In This Article:

Technically we all become adults when we turn eighteen, but nobody is really an adult at that point. As we grow up and move closer to real adulthood, some things start to happen. When I talked to my friends, we came up with these ten things that made us all realize that we are slowly but surely becoming real adults.

1. Buying a new sponge makes you way too happy.

So fresh. So clean.

2. You actually use a grocery list.

You no longer stroll the aisles searching for whatever looks good at the moment. You know what you need, and you're going to get it.

3. You have a CVS card under your own phone number.

I strut out of CVS every time they ask me if I have a rewards card and I give them my number instead of my mom's.

4. You separate your laundry between whites and colors.

Okay, I'll be honest. I don't do this. Everything goes in one machine, and I just hope for the best.

5. Your make your bed every morning.

Giphy

There's nothing like sliding into sheets that are actually tucked in.

6. You buy salad dressing that isn't ranch.

Did I text my mom to tell her I bought Italian dressing instead of Ranch? You better believe it.

7. BOGO deals are your new best friend.

i don't really need two of these, but it's too good to resist!

8. Your body hurts everywhere all the time.

Do my knees, hips, ankles, elbows, and back crack every time I move? Yes. Yes they do.

9. You want to go to sleep early.

You want to go out at 10 pm? Sorry but my bed time is 9.

10. You say things like "back in my day" and "when I was a kid".

Back in my day, Zac Efron was known as Troy Bolton, not the guy from The Greatest Showman.

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.
