21 Life Lessons By 21

As my 21st birthday approaches, I have taken the time to ponder life lessons I have learned in 21 years. The following is a list of 21 life lessons.

1. The grass always seems greener on the other side, but that doesn't mean it is.

2. It is worth it to binge watch that series until three a.m., especially when you are on the series finale.


3. Cake is a breakfast food.

4. So is ice cream.

5. People can be unbelievably cruel.

6. But, they can also be incredibly kind.

7. There's nothing better than a rainy day inside with a book and a hot cup of coffee or tea.

8. Harry Potter is a classic.

9. Cats are the best pets (but dogs are good too!).

10. Starbucks coffee is a worthy investment, especially when it's pumpkin spice season!

11. You can never have too many books.

12. God is always with you, even when it doesn't seem like it.

13.There's a quote from Winnie the Pooh for every occasion.

14. You are never too old for Disney.

15. Puddles are meant to be jumped in.

16. Snowflakes are meant to be caught on your tongue.

17. High School will become just another memory.

18. WiFi is a want, not a need (even though it may feel like a need!).

19. Writing is a worthy pastime.

20. It is always a good time to read a book.

21. Friendships come and go, but they also form when you least expect them.

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.
