We are ecstatic that you're getting married, honestly! It's really adorable to see how happy you are together and see the amazingly cheesy engagement photos....and then the other 17 that you've decided to post because "they were too cute not to!" We agree, it is very cute, but please we don't need to see you, your significant other and your ring 30 times on our news feed. We don't need to be put through that torture. You were in our shoes once, remember? Last engagement season? Weren't you also complaining about the high volume of rings?

Okay, so you don't remember? Let me jog your memory. Engagement season is that happy time of year that everyone is filled with good cheer and holiday spirit, it's a time that everyone realizes what they're thankful for and who they want to get the most thoughtful gift for. That get's people thinking! Man, I'm willing to spend this much or do this sweet of a thing for someone? I must really like them. Hell, maybe even love them. Maybe...just maybe...I love them enough to marry them AND that could be my Christmas gift!

Do you remember now? Thought so. Don't look at us like that. We're just reminding you what it feels like to be on the other side of the screen. I promise you that we are so, so, SO happy for you! Everyone deserves to have their moments of pure, unadulterated bliss on Facebook and in life, but just remember we can't share in your bliss for every single photo. The first few? Okay, sure, the happy couple is gorgeous! But can you let it rest now and just wait until the next set of photos to rub it in our faces?

....Okay...maybe we are a little jealous. You look deliriously happy and then we forget what it's like to be so happy in love that you want to shout out to the rooftops or share it endlessly on Facebook as if to say "LOOK WHO I CONVINCED TO MARRY ME HAHA." While we're on the other end finding the stupidest reasons to be unhappy for you. We think the ring is ugly. Those photos were too cheesy. The couple is way too young. I've actually seen them fight so much, omg.

We're sorry we put a damper on your engagement photos and posts. We forget what it's like to be excited like that sometimes. Just like you forget what it's like to have to see a couple be much happier than what you think you are at this very moment.

Congratulations. Happy Engagement!

(Please stop reminding us every week with a new photo from your engagement session.)

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!
