Do I even have a bank account at this point?

7 Stresses We Go Through As Young Adults
William Iven

Let me tell you; transitioning into a young adult sucks. Things just hit you in the face left to right and sometimes it is hard to deal with them. These things being bills, rent, jobs, etc. We, as young adults, go through so much stress. Older adults would always say, "You don't know what stress is, once you get to my age, you will understand." Sometimes adults act like we have it good and do not stress. Well, let me begin by giving you some of the things that young adults stress about:

1. Do I have a bank account at this point?

At this moment, you thought you had "xxxx.xx" dollars in your account, and then you look at the actual amount in your bank account.

2. We don't find the bills, they find us

Some of us have to pay bills. Our phone bills, utility bills, and other bills just love to pile on us. It seems like we can never catch a break.

3. How far behind am I?

Once we pay rent, you know money is already going to be tight. Just when you thought you had money to feed yourself, you dont.

4. Have you been hitting the gym?

We always say we are going to hit the gym hard, and some of us never do because we either work a lot of hours, or we just do not have the motivation.

5. Nothing is going right

The feeling where you feel that everything is crashing down. You have so many things to do, deadlines coming up, and time is short to do it all.

6. I haven't heard you make that noise before

That moment where you know your car is on its last leg. Just when you think nothing else can give you more stress, your car starts to make a noise, or you haven't gotten an oil change, or it just needs to be fixed in general.

7. Please let this one go through

That moment when you are worried you are not going to be able to eat because you do not know if you have sufficient funds.

Whether we are kids, teens, or adults, we all go through life struggles. No matter the situation, our struggles always matter. People may think that what you are going through is not that serious and does not matter. However, people handle situations differently; some harder than others. Point is, you are important and your struggles are also. So, if you have the support or resources, reach out. If you do not know where to go, do research; google is your best friend. You can do it, you just need to have the drive to go through your problems and find solutions.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
