"You can do whatever you want, you just have to know what that is. For me, it's Lucky Charms and TV." -Abed Nadir

1. Weekends dedicated to school-wide paintball competitions

Stress relief? Check. Strategy and competition? Check. Bucket-loads of fun? Triple check!

2. Taking Anthropology 101 with Betty White

Because, who knows more about life than Betty White? Personally, I'd be ecstatic if she taught any one of my classes. On Community, her name is Professor June Bauer, but no matter what she calls herself, she will definitely entertain and engage the students!

3. Random dances held throughout the year

Dean Pelton is always trying to engage the students in social events, and one of his favorite ways is by hosting school-wide dances. The themes range from your normal Halloween and Valentine's Day dances all the way to Transfer Student Dance.

4. Student-run Morning Show

Who doesn't love Troy and Abed in the Morning? If there were to be a student-run morning show on campus, I just might want to wake up a little bit earlier in the morning.

5. An interactive relationship with the Dean

Dean Pelton is an eccentric chararcter to say the least! He is invested in the lives of his students, especially the study group that is the show's focus, and even more especially Jeff. Dean Pelton loves to engage in student activities and bond with his students. I would love to have a more personal bond with the administration on my own campus. They become real people instead of just people you've heard about.

6. Dedicated study groups that last years

Finding a good quality study group in one class during one semester is difficult enough. To have one that lasts years, through multiple classes, would be the best thing to happen to any student.

7. Parodying TV shows and movies in real life just because you can

Who wouldn't want to bring their favorite shows and movies to life? Escaping the stress of school for a bit and immersing yourself into the life of one of your favorite characters can do wonders on the mind. And, it's a total blast!

8. Dioramas for class

Dioramas are everything school is about: hands on experience, imagination, creativity, and learning. It's much better than sitting in a boring room and listening to monotonous lectures every day.

9. Abed's documentaries

Participating in a cool documentary would be awesome. Maybe a new star would be discovered! Of course, the best films are narrated by Abed.

10. Building a blanket fort throughout campus

It's every child's dream! Imagine how incredible this would be. You could grab a book and some hot cocoa and chill in a corner, or have a movie marathon with popcorn and friends, or plan a huge pillow fight. The activities are endless, as well as the fun!

11. True diversity

Interacting with those that are different from you is an important part of cultural growth. To form bonds with these people can broaden your outlook on life in so many ways. The people at Greendale range in race: from White/Caucasian to Middle Eastern to Black/African-American. They are of different religions and beliefs: from agnosticism to atheism to Christianity to Buddhism. They all have vastly different personalities and a variety of interests. The interesting conversations and possibilities are countless!

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.

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.
