What makes you think you're ready without being ready? Not sure what I mean? Well, let me explain. Whether the relationship you're getting out of ended on a positive note or a negative, don't throw away the napkin after one wipe. Most times, you'll have to grab another because you've missed a crumb, if not many.

Let's say you decided to go out that evening after ending things with your now ex partner earlier in the day just to get it off your mind and just thought you'd be A-OK. It's not as easy as you think because when you start chatting it up with an complete stranger. It may seem like heaven at first but true hell at the last. You're going to get immediately trapped in your feelings and lose it! Maybe you hold back from telling this person you just met that you ended things with someone only a few hours ago, and try to hold your composure while with this random flame...BUT you suddenly get emotional and walk away from the scene, leaving them questioning if they care enough that they aren't getting further than that club tonight!

On the other hand, you could be very open and spill your guts after a few drinks with the tears flowing and they'll pretend to care. Hello? They just want a good time and couldn't care less that your eyebrow game or personal hygiene is off for the evening with the rest of you!

The point of this post is to commonly understand that, no matter how strong you may think you are, you are NOT ready to barge into another big bang shabam of any sort with anyone because you haven't developed a proper relationship with yourself. Practice catering to yourself as the Queen or King you could only wish to ever be and then use those skills and apply them in the future!

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!
