How I Met Your Mother is one of my all-time favorite shows. Barney Stinson is a character that does not seem like a social norm, but if you pay close attention, he does have a more realistic side. Although Barney never actually attended college he is most relatable to college students.


When you have a million things to do and try to hold yourself together.

.

When you have finished an assignment that you poured your soul and a week's worth of your life into and need to know your grade immediately.

When a friend wants you to go out, but instead you decided to go to bed by 9.

When you become friends with a bunch of seniors and they are graduating in a few months.

When professors make you actually read the textbooks.

When you put something on other than sweatpants and a t-shirt for the first time in a week.

When you pull an all-nighter to finish all of your assignments knowing you have a class first thing in the morning.


When you can't remember what your flashcards said, so you make something up in hopes of getting partial points.

When your professors say that the paper/project is not something you can do last minute, so you do every single thing a week before finals.


While we may not all be at the bar every night trying to pick up girls, we can all relate to Barney.

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.
