12 Life Lessons From Jenna Marbles To Help You With 'Adulting'
Jenna Marbles

We all know and love Jenna Marbles: YouTuber, dog mom and professional drunk artist. Most may know her from her video "How to Trick People Into Thinking You're Good Looking," which has 65 million views.

Jenna arrived onto the pop culture scene as a hero to outspoken ladies. She showed the world that yes, girls can use swear words, say what's on their mind and talk about bodily functions. Don't deny it, burps will always be funny.

Along with making us laugh, Jenna has taught us many valuable life lessons. The YouTuber (who currently has 15 million subscribers on the video-sharing site) has taken her viewers with her through the navigation of her years as a twenty-something.

1. Food is a girl's best friend.

Got in a fight with your significant other? Time for a Taco Bell run.

2. Be honest about how you're feeling.

It's better to say how you're really feeling than to just fake a smile. Honesty really is the best policy.

3. The reality of girl crushes.

It is completely OK and normal for straight girls to admire other girls.
Your butt is fantastic. What workouts do you do?
How did you get your eyeshadow to look like that?
Can I have some of your boobs?

4. Practical ways to apply makeup.

Who was time to perfectly align a sharp contour? Just move your face and brush around. Your foundation will all end up in the same place eventually.

5. The importance of embracing your goofy side.

Being serious all of the time is absolutely draining. Let your silly freak flag fly, girl.

6. What to say when you're running late.


7. Growing up really sucks.

Adulting is tough, my friends.
What is a 401K?
How do I pay bills?
How do I schedule doctor's appointments??

8. Be realistic with your workout goals.

9. Keep your friends close and your pets closer.

Dogs truly are a (wo)man's best friend.

10. That massive messy bun on top of your head is a hairstyle that needs to be avoided.

No. Just no. Take a few extra minutes and put that bun on the back of your head.

11. Keep your friends close.

Friends, family and your pets (of course) are all you've got. No matter how busy your life may get, always make time for your friends.

12. Most importantly, what to do when you want to avoid conversation with someone.


Is someone you had a horrible date with trying to strike up a conversation with you? Just make the face. They should be out of your hair in no time.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
