Start realizing that you cannot fix someone.

To the Girl Who Keeps Breaking Her Own Heart
Sarah Braden

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, start loving yourself more. Start realizing that you cannot fix someone. Start protecting yourself from inevitable heartbreak because the boy you think you can change or think will change for you isn't going to.

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, it's not your fault that he won't love you back. You love with every fiber in your body, but even all the love in the world can't change a person. It may have worked in the Grinch, but the boy you care so much about is not miraculously going to grow a bigger heart.

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, remember that you deserve to be the first priority. You are not a second priority, or a third or even a last priority. You are worth more than inconsistent texts and mixed signals. You are worth more than being "just another girl" to him.

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, remember that you are too good to be sad over someone who isn't upset at all that they lost you. You have to appreciate and respect yourself before someone else can appreciate you. Don't worry about being without someone, you will be okay on your own.

To the girl who keeps breaking her own heart, to myself, you are sunshine on a rainy day. You are smart, you are kind, and someday you'll understand why things never worked out the way you wanted them to. Someday someone will love you the way you deserve to be loved. But today, you will put yourself first and stop breaking your own heart.

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!
