Being an adult can be a bit stressful at times. OK, maybe super stressful. But do you ever think about how easy you had it years, and years ago? No matter how hard it was growing up and learning what life had to throw at us, we all relate to a global scale, and that is, childhood was the easiest time of our lives.

Today, I will enlighten you on 10 relatable examples on how childhood is way better than adulthood.

1. No one ever judges you, you're a kid for God's sake.

Getting caught picking your nose as a kid might ruin your day. But being caught picking your nose as an adult will ruin your life.


2. You never have to hunt your own food.

Having provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner could be compared to the luxury we all dream about: basically having personal butlers and a team of home chefs.


3. The world WANTS you to sleep.

The forced naps we all fought, cried over, and took for granted will always be the cornerstone of our daydreams at the office.


4. No one needs your help with anything. What can you do? You're a little kid.

According to adult, about all you can do is be dumb, moody, and weak. People thought we were good for nothing, but now we need to pull out all the excuses...or burn all the bridges.



5. The only reason you need money is for that hot new toy!

We didn't need as much to keep us happy. The crap-painted-and-made-in-Hell "toy" from the dollar store not only kept us busy and happy, it made our day, it...until it broke the following morning.

 


6. Say something stupid? Don't be ashamed; adults think it's funny.

No matter how sure you think you are as a kid, you're wrong. And the adults won't be mad or hold grudges for it––They will laugh at your face and make you famous on YouTube.
Kids say the darnedest things.


7. The only work in your life is homework, and c'mon, it's 2 + 2.

It wouldn't matter if you just weren't feeling it. You might get yelled at, but it's perfectly fine if you "just didn't want to do it today."

Unlike a real job.


8. No matter how badly you screw up, the worst you'll get is a spanking or time to relax in your room all day.

No police, no prison. Even if you murdered someone, they might just have you say "sorry" to the family. Just make sure you never do it again, okay?

*Rustles your hair* Okay, now go play.


9. Your little hands will never be trapped in a can of Pringles.

It was the one thing you could do that no adult could. You're totally above everyone!


10. Responsibilities in the life of a child are all of none.

Kick back, relax and grab the popcorn.

Watch your parents stress about all the responsibilities they have to go through to keep you alive!

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.
