16 Things Blondes Are Tired Of Hearing

Please hold your blonde joke.

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.


1. "Is Elle Woods your spirit animal?"

She could be, but who doesn’t love a self-driven woman with an ambitious mindset to destroy a man, but I digress.

2. "Is that your natural hair color?"

So funny you asked! Actually, my hair is dirty blonde but platinum blonde seems more fitting for me.

3. "Oh wow, you get good grades at school?"

Yes, when I’m not dying my hair I’ll take the occasional trip to the library …

4. "You must really like the color pink!"

Hmmm, think what you want, but black more or less suits me since it matches my soul.

5. "You’re probably not into sports, right?"

*Watches football*

“What inning is this?!”

LOL, just kidding; I’m very into sports and I know the difference between them.

6. "You must have such a bubbly personality."

If you count having a resting bitch face and being completely unapproachable as I hide behind my sunglasses "bubbly," then yes, I have a bubbly personality.

7. "Your wardrobe must consist of all things preppy."

Maybe it would if I was vacationing in Nantucket for the summer; however, I probably own more workout apparel than anything.

8. "What sorority are you in?"

*Rolls eyes so far that they get stuck in the back if your head*

9. "You were probably a cheerleader in high school."

Actually, I played soccer and ran track.

10. "You look like you’re from L.A. because your hair is so light."

I didn’t know geographic locations were defined by hair color! News to me …

11. "You definitely like Pumpkin Spiced Lattes from Starbucks!"

Wrong — you picked the wrong stereotype to assume. I’m a regular at Starbucks thank you very much.

12. "Do you actually think blondes have more fun?"

Probably.

13. "You must encompass the typical “white girl” stereotype."

And if I do…?

14. "Is that daddy’s credit card you’re using?"

No, it’s mine! I work hard for the money.

15. "So all of your friends are blonde too?"

Maybe if they came to the salon with me to dye their hair they would be.

16. "I’m surprised about you; I thought you would be a lot ditsier."

I’m surprised about you, too! I thought you would be a lot smarter.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
