6 Unrealistic Expectations Pinterest Has Given Me

The Street

Pinterest has been around since 2010 giving people everywhere unrealistic expectations about practically everything under the sun. From crafting perfectly painted coolers to your dream wedding dress or your dream mansion. Pinterest has it all.

1. Becoming a crafting goddess

Yes, Pinterest taught me to paint canvases, make bracelets, sew, and envision beautiful creations; although, sometimes those things fail miserably. Have you ever tried to free-hand paint an entire cooler? Don't do it to yourself (or at least not overnight).

2. Finding a dream home

If Pinterest were a real estate agent, they would be the best in the business. They find the perfect small apartment fully furnished to a cottage style house, or even a mansion on water. They allow you to dream big, find something you love without breaking the bank by re-pinning it and just dreaming of those walk-in closets, fireplaces, pools, lake house in the backyard, and all of the luxuries that aren't quite in that college girl budget.

3. Chef Master

Have you ever tried out a Pinterest recipe? Did it work out perfectly for you? Yes? Save it. Print it. Frame it. That doesn't happen too often when one tries to create something from the Perfect Princess Printer, but when it does it is flawless and delicious.

4. To Be or Not To Be: Philosophical

Quotes from the days of Aristotle, authors like Hemingway, lyrics from your favorite songs, and unknown writers who share their words with the world. If only we could all be like those writers and share our views with the world.

5. Perfect Weight. Perfect Face. Perfect Abs.

Just remember, Perfect Princess Pinterest has all of those things. Don't get too jealous.

6. Puppies

Who doesn't love puppies? Pinterest has the most perfect Golden Retrievers, Labs, little dogs, big dogs, fluffy puppies, and puppies playing with tennis balls. Who doesn't just want a lap full of puppies?

Now, it's time to get back to Pinterest and re-pin those dream kitchens, perfectly painted canvases, puppies, and everything that Princess Pinterest has to offer.

Adulting

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."
