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

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
