You Are Right Where You Are Supposed To Be

Stop worrying, you are headed in the right direction.

You Are Right Where You Are Supposed To Be
Angela DeGenova

Have you ever had that feeling of pure happiness? You're surrounded by friends, blasting music, and driving around. The world seems silent like it's just you are driving through it. You know you're stressed and there is a lot going on in your life, but for this one moment none of that matters and everything is calm and okay. You forget your worries and just sit there and smile-Smile for no reason. You're just happy and for a second you realize everything is going to be okay and work out. You don’t want this night to end because you don’t want to fall back into reality.

Those are the moments I live for because they are a reminder that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be.

Life really is not all that complicated; we just seem to make it more difficult than it really is. Everything is not going to be perfect all the time and that is okay. We are young; we are going to live and make mistakes. We are going to get let down and be hurt, but what we have to remember is that none of this will matter in a few years. You will grow from every experience in your life, whether it be good or bad. We have to stop stressing and worrying over little things because they may seem like a big deal now but they won't in the future.

We are uncomfortable when our life is not going as planned or we face an obstacle. People do not like the idea of things not going perfectly. Yet, we have to learn to accept these difficulties we face during our lifetime because that is just how life is.

So drive around blasting music with your friends at night, go to parties, cry on the bathroom floor, and scream when your mad. Just live. Live it all and stop wishing the days away because you are right where you are supposed to be and maybe you can't see that right now, but you are. You are on the right path and all of these experiences are just preparing you for who you are supposed to become and the future you, so just continue to live it and enjoy it all.

A few years from now you'll look back on all of this. You will remember all of the moments that you thought you couldn't keep going. You will remember the breakup that you thought you would never get over, and the friends you thought you wouldn't lose. You'll remember it all and you will realize you should have never been so worried about life back then, because it was simple and you got past it. You were right where you were supposed to be all along.

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.
