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.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
