Roommates: From Randoms To Part Of The Fam

We might not have it all together, but together we have it all.

Roommates: From Randoms To Part Of The Fam

As I finish up my last month of my freshman year of college, I can not emphasize enough how much my suitemates in my freshman dorm have become my family. It's so easy to just blow off roommates and find other friends but knowing I have them makes college a thousand times better. I have those nights where I sit in bed late at night wondering how I got so lucky to get put in a suite with such amazing girls who are now some of my closest and bestest friends.

It's crazy to think how much we've been through together in the past 9 months and that in within only a few short weeks, the experiences we've had will only be memories to cherish. Through the ups and the downs, those four girls have been the air I breathe and the life I live. I am so thankful to have them and I know years down the road, we will still be best of friends and most likely will be at each others' weddings doing who knows what sort of things.

Some people have no idea how much they can have an impact on someone, but I hope they know that my life has been changed for the better because of them. From the nights out that we've stumbled through together or the days where we've spent hours on end studying for exams, we've been through it all. It truly is special to find those people in life and I can honestly say they are family to me. From planned summer visits to holidays spent together, memories will continue to be made and cherished through the years.

Like I like to put it, we may not have it all together, but together we have it all.

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.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
