How are People Getting Engaged When I Can't Even Pick an Ice Cream Flavor?

How are People Getting Engaged When I Can't Even Pick an Ice Cream Flavor?

It's that time of the year where every time I open Facebook, someone is engaged. For some reason everyone decided it is the proper time to settle down with one person for the rest of their lives. I truly applaud these people for committing to a person like this. Clearly, they are bigger adults that I will ever be. Here are a few examples of how I am obviously not adult enough for a engagement.


People are picking the person to spend the rest of their lives with but I can barely pick between Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream versus Half Baked. (I normally get both since I can never decide).

In fact, people are getting married and I am still learning how to control how much ice cream I eat on a daily basis.


I don't know how to file my taxes.

I probably couldn't tell the difference between a $100 bottle of wine and a $10 bottle.

Speaking of which, I wouldn't even want to fathom spending $100 on a bottle of wine. Let alone $50.


I can barely make simple decisions, let alone decide who I will wake up to every morning until I die.

How are these people calling wedding planners when I can barely call the bank without panicking?

Speaking of money, where is that "just got out of college and I'm really broke phase"?

When I get an email regarding FAFSA, I automatically forward it to my mom.


I literally watched The Princess Diaries last week because I'm still a child.

I also knew all of the words and cried with Michael kissed Mia.

Life partner...I don't even know what I'm doing for the rest of my life.

I still think sleeping until noon on a Saturday is perfectly okay. It's not just a teenage phase, it's my life.

I nap. A lot.


Cooking for a family? Yeah, I still think peanut butter and jelly is a solid meal.

I occasionally take those Facebook quizzes to determine the initials of my future husband. That's true love.

People are getting engaged and I can barely get a boy to text me back.

I also misinterpret those "ok" versus "okay" texts from boys.

Speaking of boys, I get annoyed with them so easily that I really cannot imagine being with one of them for the next 60 years.


Sometimes, if I send a text to someone but I don't want to see their response, I'll block their texts from coming for an hour so I never get the text.

I really don't understand how people are planning on getting married/getting a place together because I can barely pack my clothes for school every year without freaking out.

I still watch trashy MTV shows.

Going to a doctor's appointment by myself is the most adult thing I've done all week. Not exactly getting a marriage license.

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?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
