A Letter to the Adult-ish, Young, And Confused

Once you turn that big 1-8 or 2-0 you realize that you're not a child anymore. You have so much to do and much to think about. It is all weird, confusing, and also scary to realize you do everything on your own.

So to all the adult-ish, young, and confused here is a letter.

Adult-ish, Young, and Confused

When did making appointments on my own, become scary?

Why are there so many different types of light bulbs to choose from?

I am on my own, whether I have grown up already or just started things. It can get scary. I try to figure out what kind of insurance I even have.

What will I do with my life? I'm not worried but stressed.

I am just figuring out who I am and what I want in life. Please do not expect me to know everything.

Please treat me older, because I am, I have changed.

I don't know what is all out there but I am hungry to know and see more.

Show me the ropes of how to adult.

Dating is hard, we are all confused and it sucks sometimes.

I stopped growing but that doesn't mean I don't stop growing emotionally.

What do I do? I have so much to think about but, will I do it?

The fact that I enjoy and appreciate cleaning more, what is that about?

The older I get, the more I fall asleep by 8 pm.

The more I value my own opinions, I am told I am too young to understand.

I am told to get it together like I am supposed to know everything already.

Apartment searching, oh gosh I could use free housing indefinitely.

I do not know much, but I am learning.

I can not afford much, but I still try.

I do not know how to do this thing called life.

For I am adult-ish, young, and confused.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
