There's no question that staying home and crafting is almost every basic girl's dream. All those DIY crafts and fun weekend projects we see on Pinterest feed our souls and help us channel our inner Jessica Day!

So, what is my favorite craft you may ask? Well, anything that involves my Cricut!

What's a Cricut? You know...those super cool die cut machines you see in Michael's that are N E V E R on sale. Yeah, those ones! The ones with all the exciting vinyl and fabrics...those ones!

Sure, a Cricut is an investment, but it's an investment you will not regret.

So, why is this Cricut so great?

1. Can you say monogramming?

I'm not sure if you're as monogram obsessed as I am, but if you are...the Cricut is your new bestie.

2. Need a last minute gift?

Seriously, head to the Dollar Store, buy a stemless wine glass, throw on a cute quote, and call it a damn day!

3. Say hello to personalized t-shirts

This is my personal (no pun intended) perk! We have annual passes to Disney and you better believe we have custom shirts for every trip.

4. Really, say hello to personalized anything

Water bottle, phone cases, makeup bags, umbrellas...the list goes on and on.

5. Become an Etsy shop

For something you can do after work or on the weekends, it's a great way to earn some extra money...that you'll probably just buy more vinyl with.

6. Make cool stuff, sell it & donate that money

Find your cause and make things to give back. I've recently started making dog bandannas and donating what I earn from them to local dog rescues!

7. Need a wedding gift?

8. Party decorations

This is perfect for events of all kinds! Birthday parties for children and adults - the options are truly endless.

9. Getting married?

If you find yourself to be a crafty fiance, the Cricut might be just what you need! We've all seen those cute signs on Etsy; well, now you can make it and save some money.

10. Do you just want to craft?

I'm the Short Friend. I've been the Short Friend since about the seventh grade. I'm the one who stands in the front of the photos, gets made fun of for their height, and still shops in the kids department.

This article is not for the Almost Short Friends, i.e. the 5'3" and 5'4" Friends. No no, this is for the Actually Short Friends, i.e. the Barely Scraping 5'1" and shorter Short Friends.

11 Things All Call Center Workers Can Empathize With Better Than Anyone

Youtube

This semester I started my journey as a member of my University's Alumni Outreach Team. This means a lot of things, but primarily it means that I get to make phone calls to parents and alumni two nights a week to update contact information, collect things like business cards and volunteer hours, and even ask for money.

We get it — we're frustrated with you, too.

1. When they go out of their way to help you.

2. When they are cleaning up a section of the store.

3. When they deal with your children being heathens.

4. When they listen intently to your coupon problems.

5. When they ask you about opening a credit card or rewards card.

6. When you have to wait to get an item number or to talk to a manager.

It's not always fun being fun-sized!

1. Not wearing makeup is like stepping in a time machine

2. "Wow, how tall are you?!"

3. You don't realize how much you're craning your neck until you talk to someone as short as you.

4. Hugging your friends is just asking for a face full of boob for you and makeup on their shirt for them. Awkward.

5. You face retail discrimination

Details the INFJ may not have wanted to let you know about.

1. Their moral compass is the strongest bone in their bodies

2. They like getting a mild cold

3. They can only make one new friend at a time

4. They can only be leaders if they're experts on the topic

5. You know what too nice means: Fake

6. Their creativity comes out in strange bouts

7. They like heavily emotional stories

8. They experience a different kind of tired

9. Structure and routine is the name of the game

10. They are sensitive little creatures

11. They love to love

12. Yup, they’re the mom of the friend group

It's a daily struggle to make it on time, but everyone has those days where they just...don't.

1. "Oh, crap..."

2. "Is it worth it?"

3. "Why is this room so cold?"

4. "Does this professor grade attendance?"

5. "Can I wear my pajamas to class?"

6. "Do I have time to brush my teeth?"

6. "Shoot, I didn't finish my homework..."

7. "What's the weather supposed to be today?"

8. "Will the bus be on time?"

9. "How can I enter the room in the least obtrusive way possible?"

10. "WHY didn't anyone leave a seat on the end in case someone came late?!"

11. "Does this professor hate me now?"

12. "I'll be early next class..."

Getting hung up on is my super power.

1. The first call is the hardest

2. Getting hung up on before you say something

3. People don't live forever

4. It's exhausting

5. Getting hung up on the second you say where you're calling from

6. People will say anything to get you off the phone

7. Voicemails are weird

8. No one cleans out their mailbox

9. Pronouncing names correctly can be hard
