A Letter To United Airlines

No, this is not a angry rant

Dear United Airlines, when I first read about and even watched the video of the incident with the man you kicked off the plane and then continued to beat down and yell at I was appalled and very upset. At first it was very inhumane to me that a huge airline company would do something so terrible but now after thinking it through I'm no longer upset with your Airline company. To those of you who still think I'm crazy for not hating United let me break it down for you. If a cop pulls you over and tells you to get out of the car and you just sit there and don't listen what do you think is gonna happen? You're probably going to get dragged out and beat if necessary. When someone of authority tells you to do something you do it, it doesn't matter what the reason is. If you just follow what they say then nobody is gonna get hurt. The airport security told the man that he had to get off the plane, he didn't listen. It doesn't matter if he was a doctor. He resisted and had to be dragged off a plane and he got hurt for not simply listening. Do I think that United could've handled this situation in a better way? I mean yeah the way they handled it was not the best solution but they were doing their jobs and they are not the bad guys here. The man who was dragged off is not bad either. Listen to authority when they tell you to do something and nobody gets hurt.

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!
