To The Guy Who Sweeps My Best Friend Off Her Feet,

Know that I'm thankful you came along.

She deserves someone like you. Someone who is excited about life with her and cherishes her for the old soul she is. She has vowed not to settle for anything less than something that is true, something that has meaning, and something that makes her a better person. If you're reading this, you must be the person she was holding out for, the person that makes all of these wonderful things a reality for her.

Know that she is special.

Not in the cliche "my best friend is the best" kind of way, but in the sense that she is extraordinary. That isn't a title that is earned by physical traits (but obviously she's a smokeshow). It's earned by being a beautiful soul. It's earned by being unique. While most people make their boldest statements as people by speaking out loud, or acting out loud, her boldest acts emanate from her quiet soul. This doesn't mean she's boring, it means that she has the beautiful ability to bring calmness to one's soul. If you're reading this, you've experienced her super power, and I know you understand. Don't ever take this for granted. In a world that is constantly spinning and consists of so much noise, and so much bs, I ask that you never take her ability to calm your soul for granted, because it is so rare and so valuable to your life.

Know that I'm glad she has found her adventure buddy.

Someone who will take chances with her and fulfill her desire to travel and see the world. Thank you for being patient with her until she was finally ready to explore. Thank you for listening to her thoughts and aspirations, and making her goals feel achievable and her dreams feel limitless. Thank you for agreeing to be the man that makes her wildest dreams within grasp. Thank you for caring enough to give her the courage to do whatever she wants to do in this life.

Know that I thank you for inspiring her to reach for more.

Thank you for not allowing her to settle and to always move forward. Thank you for encouraging her to learn about all that the world has to offer, and for being so excited to be her sidekick in experiencing it all. Thank you for making her feel alive, because there's such a difference between living life every day and feeling alive. Thank you for knowing the difference, and thank you for helping her to feel exhilarated and revived.

Know that I thank you for making her laugh.

Such a simple concept, but one that shouldn't be over looked. She has faced a lot of adversity in her life and is hands down the strongest person I know. Although she has that strength and it cannot and should not be compromised, thank you for taking the added stress that life imposes away from her. Thank you for being her breath of fresh air.

Know that I thank you for letting her live her life independently.

Thank you for not stifling her will to accomplish things on her own. Thank you for being proud of her for taking those steps on her own, and thank you for understanding when she just needs her girls. Thanks for understanding her ways and her thoughts. I appreciate that more than you will ever know.

Know that I thank you for making her believe in love and guiding her out of her comfort zone.

She has always been meant for exceptional things in this life, thank you for being apart of getting her to exactly where she's meant to be.

Know that from the bottom of my heart,

I thank you for being the guy who confirmed every amazing concept of love for my best friend. Thank you for making her dreams a reality.

Love,

Your Girlfriend's Best Friend.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

244

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!

16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

Rutgers University

Yify

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?

University of Southern California

5227

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.

No, I can't help you.

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!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

8. Having coworker who don't help out, who bend the rules just enough to screw you over.

9. Having to be at work after closing because a customer is taking forever and half! Not like I'd like to go home or anything!

10. Having shitty hours and more shifts than you asked for. Just because we don't have enough workers, doesn't mean I want to pick up every shift that you cant cover, oh great boss of mine!

11. Not having time for a social life. It gets old saying, "I can't I have work..." Every day of the week!

12. Having that lazy costumer who can't do anything for themselves... no please I'll get that, it's no problem at all!

It's just my face, I swear.

1. When you meet new people, they automatically assume you hate them or are rude.

2. People are constantly asking you if you're OK.

3. After being friends with someone for a while, they confess to you, "I thought you were so mean when I first met you," or, "I thought you hated me."

4. You get told to smile more, but they don't understand how scary that would be.

5. You're always labeled as seeming "judgy."

6. Passing a friend with your RBF in full force and not realizing you just shot them a death glare.

7. Being sarcastic, but everyone thinks you're outright rude.

8. Not knowing how mean you really look until you see a picture of yourself in resting face.

9. Your apologies never sound sincere because of your emotionless face.

10. Your "mad face" scares you.

11. And, lastly, people are constantly asking you if you are happy or having a good time because you look bored to death.

Please hold your blonde joke.

1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

8. "What sorority are you in?"

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."

The world's greatest university meets the world's greatest show.

1. When you get your acceptance letter

2. When you try to figure out how class enrollment works

3. When it’s move in day

4. When you arrive on campus and see all of the attractive people

6. When you find your squad

7. When you visit DHall (RIP) or EHall for the first time

8. When you take on way too many credits

9. When you go to your first party at JMU

11. Sunday Brunch
