5 Good Things About Living Alone

1. You don't have to share

This might go against everything you learned in kindergarten, but some things are just not meant to be shared, at least in my opinion. These things include bathrooms, food, personal space etc. Maybe its just me.

2. You can do whatever you want whenever you want

One of the biggest problems I've had with any roommate is coordinating a laundry schedule. I do laundry once a week and I cannot even count the times when I am ready to laundry, but then I come out and someone else's clothes are in the dryer or washer. When you live alone you can do laundry in the middle of the day if you want or everyday for that matter.

3. Privacy is not an issue

This has also been a problem because sometimes a thin wooden door just isn't enough privacy if you catch my drift. When you live alone you do not have to worry about being quiet when doing adult things if you catch my drift.

4. You are the only one responsible for rent.

When you live alone you do not have to worry about other people being late on rent. You also do not have to worry about giving someone else your rent and then them blowing it. I would only trust a hand full of people with that much money.

5. No awkwardness

This isn't so much a problem as it is a personality conflict. If you are like me then you approach strangers with awkward silence and inappropriate humor. A new roommate can be extremely awkward especially if you do not know 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.
