Whether you're a senior in college dreading the adult world, or are already supposed to be 'adulting,' there's a few signs indicating you aren't ready to grow up. Here it goes!

1. Your kitchen table looks like this:


2. You need 27 alarms to get up every morning.

3. Sweats count as an outfit.

4. Naps are necessary to get through the day.

5. Your cabinets are filled with paper plates and red solo cups.

6. Most of the pictures on your phone are either of you and friends partying or cat memes.

7. Sometimes you don't shower for several days.

Bun day, hat day, shower day, repeat.

8. But when you do, you bring a shower beer.

9. Cooking rarely happens.

You’d eat a cold Ego instead of putting it in the toaster, and you order enough food when eating out to have leftovers.

10. You save laundry for weekends you go home to mom.

11. You have no money.

12. But are skilled at budgeting money for alcohol and food.

13. You watch several different series on Netflix while avoiding things you have to do.

14. You still eat raw cookie dough.

15. You don't plan farther ahead than your next meal.

16. The extent to your decorating skills:

If any of the signs apply to you, then you're probably not quite ready to adult. I love naps, cookie dough, and shower beers too much, so here's to never growing up!

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.

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.
