The college process is incredibly stressful and tedious. When it's all finally over though, it all seems to work out and the college everyone ends up going to just seems like it was meant to be. If you are already in college, though, you are one of the lucky ones who have begun to do these things:

1. Forgetting homework is no big deal now.

2. You suddenly lose all motivation to do any more than the bare minimum.

3. You frequently make excuses for yourself by saying, "I'm in college, who cares?"

4. You try to weasel out of your responsibilities by trying to get your parents to do something for by reminding them that "I got into college!"

5. You finally come clean to your parents about some of the things you never actually did or studied for, that happened to work out.

6. You order every piece of apparel and accessory off of your accepted college's website.

7. And then you flaunt your new look everywhere you go.

8. You struggle to reign it in at times, because you know that other people are still in the thick of the college process.

9. But sometimes, you can't help but just jam out to the fight song when you are home alone.

10. You join the accepted students Facebook group, and you are instantly overwhelmed by all of the posts and friend requests.

11. You begin stressing out about rooming and classes, even though that's so far in the future.

12. When post your Facebook status of "X College Class of 2021" you feel like a celebrity.

13. You think back at the time before you knew where you were going as the dark days.

14. When you see someone wearing your college's apparel you get so excited and ask them if they are going there.

15. When people ask why you picked this college you could spend hours going over everything that made you fall in love.

16. Even though it's been a few weeks, you still are sometimes in awe of how lucky and excited you are for this opportunity.

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.
