I grew up in Marlboro New Jersey, a small town in central Jersey. I was very much a Jersey girl. However, coming home over breaks, people have commented on how my mannerisms have changed since I left. I mean, I’ve transformed into a wildcat.

1. Confessions by Saint Augustine? I have it memorized

We all had to read it, but not just read it. We went over that book for weeks, the intent of every single paragraph indent was understood.

2. All WRIGHT all WRIGHT

We got to a Catholic school, which teaches the Augustinian principles of Caritas, Unitas, Veritas. We take the worship of God very seriously, almost as seriously as our worship of Jay Wright. Every basketball game and in any dorm there is a picture of Jay Wright somewhere there. The name comes out of your mouth at least once a day.

3. Pledge Rides, Yeah I have the number

Villanofun? I think not. You wanna go to Beta or Phi Sig? I mean Pi Kapp is having something too, I can text and see if I can get a ride.

Oh, I got a text back, we have a 10:00 ride.

Every weekend restart and repeat.

4. Cova? Spit? Conn?

Hands down Spit is the best dining hall on campus, but nothing beats a Cova burrito bowl. But, Conn chicken fingers just do not compare. As long as we are not eating at Pit, everything will be okay.

5. FOR THE BLUE AND THE WHITE WE WILL FIGHT

Every single day, Villanova’s campus is flooded with the blue and the white (and vineyard vines). We represent our school and we do it proudly. Every basketball game is crowded with people dressed from head to toe in the blue and white.

6. Do you like this Vineyard Vines shirt better or this Patagonia?

Walking around campus, those are about the only shirts you see. Honestly, I don’t know why they don’t sponsor Villanova.

7. It is three weeks into the semester, how did I run out of points?

Whether it is sparket, holy grounds,or second story, points go by incredibly fast. But, there are no regrets on holy grounds iced coffee.

8. Villa(hoe)vas/ Villa(bro)vas

Check every student’s social media, it will be a caption at least twice.

9. 4th-floor Tolentine? I’d rather cut off my finger

Climbing up the stairs of Tolentine leaves you with no breathe and lingering soreness in your quads. You either take a minute outside the classroom to catch your breath or you walk into class about to pass out from lack of oxygen.

10. Final Four? Eh, no big deal

We live, eat, and breathe basketball. It is a school of hard-core fans for our basketball team. Win or lose we are wildcats. V for Villanova and V for Victory.

We bleed blue and white. Let's go Cats!

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

1410

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!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Yify

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.

No, I can't help you.

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!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

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

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

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

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

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

8. "What sorority are you in?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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