What is adulting? How did we come to it? No one ever truly explained how difficult it was going to be when it came to the daily struggle of growing up. Here are a few struggles of adulting that we have all felt.

1. When you have to start wearing real people pants.

2. When you need to now commute to your real world job.

3. When you have to figure out what health insurance is. And how to get it?

4. When you have to make your own doctor appointments.

5. When you have to get out of bed at a unreasonable time for work.

12. When you finally check your bank balance after a week of avoiding it.

13. When you have to figure out how to make friends in the “real world."

14. When you feel good about your finances until you remember your student loans are a real thing.

15. When you attempt to infuse some structure into your day, but then you realize that's just not going to happen.

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.

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.
