Yikes...that's all I have to say.

20 Ways I'm Not Prepared For Adulthood
Buzzfeed

I try hard to have my life together but in reality,I'm onboard the same struggle bus as the next 20-something. Actually, I think I am probably driving it. If you're reading this, I assume that you also don't really know what to do either. Looks like we're in this together, pal! I mean, I'll get my life right at some point but until then, here's a list of ways I know I'm not ready to embrace adulthood that I think you can relate to as well.

1. I think that photo of the cat is hilarious


2. I spend WAAAY too much money on food.

I believe in treating myself, but my bank account does not. Especially when it's mainly Chick-Fil-A, Moe's, Starbucks, or McDonalds. Those $1 large sweet teas really do add up.

3. I think going to Walmart in a cow onesie is OK.

Or any kind of onesie, footy pajamas, or regular pajamas.

4. Actually, going ANYWHERE in a cow onesie is OK.


I'm not even mad about it.

5. I let my laundry pile build up into an erupting laundry volcano.

You know what I am talking about.

6. I think chips and salsa is a good dinner.

I've definitely had chips and salsa the past 5 days for dinner.

7. I don't drink enough water.


Usually, I just drink a lot of coffee instead.

8. I eat after 9 p.m.

I know it is so bad for me, but sometimes that is only time I am hungry...

9. When she can, my mom still gives me money when I only have $2.37 in my checking account.

My mom is the real MVP.

10. I don't understand how mortgages work. Like, at all.

11. I LOVE pink Moscato.

I just felt all of the real adult women cringe.

12. The concept of "working out and eating right" is foreign.

For now, I stick to eating pasta in my bed and binge-watching "Desperate Housewives."

13. I haven't gotten a "check-up" in like three years...

Scheduling appointments shouldn't be hard. But I mean, I'm alive...so I'm probably fine?

14. I definitely don't have a healthy sleep schedule.

Sometimes I go to bed at 8:00 p.m., and sometimes I go to bed at 4 a.m...I'll probably find a balance eventually.

15. I also don't understand taxes.

Money = foreign language.

16. Touching raw meat makes me want to die.

Good luck future family of mine. I don't know if I'll actually ever grow out of this one.

17. I hit the snooze button at least five times in the morning.

Sometimes, I even set it for earlier than I actually have to wake up just so I can hit the snooze button five times and still have time to get cute in the morning.

18. I still use terms such as "fierce", "totes", "retweet", and "amazeballs".

OK, so I might be the only one that still says 'amazeballs', but you know you relate.

19. When a light comes on in my car, I call my parents to ask what it means and if my car is going to explode or not.

20. When I have a question about literally anything, I just call mom.

Or find the nearest adult to help me figure life out.

As I wait for the magic Adult Fairy to boop me on the noggin with all of this knowledge, you can find me curled up on my couch, Moe's burrito in hand, watching "Fixer Upper" reruns and laughing at the internet.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent 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.
