27 Questions You Still Ask Your Mom At 27

Yeah, 27 is considered an adult but is there really a limit to the amount of dumb questions you can ask at that age? I don't believe so.

27 Questions You Still Ask Your Mom At 27

CelebBuzz

We all honestly thought we would have life figured out at 27. We figured our lives would be in order enough to only bug our moms for the random "how to take care of children" questions.

Here I am, at 27, unmarried living with a cat and really struggling with this whole adult thing. I assumed I knew it all until I moved away from my mom three years ago. I was never more wrong, as I call my mom on a daily basis to ask the dumbest things. Here are a few things that many 27-year-olds should know but still ask mom anyways.

1. Why do I have to separate my clothes? I feel like it won't change anything if I shove it all in the washer/dryer together.

2. Am I a baby? (Asked on numerous occasions especially after a few glasses of wine.)

3. Can I put this in the microwave or does it really have to be on the stove?

4. How do I cook (food item)? (Make sure to ask said question over FaceTime)

5. Do I have to follow the recipe or can I skip this step?

6. I have a sharp pain in my side, should I go to the hospital?

7. I have a pain behind my eye, am I dying?

8. Do you think this migraine is because I haven't had caffeine today?

9. Why do you never include me in plans anymore?

10. Should I get another cat?

11. Should I get a dog?

12. What is a good price for an apartment if I don't want a roommate?

13. Why do you like my siblings more than me?

14. Why do you keep saying I will make a cool aunt one day?

15. How many Advil can I take before I make myself sick and overdose?

16. You really think it's okay to take all this medicine?

17. Do you have a (clothing item) I can borrow or do I have to buy one?

18. How long do I cook (food item)?

19. Are you sure it won't turn out disgusting?

20. Is this pot/pan big enough for all this food this should be making?

21. Am I going to fail out of grad school?

22. Is grad school even a good decision?

23. I want to quit my job, can I just live off school loans until I graduate?

24. Did you freeze any of the soup you made?

25. Can I get back on your phone bill?

26. Why can't you just baby me?

27. Where are you and when are you visiting?

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

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

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."
