Kids seem to get away with everything they possibly can, whether its somehting as innocent as picking up random bugs, or something as weird as shoving random things up their nose. We, as adults, can't get away with these things sadly. But here are 17 things that kids can get away with, that we cant!

1. Spitting out food when you don't like it.

Or storing it in your cheeks like a hamster instead of chewing it. Just swallow, it'll be okay.

2. Just eating the pieces you like and leaving the rest.

You will be silently judged.

3. Picking up random bugs you see.

You might be inclined to stop, but the person you're with would probably rather keep walking.

4. Eating Play-doh.

It was so salty and soft, but it's made for hands, not eating.

5. Sticking random things up your nose.

It's generally frowned upon, and that pea belongs in your mouth, not your nose.

6. Falling asleep where you want, whenever you want.

It's not as cute when you're an adult, asleep at a table with drool coming out of your mouth. always. plan. your. naps.

7. Asking "why" whenever you don't understand something.

We rather just know than to keep asking over and over.

8. Treating your skin like a canvas.

you can't just pretend to be a tiger whenever you feel like it anymore.

9. Eating food off of the floor.

We have to pretend like we abide by the "five-second rule."

10. Covering your hands in glue, waiting for it to dry, and then rejoice in peeling it off.

Ok, you've probably done this at least once in your adult years.

11. Wearing clothes inside out.

On a college campus, you could probably get away with this. An office atmosphere? not so much.

12. Drawing bad pictures of people and having them claim you're Picasso.

It's harder to earn a spot on the fridge now.

13. Throwing a tantrum when you can't get something at the store.

You have these annoying things called self-awareness and embarrassment.

14. Throwing a tantrum because you didn't get your way.

Refer to number 13 above.

15. Hanging around in clothes covered in stains.

It's like were expected to be clean or something all the time.

16. Getting overly excited when you get offered fruit snacks and juice.

You can't act like you haven't seen food or water in days.

17. Being obnoxiously loud.

It's not as cute when you yell everything you say.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
