The FBI is reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private email server that she used while serving as secretary of state.

Wait, Give me some background.

The Clinton Foundation is a non-profit that was founded by the Clinton’s almost 20 years ago. The goal was to tackle small global issues like HIV/AIDS and gender equality. Problem is the Clintons have gotten a lot of side-eye for seeming to get too cozy with the foundation’s donors. Earlier this year, emails came out that showed donors asking Hillary for favors when she was Sec. of State. (Think getting visas, and personal meetings. Not good).

Okay, so what happened to bring this back up?

WikiLeaks released a memo from 2011 that showed that for years, Bill Clinton’s aide had pressured Clinton Foundation donors into hiring Bill for things like speaking events; even while Hillary was Secretary of State. Great for Bill’s wallet, not great for Hillary’s reputation with voters, who are still working through a lot of trust issues with her and the potential First Gentleman.

Where did the emails come from?

Unclear. However, U.S. officials say they’re pretty, pretty, pretty sure they have the Russian gov’s fingerprints all over them. This comes after the Democratic party was hacked earlier this year by groups thought to have ties to the Russian gov. Team Clinton says Russia’s doing this to give a leg up to GOP nominee Donald Trump, who’s given propsto Russian President Putin in the past. Trump says ‘not the case.’

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!
