On August 1st, I turned 20 years old. I know that's not old at all and I don't have the right to be giving you any words of wisdom, because frankly I have none. I'm still pretty clueless about most things and I'm here to be honest about them.

1. Why was there a hole in the blood vial?

Please see: "Making a Murderer."

2. How come America is the only country in the world that doesn't use the metric system?

I feel like multiples of 10 are way easier than memorizing how many feet are in a mile. (Which I still don't know, by the way. Thanks, Google.)

3. While we're here, how many cups are in a gallon? How many teaspoons are in a tablespoon? I'm really confused.

It's so hard.

4. I've spent my whole life thinking pineapples grow on trees, and they don't.

Honestly, what even is this thing?

5. "Games of Thrones."

I just don't get the hype. Shoot me.

6. Is anyone not going to talk about how huge a moose is?

To be honest, I thought they were as big as horses. Nope.

7. Why do cops have suspected drunk drivers say the ABCs backwards?

I can't even do that sober so cuff me up, buddy.

8. The man bun.

Do I like it? Do I not? I'm confused.

9. People who complain about paint color on "House Hunters."

Isn't it crazy that they make paint so that you can cover up more paint?

10. Why people don't think I'm as funny as I do.

Come on. Seriously.

11. You're telling me that shows like "The Bold and the Beautiful" are still on TV, but "Psych" gets canceled?

Yes, I'm still bitter.

12. There are people in the world that don't like mac and cheese.

This one just really gets me.

13. Why isn't everyone #TeamJess?

Please see: "Gilmore Girls," you piece of trash.

14. Why were Deb Scott and Skills together? At all?

Like that did nothing for the plot line and you know it. It was weird for all of us.

15. Why boys have to comment on how much makeup girls wear.

Like, did my highlight blind you or are you really that stupid? Let me know.

16. Who declared fanny packs "unfashionable?"

It's so convenient, what do you mean?

17. Also, how to spell convenient without spell check.

I just can't do it, okay?

18. Why One Direction decided it was okay just to break up like that?

I can't talk about it for too long or I get upset.

19. How does Easy Mac work?

I can make mac and cheese in 3 minutes and 30 seconds!!!

20. How come literally all dogs are cute???


If you think I'm stupid for not knowing these things that's fine.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
