You Don't Have To Like Her

You Don't Have To Like Her

Recently Oprah Winfrey, yes THE Oprah, endorsed Hilary Clinton by saying, "You don't have to like her!" Oprah explained that voting for Hilary is not an invitation for her to come over for dinner, but it is the right choice to make. If you like this country, you must vote and vote correctly.

This is the first time Oprah has vocally endorsed the Democratic candidate and she did so in an interview with a pastor. She explained her support for the candidate as, "“She’s not coming over to your house! You don’t have to like her." “You don’t have to like her. Do you like this country? Do you like this country? You better get out there and vote. Do you like the country? Do you like freedom and liberty? Do you like this country? OK. Do you like democracy or do you want a demagogue?" It is clear that Oprah does not stomach the thought of Donald Trump as President and she is right- you don't have to like her.

The election of the President of the United States should not be a popularity contest. You don't have to like Hilary Clinton as a person. You can hate her hair, her laugh and her pantsuits, but you have to realize that she has the knowledge, the background and the qualifications to run this country, even if it is only for four years until we find someone better to do the job. You don't have to have a sit down conversation with her, ever. You just have to put your support and your vote towards her and help this country escape the possibility of a Trump presidency.

Just like Oprah Winfrey, you don't have to agree with every idea Clinton has, but you have to admit she is at least reasonable when she comes with ideas. Hilary Clinton does not plan on deporting millions or building a fortress around the "land of the free." At the end of the day, there really isn't any choice. You do not have to like her, just be reasonable with your vote.

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.
