18 Times You Realized You Were Not Ready To Adult

We're all growing up, and adulthood is too close for comfort. You feel the onset of paranoia as you begin to realize that your time as an adult is approaching all too quickly. You begin to pay attention to some things that seem necessary to survival as an adult, and realize that you are totally not ready to "Adult."

1. When you hear someone mention taxes


2. You think about scheduling appointments, and decide that you can probably go without seeing a doctor, forever.


3. You see a commercial for phone plans, and don't understand any of it, at all.


4. Literally anything about banking confuses you.










5.You hear adults talking about a party, and have to remind yourself that it was definitely not the kind of party you were thinking about.


6.You see someone near your age in the grocery store, shopping for themselves and feel a knot in your stomach.


7. You go on Facebook, see a high school classmate is either engaged/pregnant, and feel nauseous.


8. Someone asks you what you want to do after college, and you still don't have a great answer.

9. A button falls off your shirt onto the floor, and you just stare at it, not completely sure what to do.


10. Trying to understand car payments.


11. You hear your parents talking about house payments and bills, and have to run away.


12. Insurance??


13. Someone asks for your opinion on a serious topic, and you realize they expect a serious answer.


14. You realize you should really get a handle on your nervous laughter.


15. You begin to think that you should get some adult hobbies, like crochet or chess.


16. Your lunch conversations with friends focus more on politics and social issues


17. You have a miniature panic attack when you think of living on your own.


18. Adulting seems like a lot more work than it's worth, so you decide to ignore your impending doom.

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.
