Entering your junior year of college is a big milestone, you start to think to yourself, "where has the time gone?". Suddenly your life is flashing before your eyes and you feel like it's almost time to become an adult. Freshmen year was the new, exciting year. Sophomore year was not as new, kind of boring, also referred to as the "sophomore slump" and Junior year is so far the semester of worry. I have similar concerns every day and am constantly being asked the same questions, some of them are...

1. What am I doing with the rest of my life

It's okay that you wake up every morning questioning why you haven't transferred home yet, it's normal, you'll get through it.

2. Do I go to grad school, if so, where?

I didn't even graduate yet, how am I supposed to know what I'm doing after that!!

3. Am I going to graduate with enough credits...

Should I take summer or winter classes, how do I go about that.

4. Do I have enough on my resume?

Jobs, clubs, activities, sports, is that going to suffice?

5. Where can I get a job, internship?

There are so many jobs to choose from, where does one begin.

6. Do I even have time for fun, am I allowed to go out?

Sometimes when you've studied for so long, it's time to take a break and go on over to Dark Horse and have yourself a drink. It's good to let loose and have fun before it's to late.

7. I wish it was senior year, but I don't want to graduate!

The struggle between wanting to be done already, but not wanting to enter the big world and become an adult.

If you haven't thought about at least one of these, are you really even a junior?

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.
