As this article publishes i'll officially be 25. Truthfully I don't know how to take that, but I can't change it so why not embrace it. I'm thankful to see another year and I'm blessed with all that the Lord has continuously provided.

With that said here are 25 thoughts I currently have as I go into year 25 of my life.

1. Wait, isn't 25 halfway to 50?

Oh man. What a milestone age.

2. But when did I stop solely watching Disney Channel and start watching HGTV?

Tbh, I still watch and record Disney movies. I don't think that'll ever change.

3. How am I a quarter of a century?!

Why am I thinking about this?

4. When will I learn how to cook?

First I need to learn patience in the kitchen.

5. Wasn't I 19 like two days ago?

It definitely sure feels like it.

6. When I was 16 the age 25 just seemed so grown and adult like, but right now I still feel 16.

Ugh, time would ya just slow down?

7. I totally still call my mom on the regular and ask her about silly things I don't have to.

"Mom, I know I am married and live six hours away now, but do you think it's okay for me to splurge on this purchase or go on this trip?"

8. Why is everyone asking when I'm going to have kids?

I have heard this more in the last few weeks than ever before.

9. But how did I ever think when I was 16 that I'd have two kids by now?

God's timing is wayyy better than my own.

10. I wonder how my mom felt at this age?

Brb, calling mom.

11. When will I feel like a grown up?

But is it bad if I don't want to feel like one?

12. When will I learn how to grocery shop?

Props to my husband for being the OG and taking over that.

13. My DVR is filled with Hallmark movies...

but I watched Hallmark as a teenager as well.

14. That feeling of finally being out of the Youth age at church and now being apart of the Young Adult

Now this is much better than I had imagined. I'm surrounded by some of the best people I have ever met.

15. I may be 25, but being told I look like i'm 20 or 21 brings me joy.

Maybe when I am 50 i'll look 30 like my mom!

16. How am I only on number 16...

What a lengthy listicle.

17. I have the emotions of a 16 year old.

I can be as dramatic as one too.

18. At 18 I THOUGHT I was grown.

I never thought I'd admit that I wasn't.

19. I'm currently watching a Hallmark love movie and it's the best.

I could lay in bed all day doing this. #noregrets

20. In the beautiful voice of Rapunzel, "When will my life begin?"

I really just wanted to include Disney in this.

21. I remember the age 21.

HOW WAS THAT FOUR YEARS AGO.

22. Hey, I'm legally able to rent a car.

Now I am laughing because my husband still can't.

23. I wonder how Britney Spears felt at the age of 23.

#Britneyforever

24. I have some of the greatest friends and family who have supported me for 25 years.

God blessed me abundantly with them and I don't think I'd be the same without them.

25. I am so excited to see what the Lord is going to do through me at age 25.

I'm fully surrendering myself to Him and trusting in Him wholly.

Halfway through this list I had no idea how timely it'd be. I'm so grateful for 25 beautiful years filled with lessons, trials, joy, and love. I'm ready for you year 25.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
