10 Signs That You Are Adulting
HelloGiggles

Becoming an adult is scary. Why would we want to grow up and take on the responsibly of paying bills, budgeting your money, and working every single day?

1. When you start paying attention to the price on the receipt

The struggle of making little to no money and spending a night out with your friends and praying the bill doesn’t go over your fixed budget of $25.

2. Collecting coupons is now your favorite activity

Those coupons on the end of your CVS receipt are now seen as the holy grail when it comes to shopping. Saving as much money as possible is what matters most. Protect those extra bucks and coupons!

3. When you spend your weekends staying in and drinking wine

Your weekends went from going out and partying to staying in with a glass of wine and watching the perfect chick flick. ( easy A)

4. You have a full-time office job

When you finally get your first adult job that requires you to work 9-5 and also a cubicle to call your own. You start to feel like your important and everything you learned in college is going to pay off.

5. Buying your first car

One of the best accomplishments you could ever complete. Having something to call your own but then releasing you have to pay all the bills that come along with the new ride. But right now buying the car trumps everything that comes with it.

6. Telling your friends your busy, but really pinning on Pinterest

Pinterest in the life you always wanted and one day you truly believe you will get everything on that Pinterest board. Sometimes Pinterest trumps hanging out with friends, because one day you know it will all be worth it when you get at least one thing from the thousand on pins.

7. You find that pubs are way better than clubs

Clubs are overrated, to claustrophobic and too many sloppy drunks. Pubs can be a good time but in a laid-back atmosphere, plus you don’t have to get all dressed up.

8. You start making your own appointments

Your parents no longer have to make your appointments. They don’t have to call and remind you about that doctor’s appointment you have tomorrow. You feel joy & happiness that you accomplished getting to the doctors all by yourself.

9. You make sure your taxes are done

Getting taxes back is like an early Christmas gift. You know that the money you get back will go straight towards the bills you need to pay. Once that is done you hope that there will be money left over to go out with the girls.

10. Your planner becomes your everything

Remember when planners were bought because they looked cute? Yeah, those days are officially over. Nowadays without having that planner, your life would be completely over. That planner has everything from where you need to be when you need to be there and sometimes even remind you what day of the week it is.

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.
