1. Taking photos for my Tinder profile.

I always get stressed out when it comes to taking photos. Throw in the fact that people rate my attractiveness based on these pictures. It only leads to chaos. If I want to take a really good photo, I'll take an average of two hours just to look good. Then it takes another 30 minutes to find someone who is willing to help me take the photos. In the end, this plus taking the photos takes about three hours. In the end, I usually end up with zero photos that I actually like.

2. Showing my friends someone you matched with.

Every time I tell my friends that I started talking to a guy, they always ask for a photo. And usually, after a few glances, my friends will either approve or hate the guy for the rest of their life. There are even times where my friends will be on my phone checking out the guys who would be a perfect match for me. Usually, we all make a unanimous decision on who I should swipe for. This is a fun way to spend times with my friends.

3. Going on Tinder whenever I'm bored.

I always had the horrible habit of going onto Tinder whenever I was bored and didn't know what to do. This always lead to me mindlessly swiping through people, not fully paying attention to who I was swiping for. My mindless swiping lead me to some very interesting/unwanted conversations with guys I was never interested in the first place. One of many reasons for why I stopped using the app.

4. Getting excited whenever you have a lot in common with a guy.

I'm terrible at carrying out a conversation. I never know what to say. I always feel very awkward, especially when I'm talking to someone brand new. But if I find out that that person and I have something in common, the conversation gets more interesting. I get more comfortable if someone expresses interests in something I also enjoy. It makes having a conversation easier.

5. Talking to someone who is too forward.

This always happened to me. There would always be a guy who seemed nice. We would talk for a day or two. All of a sudden, I would get a message from them saying, "So. Want to hook up?" I automatically get annoyed and tell them that that's not what I'm looking for at the moment. This usually leads to the end of the conversation and me feeling extremely confused.

6. It's a new person every week.

Once you stop talking to one person, another one starts showing interest. And although it may be fun at first, it gets pretty boring. After a while, you just hope someone just stays a little while longer. Not saying that someone shouldn't enjoy talking to different people. I personally want someone who willing to be apart of my life and not randomly stop talking to me.

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!

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.
