Growing up, all of us just wanted to be adults already. We were sick of nap time, going to school, and being told what to do. Little did any of us know that when we hit 18 years old, all of that was on us. Now, I am sure that we all regret that. Here are seven ways you know that you are "adulting."

1. Making your own appointments

As kids, our parents took care of when our appointments were and what all needed to be done. Now, taking care of your own appointments is a big mess. Trying to fit it in your schedule is probably the hardest part.

2. Money

Do I even need to explain this?

3. Getting up early

Yes, in high school it was easy waking up early. Once you graduate, you go into college thinking, “Yes, I don’t have class until noon, I get to sleep in." Yeah.. no — it’ll feel like that the first semester, but then the second semester, your schedule will flip, and you’ll start getting up at 7 AM.

4. Hooking up cable

Calling Midco to set up your cable is one of the most time-consuming things you’ll go through as you start off your adult life.

5. Realizing that 24 hours in a day is not enough

With school, work, social life, you-time, and eating, you start to notice you don’t have enough time for all of it. So usually when you have a day where you don’t need to do anything, those are the days where you just don’t want to do anything.

6. Making sure you never run out of the things you need

Shampoo and conditioner, hand soap, and tide pods are just some of the things that go by so fast that you just must always keep going out and making those purchases.

7. Your social life becomes nonexistent

You know you have no social life when your friends stop asking you to hang out because you are always busy.

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.
