If you did marching band in high school, you know what a big portion it was in your life. It definitely leaves an impact on you. Once a band geek, always a band geek.

If you can relate to some of these like myself, you were most definitely someone who lived for high school band!

1. When you hear songs on the radio, you decide if they would make good show music

Would this song do well on the field?

2. It annoys you when people walk out of step with one another

You start with your left foot!

3. You catch yourself roll-stepping when trying to balance something

It actually does work

4. While people focus more on football, you're eager to watch the band perform

"No, just here to see the band perform"

5. You know one more time does not mean one more time

It's a lie

6. You cringe when you see mistakes in shows (that no one else can detect)

Could you not hear how flat that was??

7. Your non-band friends don't understand when you talk about marching band techniques

What does 8 to 5 mean??

8. Watching your old shows brings back so many memories

How did it fly by so fast?

9. You catch yourself walking in time with music

Walking? More like marching

10. Your heart will always be passionate about music

That will never change

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!
