"Do You Ever Feel Like a Plastic Bag?"

Sometimes life gets the better of us- but that does not mean we do not push through.

"Do You Ever Feel Like a Plastic Bag?"
Thought Co

The other day the song “Firework” by Katy Perry just got stuck in my head for no reason. As I started to sing the lyrics in my head I never felt that the lyrics were more relevant to my life. Life is hard, sometimes it will get the best of you.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

As I get older the more I realize that life is so much more complex than sometimes you can fathom. Sometimes you get so lost in life you sit back and think about all the things you could have done differently and how much you wish you could start over.

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Stress- that is one thing every college students understand. Especially finals week, you feel stretched thing between the end of the year, finals, friends and anything else that is going on in your life. You feel as if another thing happens you won’t be able to go on.

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Sometimes we can’t help but feel alone and sad in the world. We all feel it and we all feel like no one around us can help or will be willing to listen.

Do you know that there’ still a chance for you
‘Cause there’s a spark in you
You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the fourth of July
‘Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “oh, oh, oh!”
As you shop across the sky-y-y

No matter how much we go through and how much we have going on in life we always have a chance to turn things around. We as humans have so much potential. We can do anything. All we have to do is believe in ourselves. Other people will always be better and try to put us down but that doesn’t mean aren't worth anything. We are worth something and we can accomplish anything.

Thank you Katy Perry. For this song. For telling us no matter what and how we feel through out life we are always worth something and we always need to try. We can do anything. So thank you for reminding us.

xx

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!
