To You, With Love

Dear Best Friend,

There's nothing better than having a special person you can tell anything to and never grow tired of, even if you spend every waking minute together for a long period of time. There's something so comforting in knowing that you have someone like that. I'm lucky enough to say that I do, and that's you. There have been people in my life that I've called "best friend" but were never no where near what we have. We've traveled together, laughed together, cried together, and we've done stupid things together. Thank you for being there for me. Those people who I thought were there for me gave me a reason to appreciate you more, and I'm so grateful for that. Thank you for loving me despite all of my imperfections and annoying tendencies. I'm impatient, over dramatic, and just a serious pain in the butt sometimes, and through it all, you continue to stay by my side without complaining. On that note, not only do you bear through my flaws, but you never feel afraid to put me in my place if something is wrong. When something needs to be confronted, you've never failed to do so. Not only do you confront, but you allow yourself to be confronted when I find something to be wrong. What a joy it is to find a friend that does that. It's so rare, yet such a blessing. Thank you for staying up late just to talk to me about my pointless problems. There are bigger things to concern ourselves with, yet you still take the time to hear me and help me. Thank you for always looking out for me around other people. When someone says something negative, you're always the first to defend me. People can be mean sometimes, but I know for a fact that you've always had and always will have my back. Thank you for understanding my weirdness and letting me tag you in stupid, pointless crap on social media without complaining or thinking I'm totally insane. Thank you for giving me a place to be happy when I'm with you. And for not ever making me feel unwanted, sad, or like a burden. You always give me a place to be comfortable and myself, and it's a joy to know I have someone like that. Thank you for standing by my side regardless of how crazy I sound, but also thank you for pointing out my incorrectness the other times I sound crazy.

I hope you understand how much you mean to me. There's never been another person to love and understand me the way you do. God places people on this Earth specifically for every individual, and I do believe He made you to be my best friend; and I am so, so grateful.

Dear best friend, here's to the many more years to come with you by my side.

To You, With Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
