To The Girl Who Chooses Grades Over Partying

Don't listen to them, do you.

People may judge you for choosing to start that paper early on a Friday night instead of going out , but don’t listen to them, do you.

Your parents did not pay a huge amount of money for your education, just to go out every weekend, skip class, and not care about your grades. That’s just nonsense, not everyone gets to have an education, so the fact that you value your education, study hard, and apply yourself is not something to be ashamed of.

Now I am not saying stay in your room and study all day long. No, enjoy the college life, embrace it. Enjoy the young life and everything it has to offer. However, make sure that assignment is done before going out. Prioritize.

Never second guess yourself because you are the responsible college student that you are. In the end, it will all pay off. Everyone is proud of you because you are the focused, smart individual that you are and not the basic college girl that everyone hooks up with.

If boys overlook you because you’re focused and have goals to achieve, then that is their loss. You are trying to get somewhere and do something with your life; you don’t have time for them to hold you back. Do you. I know you may feel intimidated by the girl who gets all the athletes, but does she know the difference between, there, their, and they’re; what do her grades look like; does she have goals. Don’t get mixed in what other people do. Do you.

So, continue to study hard for that test, continue to worry about achieving that high GPA, continue to achieve your goals and set the bar high. Let them sleep while you grind. Let them grind while you work. The difference will show.

You good, you poppin’.

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!
