It's the most wonderful time of the year!

1. Waking up early and opening presents, even though I'm a grown adult.

2. Getting all dressed up for our family party.

3. Eating an unhealthy portion of a delicious dinner.

4. And then still snacking on junk the rest of the night, and not being judged for it.

5. Seeing what wrapping paper everyone else chose for their presents.

6. Listening to Christmas music for the last time of the year.

7. Hearing the gifts everyone else received.

8. Watching the kids in our family light up when they open their gifts.

9. Two words: stocking stuffers. They're absolutely the best.

10. Taking pictures in front of the Christmas tree.

11. Sending and receiving 'Merry Christmas' text messages.

12. Finally being able to tell my husband all the funny gifts I thought about getting him, but didn't.

13. Watching one last Christmas movie by the tree before bed.

14. Laying out and looking at all the gifts I received.

15. Forcing my dog to wear his ugly Christmas sweater for our annual family photo.

16. Watching people's reactions as they open the gifts I picked out for them.

17. Spending the day with my favorite people.

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.

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.
