Thank you. That’s all I can think to say right now. Thank you for never failing to push me these past few months. Thank you for making me stretch my mind. Thank you for making me more interested in a field and career that I already wanted to pursue. Thank you for making every debate, discussion and lecture truly one that I was interested in. Thank you for making your class the one that I looked forward to every week and the only one that I was actually interested in studying for.

The first day of class you intimidated me with your designer clothes, years of in-depth experience and your tendency to speak a mile a minute.

Your class wasn’t easy. That’s something I can say easily. Your assignments and tests challenged us, pushing us to become better students and apply our knowledge rather than just memorize facts and figures.

You were incredibly charismatic. Every example you gave in class was relevant and something that people our age could understand. You made sense, which in my few short months at college is a skill I noticed many professors lacking.

When I went through tough times in the semester, you didn’t leave me behind in the work that I missed during the days I couldn’t come to class. You sat with me and went through each and every thing that I had missed, understanding the situation that I was in.

I will truly hold every professor I have from now on to the standard that you set. You make me want to be a better student. You make me want to put in the effort to have the career you did. You inspire me to reach my goals and aspire to be the best.

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.
