Buzzfeed

I'm young, you're young, we just finished college or we got kicked out into this cold and cruel world known as "Adulthood." I mean, c'mon... It sucks. There's all of this hate-mail you get demanding money, NOBODY smiles at you anymore, and there's always an alarm clock going off somewhere so you can wake up and go to work. What is this nonsense?

Anyways, here's 50 thoughts New Adults have literally every day! (Aka Me. Seriously. This is basically about me, and what my mind thinks about this CRAP!) Also, Liz Lemon is basically my twin, so like... As told by Liz Lemon... or whatever.

1. What do you mean, "insufficient funds"?

2. How long will Wells Fargo let me keep my Student Account?

3. Why does NOBODY offer Student Discounts around here?!

4. Ugh, I'm not feeling good.

5. Oh shit... What if I get sick?

6. What if it's something serious?

7. Will my insurance cover this?

22. WOOOOOOO PAYDAYYYYYYYYY

23. Dammit...

24. Oooooo, TJMaxx has new seasonal items!!!

29. I don't think my car should smoke like that?

30. Mom's GOT to know...

31. Student Discount?!

32. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY "insufficient funds"?!

34. What is an "over draft" fee and why is it so damn expensive?!

35. "MOM... what does this mean?!"

36. I need a better job, I never have money!

37. Ooooo look a sale!

38. ... DAMMITTTTT!

39. Okay, I'm buying a damn Swiffer and mopping that floor!

46: That reminds me, I need to sneak over to mom's and do laundry.

47: I wonder if that Chinese place has a Groupon?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
