This One Goes To My Best Friend

I know that this will be all you'll talk about for the rest of my life.

This One Goes To My Best Friend
Maria Perez

Dear bestie,

I honestly don't know where to begin. You know how horrible I am with expressing my feelings. I just want to start off by saying that I never expected to be super close to you when we first moved into college freshman year. You just a stranger who was randomly assigned to the same room as me. It wasn't until we shared our mutual love for The Wanted that we started hanging out more. You soon became my number one concert buddy due to all of the concerts we went together. Once our first year of college ended, you were one of my best friends.

Over the years, we've had our share of memories. All of those road trips to other states just to go to a concert (getting stranded in the middle-of-nowhere New Jersey was the worst). Our last minute decisions to go several tapings of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "Saturday Night Live." And there are so much more.

You have become a part of my family over the past couple of years. My parents love to refer to you as the "adopted daughter." I always consider as my sister. We may argue and get mad at each other, we're able to talk it out and apologize. We've been able to vent about whatever is bothering us without any judgment whatsoever. We've seen each other cry. We've watched each other's back for the past three to four years.

With only two months left before we graduate college, it's weird to think that we won't be seeing each other every single day. I just want to thank you for being there for all these years. That you were able to put up with my anger problems and sudden mood swings. You've made it a one-of-a-kind college experience that I wasn't expecting. It'll be weird trying to maintain a long-distance friendship, but I'm sure we'll make it work.

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.
