Yeah, I was wrong.

17 Things You Think You'll Never Say As An Adult

When you were growing up, there were undoubtedly things that your parents, aunts/uncles and grandparents said that you did not understand. You said to yourself "I'm NEVER gonna say that when I'm an adult" or "I'm never gonna do that when I'm older." To prove the point that we all failed in that, here are a list of those common things. Also, a few things we all said that probably didn't come true.

1. 'Bye-Bye' when you hang up the phone.

Every. Time.

2. I'm never going to drink alcohol (some of us still stick to this. No shame.)

*Pours glass of wine that can hold an entire bottle*


3. I am never going to utter a swear word.

I turn into such a potty mouth when I stub my toe walking in the dark.


4. Kids are annoying (cause you were a kid at the time and you did not think of yourself that way).

I love kids....but not the screaming.


5. Back when I was in high school.

Because five years is an eternity ago.

6. I'm going to meet the love of my life by the time I'm 20.

*Can't catch breath from laughing so hard*


7. These kids today...what are they doing now? What is dabbing?

SERIOUSLY, WHY IS DABBING A THING? Let me just stand here like I'm sneezing into my elbow, it's cool.

8. I will be the trendiest person ever.

I like having all my parts covered, thank you very much.

9. I need a drink. Ya know...of the alcoholic variety.

$1 margarita at Applebee's? I'M IN!


10. I'm never going to need help with anything.

Really? You have to be kidding me with this one?


11. I told you so.

Because life makes you petty enough to keep score.


12. Because I said so, that's why.

Because we all eventually channel our inner parent...


13. I'm getting too old for this.

I'm 22, standing up shouldn't be this difficult.


14. I don't know about that...8:00 p.m. seems pretty late.

I need a pretty convincing reason to get out of my pajamas.

15. I'm never going to have any debt. (That's cute).

Two words: Student Loans. Two other words: Car loans.

16. Mom/Dad/Authority figure actually knew what they were talking about.

Seems crazy, right?


17. I'm not ready to grow up.

As my father always says, you have to grow old, not up.

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.

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.
