We are always told to be gentle and calm.

What if we were told to harbor a strong heart?

A massive tsunami,

keeping a steady pace.

A current strong enough to tear

through the ocean with a clear purpose


We are always told to relax.

What if we tamed our wild?

A hurricane without limits,

stirring everything awake in its wake.

A force to be reckoned with,

blowing fierce and true.


We are always told to stay grounded.

What if we let all our aspirations loose?

A bolt of lightning sparking through the inky sky,

illuminating the angry clouds in a brilliant flash.

A streak of determination,

clear and intent.


Stay powerful like a tsunami.

Let your heart speak volumes,

unwavering and indestructible.

Proud but balanced.

Unshakable.


Stay wild like a hurricane.

Undeniably capable of destruction,

but controlled with consideration.

Influential but thoughtful.

Uninhibited.


Stay focused on your mark like a lightning bolt.

A taste of liberation

ready to make a calculated strike.

Premeditated grace.

Unrestrained.


Accepting yourself

and embracing your wild

while you learn to tame it,

will give you

unlimited

freedom.

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!
