The Sky

The sky is one of the coolest things out there. Don't argue me on this.

The Sky
Kelsey Brownlee

With all of the negativity going on pretty much on any media site you visit, I thought you may need some happiness. So I decided to not talk about something super serious or inspirational this week and talk about the sky and why I love it.

Why do I love the sky so much? There's just something about it that amazes me. Let me tell you, I could sit outside and look at the sky for hours upon hours. Why though? Let's break it down.

First off, simply the color of it. The sky can be literally any color you can think of. Grey. You ever seen the sky when it's snowing? Orange. Go outside and look at that sunset tonight. Blue. Obviously this ones a given. I mean, c'mon now. Green. If you've never been outside after a big storm, I advise you start doing so. Purple, pink blue, yellow- needless to say, the sky can range from a big hunk of cotton candy to a yummy bowl of sherbet.

Second, the concept of it. Have you ever really stopped and thought about how we even get to view the sky on a day to day basis? When looking up at the sky, we are looking at a small glimpse of space. Isn't that awesome? As humans, we are tiny compared to Earth which is even more tiny compared to everything surrounding it. People across the world are looking at the same sky we are.

Tres, the accessories. Stars, clouds, the sun, the moon- these are small little accessories that make looking up at the sky all the worth while. I mean, sure- looking up at just colors would be awesome too, but how do you think they got there? The pretty grey sky- came from clouds. The golden orange- that came from an awesome sunset. If we didn't have these accessories in the sky, would there really even be anything to look at other than just black? Even the stars- they're so small from our POV, but have you ever tried counting how many there are? You can't. There's so many which is so amazing.

All in all, the sky is a pretty cool thing to look at. God sure did a pretty dang good job when he created all of this stuff.

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.
