Some Words to Live By

From me to you.

Some Words to Live By

1. Be genuine.

There's something rare about describing someone as genuine. It's refreshing when you meet someone who's authentic, who's honest, and who means what they say. People pick up on that. You should always strive to be as genuine as possible. It's the purest type of truth.

2. Always say thank you.

Never forget to say thank you. Those two words go a long way.

3. Tell the people close to you that you care about them.

Those things are important. Let the people you love know that you care and appreciate them. Do it more often than not.

4. Handle negative situations with grace.

You are in control of your actions. Despite the negativity around you, try and handle yourself in a respectable way.

5. Live in the moment.

It's easy to overthink. It's easy to fall into a cycle of looking too far into the future or past to enjoy the present. Don't let yourself get caught up because things are never going to be like they are in this exact moment in time.

6. Be kind and stay humble.

Kindness always wins. Be humble and stay grounded because at the end of the day, those who are down to earth never lose who they are, and if they do, they'll always find their way back.

7. Have confidence.

Because even on the worst days, you have the ability to turn things around.

8. Do what makes you happy.

At the end of the day, your happiness is what matters the most.

9. Know when it's time to move on.

Whether that be from a relationship or a friendship, know when someone becomes toxic, and know that it's okay to move on.

10. What's meant to be, will be.

Life has a funny way of working itself out. Trust that and let it be.

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!
