Carrie Fisher's Best In "When Harry Met Sally"

Yeah, she will always be Princess Leia, but I'll always love her as Marie in When Harry Met Sally

What a week, huh? Well, actually, what a year. Mourning the losses of Prince, Zsa Zsa, George Michael, David Bowie, Muhammed Ali, and Debbie Reynolds, it's time we kiss 2016 goodbye.

Last week we lost Carrie Fisher, a great actress that is known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars. Not only did she play the great galaxy princess, but she also had a role as the best single friend in the 1990 film "When Harry Met Sally."

If anyone knows me then you know that "When Harry Met Sally" is my FAVORITE movie in the entire world. Harry (Billy Crystal) and Sally (Men Ryan) are two friends with a great life in New York City, great vintage fashion and hilarious jokes and quotes that are timeless.

Carrie Fisher plays Marie, the epitome of the single girl in New York. She has men after men listed in her rolodex, some listed as married, that she keeps with her at all times. She says the quote that sticks with women everywhere, "The right man for you might be out there right now and if you don't grab him, someone else will. And you'll have to spend the rest of your life knowing that someone else is married to your husband."

Fisher spends most of the movie as the girl that is "a magnet for unattainable men" also known as, a woman who is in love with married men. After accidentally getting set up with Harry's best friend Jess, Marie is head over heels in love. With their relationship being cuter than the main couple in the story, she proves at the end of the movie that there is someone out there for everyone -even if you have given up all hope.

Sure, Carrie Fisher will always be Princess Leia, but she will always be Marie with the puffy shouldered wedding dress to me in "When Harry Met Sally."

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!

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.
