An Ode To Merlot

You've got a friend in Merlot.

An Ode To Merlot
Bubbly Professor

I wake up on Sunday morning after a night of drinking far to much of you,

But that can't keep me away from your decedent taste,

I go about my day, thinking about you,

What shall I have for dinner that will finely compliment you?


Throughout the day I pray that I will be home soon,

So I can sit on my couch, watch Netflix, and drink Merlot,

There is no one else besides you,

I've cheated before on the occasional rosé,

But on a college budget, well you know, sometimes I cant help it,

Why must you be so amazing, dear Merlot?


Oh how I dread a night where I don’t have a glass,

Poured to the brim,

And when I don’t sit there and binge watch OITNB,

Its hard to have my day feel complete.


Your taste always wants me longing for more,

But in this day-and-age it's frowned upon if you drink a full bottle at once,

I know you would never judge me but it's not you, it's me,

I've done it once and I just cant do it again.


But without further a'do, my ode to you could be endless,

I'll do my best to stay faithful,

You are my one and only, dear friend,

I will see you again tomorrow after 5 p.m.,

Because, once again, it's most definitely frowned upon to bring merlot to the office.

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!
