To The Class Of 2018

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

For the last four years, we've spent nearly all of our days together in the same old place, eagerly waiting in line to graduate. Finally, our year has come. Outside of those red and black doors, adulthood awaits.

In a few short months, we will all walk across that stage and step out into the real world. It's scary to think about how close it actually is, all of the stress, testing, homework, and all-nighters will finally pay off.

When we all take a look back at high school, hopefully, we will think of all the good times we've shared as opposed to the bad.

It's true when they say there's a last time for everything; whether it be our last prom, football game, or homecoming- it's all becoming very surreal.

Soon, we will all part ways and go in every direction. We will probably see each other seldom after this. It's crazy to even think that we won't see most of the people we've literally grown up with.

Don't count the days, make the days count.

We spend so much time wanting to leave, that we forget to stop and appreciate. We don't realize these truly are some of the best times of our lives.

So, as our year draws to an end, take a second to cherish the people around you.

High School can be either the best ride or the worst, but it's definitely what you make of it. It's always best to have no regrets, especially when the time comes for us to leave.

So thank you, LCHS for giving us the best of friends, teachers, and the best of times.
I hope everyone in our class succeeds with whatever comes next.

"All in, LC"

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.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
