I'm a hypocrite. But guess what, so are you. How many times do you hear the words “do what you love”, “dream big”, or “Just do it”, and how many times do you yourself say those cliché phrases. Let me answer that, you say it all the freaking time to people and you hear it all the time. This is where the hypocrisy comes in play. You say this, just like I do, but you know that you will never actually do any of these things yourself.

So, since nobody wants to be a hypocrite, let’s stop. Stop spending your nights looking at pictures on Instagram of other people living the life that you want and make a change. Take that insanely crazy jump and go for it. Travel to the places you’ve always dreamt of going to. Follow your dream of becoming a professional athlete, a singer, an artist, a certain career, a scholar, an Instagram model, the next bachelorette, whatever the heck it is, do it. Close your eyes and think of the one impossibly amazing thing that you have always dreamt of. Then, throw away the thoughts that are telling you it is impossible.

A dream is called a dream because for some reason everybody has decided that these amazing wants out of life aren’t realist and therefore they gave them the name, dream. Who had the right to decide for everybody in the world that what they want the most is “unrealistic”. Replace the word “dream” with “goal” and work towards it!

We are all so incredibly lucky to live in this world and so few are taking advantage of it! Stop settling for what is reasonable and start taking some risks. There are no limits. So ask yourself if you could be or do anything you want, what is it? And I dare you, better off I double dog dare you, to go for your dream.

Or, just ignore me and go back to bed, you can always dream there.

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!

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.
