To The Girl Who Doesn't Want to Wait

Believe me when I say waiting was the best choice I ever made.

For some of us, it's so hard to see everyone around you with a significant other.

You see the amount of happiness they have and you try to tell yourself that you're happy with just being yourself. but yet you know want more.

So you search. You try your hardest to mean something to someone. You begin to act a certain way and you slowly become something you're not.

Eventually, a guy comes along and he shows interest in you.

You jump at that chance while not really paying attention to who this guy truly is; you're just glad to finally have someone who gives you that type of attention.

You don't really see it right off, but that person isn't the real you.

You became so obsessed with trying to be something for someone, that you totally left behind the real you.

When we try to be something we aren't, we are never truly happy.

You may have a significant other, but after a short time, it ends because that happiness isn't satisfying you like you thought it would because, deep down, you really aren't any happier than you were before.

It just was never a real relationship.

So for all the girls who are rushing that relationship, don't rush it.

I promise you it is worth the wait.

After going through so many relationships that ended with a heart breaking halt, I knew something was wrong

I had went down such a bad path.

I had given up and told myself that I was only going to focus on myself and wait for that guy to pursue me instead of me be the one who would always pursue.

I had no interest in being with anyone for a long time.

I was truly broken.

But then, I met someone who completely rescued me.

Four years later, I can truly say this guy is the one.

He knows the real me and I know the real him.

We respect each other, we look after each other, and we never give up on each other.

In no way has he ever made me feel like I need to be something I'm not to be loved.

He has always pushed me to embrace the real me and to be confident.

He truly has shown me what love really is, and how much of a joke those other relationships were.

So to all the girls who struggle with waiting, please don't give up.

No matter how much heartbreak you have went through or how badly you have been treated, one day someone will walk into your life and you will understand why it was worth the wait.

The right guy for you will come along, and when he does you will know.

You will feel completely comfortable with this person and you will know that they truly love you.

You will finally feel at home.

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!
