If You Want To Create A Long-Lasting Impression, Be Truly Original

Being original is a trait that has gone through its share of ups and downs many times. So what exactly does being original mean? In my opinion, being original is when a person stays true to him or herself under the extremest circumstances. Being original refers to a person's unshakeable self-confidence when it comes to expressing their talents and interests.

For instance, there is no benefit in mimicking another person when it comes to their body language, behavior, voice, or even appearance. This type of mimicry will just end up showcasing your cowardice and how scared you really are in further revamping yourself. You wouldn't want to not effectively use your innate creative license just for the sake of showing-off! In other words, everyone should begin introducing their ideas, talents, and interests from a slightly unique angle. We wouldn't want to be part of a world that is more similar than diverse!

Currently, the world is lacking the taste of originality because most people are more inclined towards remodeling the actions of others. In pop culture, many music videos are now remixes taking and remodeling the lyrics and background score from a former popular musical composition. This is something that further adds to the fact that we are all attracted to the works of others becoming more appealing as opposed to working diligently towards bringing out the best in us. We are the future and the world will benefit magnificently from what we attribute thus increasing the amount of vibrant diversity in the world. When you drift away from portraying yourself in the truest light possible, you are actually disrespecting yourself and your talents. Strive to impress the world with your personality in order to create that larger than life first impression.

This will come in handy when you are preparing for the potential job interviews which could ultimately pave the gateway towards your dream job. Let's be real, you wouldn't want to miss out on awesome job opportunities just because you couldn't showcase your eye-catching personality. Indeed, being true and original takes you way far in life than you may ever expect.

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!
