I've often referred to college as my personal, very expensive safety blanket.

As lovely as that is, it is also the weirdest time in your life and I feel like no one really addresses this. I mean, Lorde kind of did in Melodrama, but when you're a prodigy, it doesn't matter as much and then you have bigger issues to tackle.

Young adulthood is an odd a place to be at. This is the time of your life when you have more of a choice to be whatever you want to be, and this is also consequently the time of your life that makes or breaks you --or tends to.

I think that we put too much stress on ourselves at this age.

We think that we have to build Rome in a day, when in fact, we don't. We think that we have to build our whole lives immediately. Yes, you should totally pick a track to go down and lay an ambitious foundation for yourself, but not every minor detail is going to break your entire life.

We put a lot of pressure on ourselves at this in-between stage of our lives because this is like a bridge between what our life is and what it could be. Which is totally fascinating and completely soaked in anxiety.

I think that it should give us all a certain amount of solace to know that no one really knows what they are actually doing. Even the most adult of adults don't have it all together. And that's okay. As we get older I think that we just know how to handle the rollercoaster of things a little better.

For this graduation season specifically, let this be a very special reminder that it is okay to not have it completely together, it is alright to admit that you don't have all of the answers you think that you're supposed to have, and your life doesn't end over the little mistakes.

And even so, it is those exact mistakes that have the tendency to make life a little more interesting, or even a lot better than you would have thought.

The in-between of your life was made for learning, so seize the opportunity when you have the chance to take life for a ride.
