20 Ways I'm Not Prepared For Adulthood

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
