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.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

You need sleep, but also have 13 things due in the span of 4 days.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
