You mean everything to us.

Sorority Sugar

Dear beautiful seniors,

I really don't know where to start. Honestly, I just can't believe that it's time for us to send you off. I foolishly denied that being an adult was required at some point in life and that college sorority life somehow lasted forever. I assumed that we would always be having dinner together after meeting, movie nights in the house, and glittering up for Greek week and homecoming together forever. But that's not how it is. You have to go out and be an adult, and as much as I need to be OK with that, I'm not. Actually, none of us are. I want to scream and tell you to stay, but I'll hold that inside if you promise to hear me out.

You all are shining stars in our eyes. Please never forget that. You helped our chapter soar to new heights in scholarship, philanthropy, and most importantly, sisterhood. You have supported us through our best and worst moments as a chapter, and for that, we are all grateful. You have no idea how special you are to each and every one of us.

We aren't ready for you to go, but we are so proud of you as you prepare to walk across that stage with your cap and gown. We are proud of how far you have come, and how far that we know you will go. These past years have been fantastic, but now it's time to let you share your beautiful souls with the rest of the world.

Do what you need to do. We know you are each going to change the world. So go ahead and go to grad school, get that dream job, travel the world, anything you want. Don't sell yourself short because we all know that you deserve absolutely nothing less than the best. Live with grace. Live with purpose. Live your dreams.

When you have a bad day in your beautiful office, or wherever your dreams take you, we hope that you look back and think of us. We hope you remember all of the smiles you gave us and how much of an inspiration that you are to each and every one of us. You are never alone. When you get lost in life, remember our values. Remember what drove you to this organization and what made you stay. And most importantly, call us. We will continue to support you through all of your future adventures. Sisterhood is not just for four years, but for life.

Please never think that you will not be missed next year. You will always be in our mind as we bring in new sisters, participate in our campus events and much more. Your positive spirit will loom over us as we continue to make our sisterhood as great as it can be.

If you forget all but one thing, please remember that you will always and forever be our sister and that we love you more than words can say.

This is not goodbye, just "see you later".

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.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
