Yikes...that's all I have to say.

20 Ways I'm Not Prepared For Adulthood
Buzzfeed

I try hard to have my life together but in reality,I'm onboard the same struggle bus as the next 20-something. Actually, I think I am probably driving it. If you're reading this, I assume that you also don't really know what to do either. Looks like we're in this together, pal! I mean, I'll get my life right at some point but until then, here's a list of ways I know I'm not ready to embrace adulthood that I think you can relate to as well.

1. I think that photo of the cat is hilarious


2. I spend WAAAY too much money on food.

I believe in treating myself, but my bank account does not. Especially when it's mainly Chick-Fil-A, Moe's, Starbucks, or McDonalds. Those $1 large sweet teas really do add up.

3. I think going to Walmart in a cow onesie is OK.

Or any kind of onesie, footy pajamas, or regular pajamas.

4. Actually, going ANYWHERE in a cow onesie is OK.


I'm not even mad about it.

5. I let my laundry pile build up into an erupting laundry volcano.

You know what I am talking about.

6. I think chips and salsa is a good dinner.

I've definitely had chips and salsa the past 5 days for dinner.

7. I don't drink enough water.


Usually, I just drink a lot of coffee instead.

8. I eat after 9 p.m.

I know it is so bad for me, but sometimes that is only time I am hungry...

9. When she can, my mom still gives me money when I only have $2.37 in my checking account.

My mom is the real MVP.

10. I don't understand how mortgages work. Like, at all.

11. I LOVE pink Moscato.

I just felt all of the real adult women cringe.

12. The concept of "working out and eating right" is foreign.

For now, I stick to eating pasta in my bed and binge-watching "Desperate Housewives."

13. I haven't gotten a "check-up" in like three years...

Scheduling appointments shouldn't be hard. But I mean, I'm alive...so I'm probably fine?

14. I definitely don't have a healthy sleep schedule.

Sometimes I go to bed at 8:00 p.m., and sometimes I go to bed at 4 a.m...I'll probably find a balance eventually.

15. I also don't understand taxes.

Money = foreign language.

16. Touching raw meat makes me want to die.

Good luck future family of mine. I don't know if I'll actually ever grow out of this one.

17. I hit the snooze button at least five times in the morning.

Sometimes, I even set it for earlier than I actually have to wake up just so I can hit the snooze button five times and still have time to get cute in the morning.

18. I still use terms such as "fierce", "totes", "retweet", and "amazeballs".

OK, so I might be the only one that still says 'amazeballs', but you know you relate.

19. When a light comes on in my car, I call my parents to ask what it means and if my car is going to explode or not.

20. When I have a question about literally anything, I just call mom.

Or find the nearest adult to help me figure life out.

As I wait for the magic Adult Fairy to boop me on the noggin with all of this knowledge, you can find me curled up on my couch, Moe's burrito in hand, watching "Fixer Upper" reruns and laughing at the internet.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
