Things I'm Thankful for
http://hotelbellwether.com

As the time of Thanksgiving comes up, we tend to give thanks for all that we have. However, during the time away from this great holiday, we usually tend to take what we have for granted and take advantage of the luxuries that we have. So here is a list of all the things that I'm thankful for.

1. Family- my family has been through a lot, but we've always been able to get through them whether it was good or bad. My family has been my biggest support system since I was little. My mom and brother were always so supportive of what I do and I can't thank them enough.

2. Friends- they've been my support system since I can remember. Some I've known longer than others but they have always been there for me, and I know I'll always be there for them. They have helped me create great memories and beautiful experiences such as having the time of my life dancing, playing league ball, or playing pick up games. These people are sure to be some of the most influential people I'll forever remember.

3. Sports- the sports world has been such a blessing to me that I can't even describe. I have made friends here and have been able to have some great memories with them. Sports has literally been the description of my life and they have been my escape from stress, and frustration. There's a reason why it's my major in college and there's no other major I'd rather be in.

4. Education- I'm thankful for my education because it is a real blessing to be able to go to school. The fact that I'm at a high level of education, I'm able to expand on my knowledge and be able to educate others on the meaning of school and the importance of getting an education.

5. The clubs I'm in- I'm am so thankful for the clubs I'm in. Not only are they fun and exciting but they also provide an escape from the stress of school and the work. The clubs I'm in have also provided me with great relationships that will last a lifetime. Most of all the clubs make me happy. They allow me to be myself and do what I love to do. These clubs are forever in my heart and so will the people in them.

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.
