The 20-Something 6-Year-Old

Going outside my box is not something I enjoy.

I'm particular in a lot of ways and change is not my friend. I'm compared to a six year old than any twenty-something should, but I'm okay with that-- being a big kid isn't fun

  • I still order off the kids menu, because more times than not, what I like isn't on the "big kids" menu.
    • Chicken Fingers & Fries, please!
  • ... And I still can't finish a meal meant for a child in one (sometimes even two) sittings.
    • "I'm suppose to be able to finish THAT?! In one sitting!? I don't think so..." is often my first thought when I see my plate dropped off.
  • When my parents pick up my food their asked if it's for their child.
    • Because no one in their right mind eats lettuce & dressing, cheese pizza, and french fries, in one sitting.
  • I get something on me within the first five minutes of every meal.
    • White is NOT my friend
  • No one will share a pizza with you because "cheese is boring"
  • Five star restaurants don't have anything on the menu that I like- so taking me on a date is cheap and easy.
  • I have a strict bed time of 9 o'clock and 10 on weekends.
    • ....If i'm lucky
  • My teddy bear still keeps me safe at night
  • Every boxed lunch is still PB&J, chips, & fruit snacks
  • Nap & snack time is still very much a part of my life.
  • Disney Channel is still my go-to channel
  • "I love you" ends every conversation
    • Mom, dad, grandparents, friends, sometimes even the doctor.
  • I'm always the last one in the group to get the jokes
    • ...and it's usually because someone had to explain it to me
  • Showering is still one of the days most dreaded activity and gets put off for as long as possible.
  • I'm always the one asking for more bread.
  • Rainbow sprinkles are a must on every ice cream.
  • Pigtail braids is my go-to hair style.
  • "Will you be my friend?" is a sentence spoken way to often.
  • The firefighters are always on call when I'm anywhere near the kitchen.
    • Even with microwave popcorn
  • When I put makeup on, I finally look closer to twenty-something than six.

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.
