Five Truths About Being Single On Valentines Day

With Valentines day literally being right around the corner, it is inevitable that the unavoidable truth of being single on such a romantic holiday is going to set in. However, little did you know this is probably the best scenario possible on Cupid's Day, and here's why.

1. You can eat a whole box of chocolate without being judged. Or a whole pint of ice cream. On your couch. In your underwear.

2. You can go see the new Fifty Shades Darker movie (in theaters on Valentine's Day) with your other single friends.

3. Valentine's Day isn't just about significant others. Take this opportunity to celebrate the other wonderful relationships in your life.

For example, your mom, best friend, sister, or even dog.

4. Take this opportunity to enjoy the perks of being single!

Not being tied down comes with a lot of perks. Especially when you are in your twenties, you want to enjoy this new freedom of adulthood. Nobody is there to weigh you down, tell you how to live your life, and control how you make your decisions.

5. Yes, you will feel sad for maybe a second. Or more. But that's okay. Take this as an opportunity to be excited for what's to come!

I'll admit, there might be a few times during this holiday that I will play some Drake and get into my ultimate feels. Realize this is okay. No, you will not be forever alone with five cats. Your special someone is out there, waiting for you. No rush, you will find him/her.

Now that I have enlightened you on the other side of this beautiful holiday, the singles side, remember to keep your head up and eat all the chocolate. It will be okay. Never forget your self worth and keep on telling yourself that someday you will be happy with someone, but for now just be happy with yourself.

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.
