Checkmate:
How much does love cost?/because the price of life is priceless/ heartbreaks is more often/ trying to figure out this love thing got my mind jumping/ from heart to heart/ body to body/ you got the body of a goddess/ Expensive like a Bugatti/ yo smile is the fuel of the soul; that's yo rocket that's going places/ I'm just hitchhiking praying you'll pick me for yo journey/ I crack jokes think I'm funny? Similar to Bernie/ I'm the Mac trying to attack what yo ex missed out/ talking all them days he called out/ your love is a job you don't clock in no payment comes out/ now he gonna be at the counter how much does love cost?/ asking can he speak to the boss?/ you come thru like huh no Rick Ross/ now you behind my fuel exhaust/ I done found how much love done cost/ it don't cost a thing.... But you lost the only one that remain/ you lost the Q to your queen/ now you looking to bishop/ now bishop looking at knight/ now knight is looking at rook/ now rook is looking at pawns/ now once yo queen is gone/ it's the king by himself; with no source of help/ now checkmate your time is done/ it's a new king in town/ and his name is Quan..... So long

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!
