Picture this: Finals are over, school is out, you are home from college, summer is in full swing, you finally get to get a full eight hours of sleep. Your parents are curious people, they need to make up for the time when you were gone. These questions and statements might be too relatable.

This article was written purely out of humor. I love my 'rents

1. "Why did you go to bed so late last night?"

First of all, I went to be at 11, that's early. Second, at school, I went to bed like never.

2. "Why don't you go outside and get some fresh air?"

OK, yeah, well it's 8 a.m., did you plan on helping me drag my bed outside?

3. "No plans today? Where are all of your friends?"

First of all, once again, it is 8 a.m., they're probably all sleeping.

4. *Has same work schedule every week and goes to work at the same time each day* "You have work today? What time?"

Can't even count how many times I've gotten this one. I might start putting notifications in my mom's cell phone.

5. "It's 10 p.m.! You're just going out now?!"

If I was back at school, I'd probably just be showering and getting ready to go out, this, the time right now, is record time.

6. "When is the last time you ate all 5 food groups? You're going to get sick!"

Honestly, what even are the 5 food groups? Because all I know is


7.*Wakes up at 11 a.m., walks downstairs* "OH! Good afternoon!"

I admire the sarcasm.

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.
