With all the chaos from the election, I think it’s time for millennial adults to embrace the throwback pleasantries that brought so much joy to our childhood. I’m pretty sure, Hey Arnold! was a staple in many 90’s babies households. I know I loved the show greatly, and I often wondered what jazz music “football head” would listen to in 2016. It’s no secret that Arnold was a big fan of jazz music, here are five jazz songs I think Arnold would greatly enjoy in today’s crazy world.

1. Lady Wray- "Do It Again"

This soulful song is a great choice that Arnold would love. The song uses plenty of jazz elements including trumpets, drums, and a melodic singer that makes the song come to life. The song is busy, but controlled and I think football head would defiantly jam to it. The singer's soulful and brassy voice make the song unique and up-beat for Arnold.

2. Kenny G- "Songbird"

Legendary jazz icon Kenny G's "Songbird" would defiantly have Arnold relaxing to the smooth sounds of saxophone melodies. The beautifully pitched saxophone is accompanied with a laid back melody, that can lead Arnold's mind in to a dream-like trance. "Songbird" is a classic jazz song that stands the test of time and really showcases the talents of the saxophone.

3. Sade- "Smooth Operator"

(Sigh) Oh, Sade. Why do you have to be so great? "Smooth Operator" is the jazz song that gives off "sexy" vibes. It's perfect for Arnold if he wants to set the mood for a date night. With vibrant sounds from the saxophone and a sultry voice from Sade herself, Smooth Operator could guarantee Arnold win a second date after his lady listens to it.

4. Norah Jones- Don't Know Why

"Don't Know Why" is great song that will provide Arnold's ears with a contemporary jazz sound that's somewhat slow and gentle. Norah Jones's sweet voice compliments the piano so softly and it seems the two are in perfectly harmony. This song would serve as great "coffee shop music" for Arnold as it isn't loud or abrasive.

5. Tony Bennett featuring Amy Winehouse- Body and Soul

Rest In Peace Amy Winehouse. This song is so beautiful, Arnold would appreciate the raw vocal talent that Tony and Amy bring to this jazz classic. The lyrics are also beautiful and describe loving someone's physical body in all of it's imperfections and intricate soul. The two voices blend perfectly together and the soft piano in the background makes this song a joyous tune. Arnold might have this song on repeat because it truly evokes the sound of jazz.

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.
