1. They like to party.

OK, I would honestly be dumb to say that I didn't know this before I went down there. Yes, there are people who care about school and grades there, but that doesn't mean that they can't have a good time while studying. Going to Cape was cool, but when we left it literally felt like the whole town was hungover on that Sunday morning.

2. They have a very strong Greek Life.

Greek Life seemed to dominate this town. You always see their sororities with the cutest bid day themes. Both the fraternities and the sororities seem to be extremely involved especially when it comes to stuff like Greek Week.

3. Burritoville is the GOAT.

Move over Qdoba and Chipotle. Seriously, these burritos blow every other burrito I've ever had out of the water. A buffalo chicken burrito? I bet your mouth just started watering, and that's not even the best one on the menu. If that doesn't sound amazing yet, they also have margs. You can pregame your pregame at this place while downing big burritos. That's the life.

4. Last Call is the place to be at night.

I know that there are other bars down there and I'm sure there are tons of house parties, but we walked around SEMO and asked people where we should go and every one of them said Last Call. They sure were right, too. The atmosphere totally fits what someone imagines their college experience to be like.

5. Oh, they also like to darty.

Darty, party. They do it all. Sure "every school has darties" but from what I hear about SEMO, they have darties literally whenever they feel like it. Oh, there's a raccoon stuck in the vent and classes are cancelled? Darty. Someone that you live with failed a test and is sad? Have a darty. You got a pet fish? Have a darty. You're bored? Darty. So many reasons to have a darty, and I look completely forward to visiting during this season.

5. It is a complete college town.

"Well, the older people hate us, because we don't really stop partying, but we kind of keep the town alive." Everywhere you go you see college students. Every single house looks like a college student should live in it. College things everywhere.

6. The campus is straight up confusing.

There. Are. So. Many. Hills. I thought that our car was going to flip going down to look at the Greek housing. It's also set up funny.

7. It literally does not matter what you wear to the bars.

I saw girls wearing sweatpants and girls wearing formal attire and people acted like it was completely normal. No judgment whatsoever. No one was talking about "how extra Sarah is because she is wearing heels to the bar." Everyone was just there to have a good time.

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.

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.
