I don’t have my future plans set yet, and that’s okay

The only thing that truly matters is what will make you happy.

Between high school and the beginning of your college career, a lot needs thought on. There is also a lot of expectations from those around you. The only thing that truly matters is what will make you happy. What do you want to do? 

I for one, am waiting a year to go to college. Trust me, I thought I had it all figured out. Different high school courses made me change my mind. I can't decide between three potential life (career) paths. Like I said I thought I knew what I wanted for a long time, but I was introduced to bigger, different perspectives.  

No, You do not need to have everything set. You are young, if you're either entering adult hood or a young adult. Plenty of kids dive in to college undecided and that's okay. Plenty of people change their major, that's also okay. You make your own decisions. If your mind changes multiple times, who is to judge you? It's your future, make it worth your while. I don't know about you, but I'd rather be doing something I truly enjoy in life rather than being miserable somewhere that isn't me.

If you don't even see yourself going to college, there is other options for your future. Some people are just set on the family life, nothing wrong with that. Undecided if you want to go into the military or not? Think about. If you are interested in something even if in a small amount, look into whatever it is, you may change your mind. 

Whatever it is, you should take the time to think about, take notes on, review things, for what you want in your future. No matter what you have time. This is your life. Your the one that has to deal with your decisions. Make it worth your while. Don't let people's "You don't know what you're doing yet?!", "You're halfway through hs senior year, what're you doing!", "You changed your major?!" hold you back, you do what you got to do. Take your time.

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.
