O is for overrated, which describes Uptown in a word.

The ABCs Of Uptown Towson

A: Alcohol

Let’s be honest, this is the only reason you go uptown anyways.

B: Beat The Clock

Do you beat the clock or does the clock beat you? Answer: the clock always wins

C: CVP

You only still go here because it’s the only place that accepts your fake.

D: (Lil') Dickey's

Standing on the wall is a Towson rite of passage.

E: Eating everything in sight

Whether it’s Lotsa, Kerb, McDonalds, Insomnia, or Slice, catch me at every single one of them after a night out.

F: Frat Boys

You can recognize Brad and Chad from Apple Theta Chai by their vineyard vines, Patagonia, and timbs. They can be seen with a juul in hand and will probably have just finished shotgunning a four loko.

G: Greene Turtle

So. Many. Stairs. But so worth it once you actually make the climb up.

H: Hyde

There have definitely been nights where I’ve gone uptown completely sober just to pet Hyde and get a hotdog.

I: Insomnia Cookies

Your uptown experience was forever changed once Insomnia Cookies came to Towson.

J: Juul

*Can’t see Rec Room through all the juul smoke* Will be seen in the hand of every Brad and Chad. Chances are you will see someone hitting a juul or charging one at any given point throughout your night.

K: Kent House

The quietest place uptown. You go here for 20 minutes when Turtle and Rec get to crowded and you need a break from all the people.

L: Lotsa

The Uptown holy grail.

M: Mozzarella Sticks from Kerb

For when the line at Lotsa is just too long.

N: Natty Light

Usually being shotgunned by Brad or Chad, Natty Light is effectively overpriced water in a can.

O: Overrated

Uptown in a word.

P: Pitchers

These are dangerous because you order one for the pics to post on Snapchat but 5 minutes later you are already half way done with it.

Q: Questioning my life choices

*Immediately regrets every life decision you made the next morning*

R: Rec Room

Where you go when Turtle denies your fake.

S: Sorority Girls

The reason you can’t get into Rec until 12 because Delta Everest Pie decided to have a social.

T: Torrent

Had to put this on the list because they’re making a comeback… apparently.

U: Unbuttoned Shirts

The longer you stay uptown the more hairy chests you see.

V: Vineyard Vines

Can be seen on every frat brother. Usually identified by their t-shirt, quarter zip pullover, or hat. They are usually more protective of their vineyard vines then they are of their own well-being.

W: Walking Home

For when the uber prices are just too expensive.

X: Xs on Hands

The easiest way to tell who is underage.

Y: York Road

The road where it happens

Z: ZZZs

The sound made after an eventful night uptown.

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.
