Is something burning? Probably.

Some people are blessed with the ability to cook. I am not one of those people. The first time I had to fend for myself was an actual disaster. From grocery shopping to trying to cook by myself, I learned that I will never be a chef. I’ve always envied the people who can whip up a fabulous meal without needing a recipe or fancy ingredients. I can’t even name all of the times I’ve screwed up the simplest recipes; there is no hope for me! If you struggle just as much as I do, then this post is for you!

1. Kitchen anxiety galore.

    The thought of having your own kitchen someday is a bit scary. Even scarier is the thought of having a family of your own to feed. I usually avoid being in the kitchen at all costs unless I am starving.

    2. Messy is your middle name.

    When you do have to attempt to make something, it’s probably a messy disaster. Want to make cupcakes? The frosting will probably end up everywhere. May the force be with you. And maybe paper towels.

    3. Your microwave is the love of your life.

    *Frantically searches for the microwave instructions on the bag before buying.*

    4. You call your mom a lot.

    “Is it normal if it’s on fire?” But seriously, mom always knows what to do when you find yourself in a sticky situation. I’ll probably be doing it forever. Sorry, Mom!

    5. Peanut butter and jelly is a beautiful thing.

    Anything that doesn’t involve the possibility of you burning yourself is pretty great. You can’t go wrong: it’s cheap, and it tastes great!

    6. “But I followed the instructions…”

    No matter how carefully you have read the instructions, something will probably go wrong. Once I added a tablespoon of salt to chocolate chip cookie dough instead of a teaspoon. Whoops. How did I mess that one up?

    7. Potlucks are your worst nightmare.

    “Everyone bring a dish to share!” *Runs to the store.*

    8. You are terrified of having judgmental in-laws someday.

    The thought of having to host a Thanksgiving dinner is actually really scary. A bunch of people coming over and eating my food? No thank you.

    9. Restaurants are the bomb.com.

    No cooking? No goopy crime scene? No dishes or scraping burnt food off pans? Sounds good to me! I guess I will leave it up to the experts.

    I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

    I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

    1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

    Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

    Chandler Bing

    I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

    Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

    Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

    1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

    2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

    3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
