Daylight Savings Time Just Started Again and I'm Already Tired

Time is one of the things we just don’t have control over, so what makes us feel like we need to.

Oh, time change, you are back again.

I still don’t understand you and you are definitely my least favorite calendar holiday. I have a hard-enough time know what time it is already and right when my body clock is adjusted, you take away an hour of my time. That is an entire episode of This Is Us (with commercials) that you are taking away from me.

I am a college student and I prioritize my sleep. It is hard enough to get up before 8 already, now it is going to feel like I’m getting up before 7? No thank you.

Also, I know it is meant to give us more hours of daylight, but if you give the Earth a chance to catch up, it will get light on its own. Why take an hour away from us if you are just going to give it back in November? Also, it happens on a different day every year and the only other holidays that do that are Easter and Thanksgiving and at least on those holidays, I get a good meal out of it. The world doesn’t even all participate and we all share the same sun. If I was vacationing in Arizona and Daylight Savings Time starts, it’s just a normal day. Then you come back home, and you are even more mixed up.

My point is that I don’t quite understand why we feel the need to turn our clocks back in forth twice a year. I’m all for “springing forward” into a new season, but either don’t let us “fall back” or just stop observing the holiday altogether. Time is one of the things we just don’t have control over, so what makes us feel like we need to. I’m going to close now because I’m sleepy. However, for all my fellow anti-Daylight Savings Time peoples, hang in there, November is only 7 months away.

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.
