Making The Choice To Leave

Leave if you want "easy."

We've all been through it, seen it, or have heard about it, someone telling someone they love them one day, expressing that they are the best thing that has came into their life, and then changing their mind the next day. Going from having someone in your life to not speaking. People cannot leave like that, I've never been able to leave like that, but somehow they have no problem doing it.

For future reference, these are the most common things that seem to push people away. When you come across these aspects of a person, only run away if you are a coward and cannot handle such a strong person in your life...

When you find out how much my education means to me, don't think that I will soon not be able to have time for you. You make time for the people that you want to make time for. If I can watch other relationships and friendships prosper with people who have even more demanding majors than I, then trust me, I can make time. So don't become jealous or think that I care more about my education than I do the people around me. I am aware of the things that are more important than money and work in life.

When you find out how much my family means to me, do not become overwhelmed. It's the best thing in the world seeing where someone comes from and meeting the people who raised the person you love. Family is so welcoming and they'll most likely make you feel like family the minute you walk in.

When you find out how much my friends mean to me, meet them. Do not become jealous of the guy friends I have, especially because we were not that friend group to serial date each other or sleep with one another. Believe it or not, it is possible to just be friends with the opposite sex!

When you find out that I usually know exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to say it, do not become afraid of that. Appreciate that that my parents taught me to think before I speak.

When you find out how much faith I have in humanity, do not ruin that for me. These rules apply. So by all means, if you cannot handle the basic characteristics of a strong human being, then do not waste my time and your own time.

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!
