Do you ever crave a weekend getaway? Are you just waiting with bated breath to escape from all your responsibilities?

Well, the perfect place to do so is... at home!

As a college student with loads of commitments, tests and who knows what else it can tend to overwhelm us making us want to just get away for a few days at a time.

Home doesn't sound like the most ideal vacation spot at times, but with a tight college budget, it is sometimes the next best option. Not only that, but home holds a very special place in many peoples hearts.

Think about it this way: In reality, home is much more than those few silly restrictions you have while you are around your family and especially your parents. Home is unconditional love, an endless amount of food, someone to do your laundry and most importantly, is your norm before starting your four years of college.

Before knowing what it was like to live on your own or even support yourself, you always had your parents to fall back on - most of the time. This change in scenery and way of life is one thing that can be very shocking to many. As time goes on, we college students tend to get used to life without these rules and obligations but deep down we truly miss them.

Maybe we don't miss the annoying tasks that were given to us like taking the trash out or putting your dish in the sink after a meal but at the end of the day, we college students have to do it anyway. These annoyances at home are ones that don't get to us at school, because in reality, if no one takes the trash out, it's not going to magically disappear itself.

Appreciate your ability to have a place to go to where you'll always be supported and cared for no matter what. I promise nothing beats that...not even a weekend getaway to your favorite destination.

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.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
