Stop Trying To Find Your "Type"

Your type of guy is overrated.

Stop Trying To Find Your "Type"

In the words of Rae Sremmurd, "I ain't got no type."

Brown eyes, brunette hair, tall... my ideal guy- or so I thought.

People who constantly look for that certain person based on who they think they want are going to miss out on opportunities with other people. We all do it, guilty as charged. But when you constantly hear that one friend talk about how no guys like her, it's probably because her expectations are too high. I'm not much of the Prince Charming, sweep you off your feet, kind of girl, but in reality that rarely happens.

When you picture your ideal person and actually meet that person, 9/10 times they won't meet your expectations. Instead we develop a physical attraction instead of an emotional connection. You wouldn't want to be crying over a tub of ice cream or chugging through beers just to mention you met the perfect person, but it was just a hookup. Yeah, that's a blow to the ego. How many times have you heard your friends say, "he/she is everything I've ever wanted but...." But, nothing. No matter what, that person is always going to be compared to your "type" that you created in your mind.

What I'm saying is, even if a person you meet isn't what you thought you'd be into, give it a shot. You can't help who you fall for and "the one" could be someone you least expect. Whether it be a friendship or a relationship, you can't deny a connection. Opposites attract just as well as anyone else. So if your zodiac is telling you not to date someone because you two aren't "astrologically compatible," (1) you probably shouldn't be dating and (2) it's your life. You have the option to do as you please, but don't skip out on an opportunity. It's time to try something new.

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!
