When we're little we all just want to be adults instead, but when you actually become an adult, you wish you were a kid again. See if you've hit adulthood by checking off these 12 things that might have crossed your mind.

1. Feeling good with having more than like $20 to live off of until the next paycheck 

We're broke, like all the time.

2. Opening up a full fridge...with leftovers 

Alll the heart eyes for this.

3. Canceling plans you didn't want to do anyway for a night in 

I mean, why leave your cozy place?

4. Having your own possessions that aren't your parents'

It's allll mine!

5. You and your friends live in various places 

This is one of the worst parts about growing up, but at least you'll have road trips to look forward to.

6. It seems like all of your friends are getting married or engaged 

*fake barfs*

7. You won't let anyone or anything get in the way of your goals 

Sorry, but there's a lot of sh*t to do.

8. You ask your parents for advice over your friends 

They truly are older and wiser.

9. You start saving money because wow, you have nothing 

There's a future out there, and you'd like to have enough money to enjoy it.

10. You say "ah, screw it" like 3 times a day 

Life at this point is just one lump of wingin' it.

11. Your bedtime could be 9 p.m. or 2 a.m. depending on the day

The in-between adult life can bring long nights out or long nights in.

12. The value of family means more to you now 

It's a pretty sweet thing.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
