Things You Do To Make Believe You Have Your Life Together

We all like to believe we're real life adults, but lets face it, we still rely on our mothers to make our doctors appointments.

Things You Do To Make Believe You Have Your Life Together

It's no secret, adulting is hard, but pretending to be an adult is a breeze! You do it on a daily basis effortlessly. So well, in fact, that some people think you actually have your life together.

Let's see here, so...

You own multiple pairs of workout pants and sports bras

Except they’re all from Victoria’s Secret and you only own them because they’re cute, not because you ever actually work out in them

You carry a planner with you

But everything you write in it is either a party or bottomless mimosas for Sunday brunch

You plan a bunch of productive activities to do throughout the day

And that list quickly turns into lunch, nap, post-lunch snack, pre-dinner snack, nap, dinner, bar

You do the dishes

Only because there are none left in the cabinet and paper plates cost money


You organized your desk space

But have never actually sat at it and done any work

You donate your old clothes to Good Will

Only because Plato’s Closet didn’t take them and you’re too lazy to post them all on resale apps


You come up with unique and surprisingly tasty recipes

Because nothing in your cabinet is really supposed to be combined together but you’re not scared of thinking outside the box if it saves a trip to the grocery store

You hang all of your clothes in the closet instead of throwing them on the floor

Because they can’t be wrinkly when you re-wear them for the 4th time without washing them

You own plants

Even though they’re all succulents that don’t require any attention to stay alive

You buy produce often

but don’t eat it fast enough because fast food somehow always finds its way in

You make it to all of your important appointments on time

hair, nails, brows…priorities.

You’re easy to get in contact with

because your iPhone doesn’t leave your hand

You attend a Yoga class

Once a month so that you can justify all of your "good vibes" decor

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.

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.
