Becoming An Adult As Told By Friends

It hasn't been my day, my week, my month or even my year.

Becoming An Adult As Told By Friends

I just turned 19 and can already say adult life can be extremely stressful. While watching Friends, I can totally relate to the struggles of becoming an adult.


1. When you have so many responsibilities but deciding to take multiple unnecessary breaks.

Sure, I have so many things to do, but that bath is calling my name. AND maybe I'll take a nap afterward.



2. Telling your friends and family that you're fine even though you've had 5 mental breakdowns this week.




A slight inconvenience happened, why would I bother them with my hyperventilating and panic attacks?



3. When one of your friends comes to you for advice.

I don't do advice very well. And honestly, other people's emotions make me uncomfortable. Sarcasm is more my department.



4. Debating if you should go work out.

When a friend asks me if I want to work out, I think about how awesome I will look if I do, but my couch and junk food are calling my name.



5. Talking to a fellow adult who has their life together.

While they are thriving in the world, I'm sitting in the corner anxiety-ridden trying to plan my next move.



6. When having people over...

Do you want something to drink? What about food? Do you need a refill?


7. When having people over part 2...

Take your shoes off. Don't touch that. Wash your hands after you go to the bathroom.


8. Getting ready to eat when your boyfriend looks at you with puppy dog eyes.


This is my food. I've worked hard for this food! I've waited for this food!


9. When family members ask you what you plan to do with the rest of your life.

I don't even know what I'm going to have for dinner, Aunt Susan.


10. Seeing others moving on with their lives while you stay in the same place.

All your friends are having all these great opportunities while you're just trying to get through life one day at a time.

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.
