Time is Just A Construct?

It's only been a few days over a month since winter break when my sister and I drove out of the driveway and waved goodbye to our parents for a while. We were smiling with really watery eyes they couldn't see through the window tint until we drove out of sight and I could bawl my eyes out while I told my sister, "You can't cry, sorry, you're driving". It seems it gets harder to leave home every time I come back, somehow. And it's that time of the semester where I feel a pull in my heart towards home.

Miss u, xoxo

The need to go home hasn't been quenched yet, sad to say. We're all too busy. One weekend there's an exam the next Monday that I really can't afford to not spend all day and night on the third floor of Marston studying for, and the next there's a retreat with an organization I just joined and it would look just terrible to miss it for a weekend trip home. This weekend is a no, next weekend is an open house at my house, which means my parents will be acting as realtors to sell their beautiful home to a beautiful new family, hopefully, and therefore I wouldn't be able to stay at home anyway. So for now, it's been phone calls and butt dials from my mom in the morning that I appreciate and texts that say "miss u, love you, hugs to all".

Home is Where the HEART is, ya heard

Yeah, I heard. And my heart is split between this crazy beautiful school and my crazy beautiful hometown filled with some of my crazy beautiful family members and my crazy handsome dog. So until spring break, about a month away, I'll be here, in one half of my heart, waiting until the other half gets a turn at the wheel. And until then, it'll be a lot of "miss u, xoxo's".

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

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!
