The Scary Signs You're Turning Into *Cringe* An Adult

It's happening!


You're growing up and turning into one of those people who contributes to society. Ugh. If you haven't noticed some of these signs I think I'm jealous of you.

1) You "connect" on LinkedIn with classmates before you mutually follow each other on Instagram.

2) You look forward to that internship rather than doing nothing all summer.

3) When your parents ask if you need a blender, and you already have one. *Bonus cringe if the last thing you used it for wasn't to make margaritas*

4) You actually clean when you know guests are coming over. Point to ya there mothers, we get it now....

5) Gifts are thought of as practicalities, not funny "what they want"s. Now they've become "what they need" and thoughtful.

6) You've accumulated enough nice clothes to hang in your closet and now you have to move the t-shirts, that were once on those hangers, to a drawer or shelf.

7) Younger family members look towards you for guidance, and when you suggest they ask an adult they remind you that you are the adult.

8) You now side with Ariel's dad in the fight about being in love with a boy at 16.

9) You think the newest video trends on social media look dumb.

10) The planner you once used to pretend to organize is now actually your lifeline to having it together.

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.
