This time is hard for everyone, and it's really hard to keep your head up when you're not really sure what's going to happen tomorrow or even in the next few days. How I get through it, though, is with prayer. I know that no matter what is going on in the world, I always have God on my side.

I know it's tough for everyone, but my heart especially goes out to those who feel like they have nowhere to turn. I am praying for you, whether you are religious or not. I am praying for every single person on this earth to find safety and to keep their faith during these hard times.

I encourage those of you who are anxious and have no where to turn to get the Bible app and start a devotion about faith, download a book that will help you push past anxiety, or even call up a friend or family member and ask them to pray for you during this time.

It won't be easy; some of us may be dealing with a lot more hardship than others, but this is the time for us to come together as a community and pray. Pray for your loved ones, for your state, for your country, for our leaders and first responders - it matters so much just to keep them in our thoughts but reaching out and letting them know you're thinking of them means so much more.

I guess what I'm saying is, the way for us all to keep our faith during this crazy time of uncertainty is to not lose sight of the God who created us and to not emotionally isolate ourselves. Reaching out is how we can keep our community alive and well during this time. Even if everything around us stops, our prayers and communication don't have to.

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!
