Dear You,

Who are you? Are you still the person who thought he had the world at his feet, or are you the person who promised me the world? You choose. Actually, no. You chose.

It's like one day you just disappeared and left no trace of what you used to be to me. You chose to go back to being as empty as you were before we met. It's truly sad to see everything we build ourselves upon is now just irrelevant. The plans, the dreams, the hopes. They all seem to think it was always a joke to you and quite frankly I'm starting to think we were a joke too.

It seems like leaving was a choice you made overnight. Like you woke up one morning and decided to go back to your old self, asking me to forget how used to having you I was. It's kind of like punching me in the face, but I'll try to think of it as a punch with a soft boxing glove. Because I don't know what to do or what to say anymore. You have time for everything except for at least wondering if I'm still alive. We went from talking all day every day to not saying a word like it is that easy to just cut off someone out of my life. I keep blaming it on myself because you're going around living your life so calmly like none of this ever meant a thing.

I was good to you. I loved you the exact way I've always wanted to be loved and it was the last thing that I felt confidently good at. But it's okay. I don't know if I will ever be able to thank you for being everything and nothing at once. It makes no sense. But I'm done. I truly wish you the best and I hope from the bottom of my heart that life gives you whatever you need to fill your emptiness.

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!
