5 Reasons Adulting Sucks

Being an adult comes with a lot of responsibility and often times those responsibilities aren't very pleasant.

We all wanted to be an adult at some point in time, except for when that time is being an adult. Here are a few things that led you to expressing your true feelings for being an adult.

5. Laundry.


Doing your own laundry, let alone having to fold it gives you every reason to regret hitting that golden age of 18. You let the clothes build up in piles before actually getting to it, waiting for someone to walk in to your room and just do it for you. But you remember you're an adult now and it's no longer mom and dad's responsibility.

4. Having a job.

Getting a job, but still you're always broke. Yeah, a job sounded good at first, but they never told you that you'd be working for free. Am I right?

3. Eating.

Having to decide which meal is important and which one is OK to skip, because A.) not enough food in refrigerator or B.) not enough money or C.) both.


2. Paying for gas.

When you love to drive your and go to places far, far away, but have this animosity when you have to put gas in the car.

1. Bills.

This one I'm pretty sure every adult can agree on: bills. Every month they come and every time you hate it.

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.
