In the wake of this past week's tragedies, it's important to mourn the deaths of the fallen. It's also important seek justice and demand peace in the face of our country's terror. We, as a country, are without a doubt crippled and divided (and it shows). We work against those different from ourselves without consideration of the others opinions or needs. This is why this great nation will never find the peace it desperately seeks

Firstly, the Black Lives Matter movement is important. It is important for people to find equality and justice in the country that promises them just that. To see anything but that is a negligence of the truth. I'm not going to sit here and speak for a movement that I cannot personally identify with, but I will stand behind them until they find the justice and equality they deserve. We must all see the inequality and understand it before we can change it.

Next, the lives of the police force in our country are important. These courageous men and women come together to protect all people in our country. Although this past week has been controversial, do not let this dim the truth: these people are the backbone of our country.

Without a doubt, our country is weak at this point and time. Many offer courses of action, but before any of this, what is necessary is prayer. I'm sure many people feel that prayer and thoughts are nice, but ineffective. This couldn't be further from the truth. In order to overcome any obstacle, you must first seek God's strength and wisdom. Once you have that, taking action is simply what follows.

My prayers lie with the families and loved ones stricken with tragedy this past week.

God Bless America

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!
