My thoughts on my experience

My first time experience on a Greyhound bus

Its a Thursday morning when I wake up at 5 am to leave my house at 5:30 am. You may ask yourself where am I going at this point in the morning during my summer vacation. I am on my way to take my first greyhound bus ride of my life at the age of 19. On the ride up to the bus station, looking out at the scenery I cant help but be both excited and nervous for my trip. When we get to the bus station, I check in my bag and get the luggage tag for it. We sit there and wait and wait and wait. We all start to line up as it gets closer to boarding time. Yet they dont board us, 5 minutes before we are suppose to depart the station, mind you still not boarded yet, they tell us that they have to change out the bus because the mirror is about to fall off. Like the bus has been sitting there for a while and you just now need to go get it replaced. So well we wait for that bus to come, the nervousness kicks in because I want to get going on my travels. When we finally board the bus 45 minutes after we were supposed to leave, I sit down in my seat, and connect to the wifi. Trying to get Pandora to work but it doesnt seem to, so I am stuck with my same 25 songs on my phone that I have listened to many times now and believe i listened to them each like 3 or 4 times while on the bus. As we drive I keep checking the map that tells us where we are, wanting to know how close we are. When I finally reach my destination sight, I take a deep breath and realize all my stress before hand was for nothing, I made it.

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!

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.
