If you are like me, you cling to temporary people because you don’t like change. Don’t cling to these people who fail to see your worth only because you don’t want them to leave.

I struggle with this on the daily for real. I am constantly giving disrespectful people a pass because I am “too nice” or maybe I just fail to see my worth, either way it’s not good for our souls.

Please don’t let these people disappear for days/weeks at a time and come back like nothing happened. Please understand that you don’t need any one and that you are fine on your own.

You don’t have to settle for people who don’t text you back or only text you when they need something. Please understand your worth and understand that these people are failing to see that. You don’t have to text them back right away when they decide to come back because you are “nice”, that is not being nice to yourself.

Please don’t make excuses for these people like I have because it will drain you always trying to figure out why they are going ghost or being dry. You need to understand that no one is “too busy” to send a 5 second text.

So if you are like me and struggle with being “too nice” to people aren’t even giving you the time of the day, please read this over and over. Please understand that being alone is way better than wondering why you aren’t “good enough” for someone to text back. Remember your worth and understand that you are always good enough.

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!
