Appreciate every annoying tear of that child,
many carried for 9 months with no positive result.

Appreciate your mother's effort,
She doesn't deserve to suffer for you again after that painful day she visited heaven to bring you to this world.

Appreciate those who used and prosecuted you,
Spending your time to please them taught you to be smart and time wise.

Appreciate those who condemned, Rejected, and discriminated you,
Although, they tore you apart from within, they also taught you to heal.

Appreciate those who mocked you for your being, talents and efforts,
They taught you sense of humor.

Appreciate that person that broke your heart,
They made you cry, made you strong and helped you to understand everything is a risk.

Appreciate those who abused you, and robbed you of your pride,
As a result, you now know anger, law, forgiveness, justice and revenge.

Appreciate that person who listens to you, defends, shows you love and stands by you.
They've been hurt too, probably worse than you have, but they offer their shoulder still.

Appreciate those childhood memories,
Many spent theirs struggling for themselves, hiding and escaping from assaults and never knew what it felt like to be a child.

Appreciate that partner who swears to love you alone daytime and loves 10 others at night,
Now you know when it comes to matters of the heart, words are not as powerful as actions.

Appreciate that dad who yells and teaches you responsibility everyday,
Some dads don't even want to be a part of their child's life.

Appreciate your siblings,
They are like your eyes, if you believe you are better-of without them, you might as well just pluck your eyes out.

Appreciate "the wolves in sheep clothing"
They asking for your all and giving you nothing in return taught you not all, can be trusted.

Appreciate those who appear to be who they really are,
They showed you friendship and trust.

Appreciate your past,
it thought you regrets, mistakes, pain, joy, sorrow...it made you...who you are.

But most importantly...

Appreciate your life now,

Believe it or not,
it makes up who you will be,
it determines your Tomorrow.

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!
