20 Things You Think When You're In Your 20s

1. Where did all my money go?

Anyone can relate to this, but when you're a twenty-something and you don't have a 'real' job and you aren't a 'real' adult... the struggle is extra real.

2. Ooh, man, I need some coffee.

What's a millennial without their accompanying latte in hand?

3. Ugh, bills. Mom, can you help me pay for this?

Let's be honest, we all want our parents to help us pay for things for as long as possible.

4. Time for (class/work)... why am I doing this to myself?

We all have to remind ourselves from time to time the reasons why we are going to school or work every single day. You gotta remember your end goal!

5. *looks at clock: 7:30 a.m.* ewwww it's too early...

... Especially after a late night binge-watching Netflix.

6. How do I do this? I should ask a grown-up. Oh... wait

.

How weird is it that we're the grown-ups? We don't know what's going on??

7. I'm so tired... time for some coffee.

For when you hit that 3 p.m. slump. If you haven't acquired a taste for coffee at this point in your life, you should acknowledge and accept the fact that the need for caffeine will only increase with age. You better figure something out.

8. Finally home! Time to watch Netflix...

*Clicking through* "seen it... seen it... ooh, another Netflix Original?"

9. *gets a thousand emails from Turbo Tax* How do I do my taxes?

Does anyone really know??

10. I wanna get a dog. Could I take care of a dog?

When was the last time you showered? Have you eaten anything healthy today? How long has it been since you’ve done your laundry?

11. I wonder what's on Instagram today...

We just want to look at pictures of other people's beautiful lives, alright? Don't judge us.

12. *Checks bank account* $16?! Where did all my money go?

Let's be honest... you know you've spent a fair amount of your paycheck on all those $5 lattes.

13. I've already had four cups of coffee today... what's one more?

Back to back classes? Late night shifts? Trying to have a social life? Trying to enjoy being young while also trying to be a professional adult that earns enough money to travel? Yep, we all feel that.

14. I wanna go to Europe. And South America. And to California. And I wanna see the Grand Canyon. And I wanna go to a music festival. And go on adventures. I need money.

Relatable.

15. Time to track my Amazon package.

Arrived? That's a great feeling.

16. Ooh, what a cool wall mural! I need a picture.

If it isn't on Instagram...did it even happen?

17. Ooh, I just got a text! Oh, it's from my dentist.

Of course it is. You see your dentist as often as you see most of your family.

18. *Opens fridge* I'm so hungry... there's no food. I should really go grocery shopping...

Let's be honest, you're just gonna order a pizza again instead of cooking.

19. $2 Margs tonight! Let's get lit!

The only kind of splurging you can afford.

20. What's the wifi password?

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.
