate loving person you've known him to be at his best.

Then he'll get stressed or bored and show you he's the same immature child he was before.

Giphy


He'll act like he's figured himself out and he's trying to find a way to appreciate himself, but he'll leave the burden to you to constantly support him and build him up.

Giphy


He'll tell you that the two of you have differences, but a great love like this will overcome.

Then he'll say he's thought about it more and it's just impossible...

He'll say that you're his world and that nothing can come between you, but the second he talks to his mother whatever she says is more important than how he feels.

He'll say he's strong enough to deal with the pressure, then he'll crumble under it like the weak man you've known him to be at his worst.


Giphy


He was always the nice guy. Everyone said he was so sweet, but they didn't know how his changes of heart and his dishonesty would come to tear you apart inside. He'll say he's going to be more honest and he knows how to keep from hurting you this time, that his love is enough.

But over time it will fade. Every promise, every word. He'll slowly become more distant, but continue to tell you everything is fine. He'll know exactly what he's doing cause that's what the nice guys do. They lie. They may be "nice" but last I checked nice just means coward who doesn't know how to love himself let alone anyone else.

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!
