13 Signs That You're A Hot Mess
Storypick

If you live your life in a near-constant state of disarray and shambles, it’s a pretty good indication that you need to get your life (and self) together a little bit. Being a hot mess is a lifestyle—one that comes with a lot of confusion, laundry detergent, and ā€œbe there in five!ā€ texts. Hopefully, we’ll grow out of our old habits by the time we reach ā€œadulthoodā€ but for now, congratulations on managing to scrape by.

Here are 13 signs that you’re living life as a true hot mess:

1. You have to set 10 alarms so that you can sleep through nine of them.

Class at 10? Better set alarms for 7:00, 7:15, 7:30, 7:45, 8:00 and 8:15.


2. None of your devices ever seem to be fully charged.

"Do you have a charger? I know it's 9 a.m., but I'm on 20%."


3. All of your white clothes have coffee stains on them.

R.I.P. to all of the ruined shirts that now sit in my closet.


4. You swipe away most of the notifications on your phone… including the important ones.

"Sorry for not texting you back... I saw your message pop up, then forgot about it completely."


5. Tripping yourself with your other foot because you’re *that* coordinated.

I'm fine. We're good.


6. You’ve made yourself a list of stuff you have to do (that inevitably won’t get done).

Go grocery shopping? Apply for internships? No chance.


7. Regardless of what time you leave, you’ll always arrive a minute late.

Unfortunately, we can't all be the Queen of Genovia.


8. Obsessing over TV shows and movies, yet forgetting basic characters and plotlines.

If I tell you I went to go see a movie, good luck trying to get me to remember what happened.


9. Somehow, you’re always *kinda* sick.

Which also means that your backpack always jingles with the sound of allergy meds and Nasonex.


10. You put stuff away for safe keeping… and then forget where you put it.

Oops.


11. Knowing you know people, but also being incapable of placing their face or name.

You've mastered the greeting-while-carefully-omitting-name game.


12. Your hamper is a weird conglomerate of clean, dirty, and ā€œI only wore it once.ā€

Let's be honest, you're just happy that your clothes are in a hamper and not the floor.


13. Being absolutely incapable of creating (or sticking to) a healthy sleep schedule, and bitching about it when you’re a hot mess all over again the next day.

Keep on shining, superstar.

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.
