moving on is necessary

I am by no means an expert on life. If I'm being honest, who really is? We are all facing battles or bumps daily. It is so easy to get angry and throw something at the wall, scream in your pillow, or even just sit and listen to sad music. Why do we listen to sad music, when we are sad? I always say that I do, because I want to let all my sadness out. I know, that sounds crazy right? Even though it does sound crazy, it seriously works for me. It is as if me being mildly sad wasn't enough, so now I'm going to listen to The Fray or Coldplay to get really sad. Then, after I'm done being a baby I think about all the reasons I should be happy. We are all human and sometimes we just need to let out our emotions. I know that sometimes you feel crazy and maybe you don't want to tell someone why you are upset. Maybe you don't think they will understand, or make you feel better. That is a risk you might have to take. If you don't tell anyone you will keep it to yourself and try to "move on" or forget. The thing is, you can't "move on", unless you let go of something. You might think you are fine and have moved on, but it will always come back until you truly give it the needed emotions. Bottling up so much emotion and anger will crush your soul.

Life isn't suppose to be an easy game of glow in the dark mini golf. If it was easy, you would never learn anything. You are given tasks that seem impossible, so that when you actually overcome them you feel a feeling like no other. You have achieved a rewarding moment or reached a new level in life. That moment in your life might be small to some, but to you it means the world and more. One thing I have to share, is that you must, without a doubt, love your mistakes. Everything happens for a reason, there is no accident as to why you are here. There might be things you wish you could've done better, but you did them exactly like you were suppose to. So DO NOT dwell on the past. Look at today and see how you can help or live more in the moment. We can't control what happens, but we can control what we learn from it. Seek to learn, love and grow.

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!
