Willie Nelson is not getting any younger, and unfortunately, he knows that. The past few years have been a slow downfall of slow, sad songs by Willie, The graceful, but the speedy descent of an eagle from the sky .

A recent slow, sad song by Willie, toying with the notion of an ending world.

2. Summer Wind


A slow, but upbeat blues song, describing losing a love.

3. Heaven Is Closed


A song describing heaven being closed, hell being too full. He describes, "I think I'll just stay where I am".

4. It's All Going To Pot

Willie is definitely more upbeat in this song than the rest. He is describing the world going to hell. It can be left up to your imagination if he is talking about, government, politics, economics or music.

5. Roll Me Up And Smoke Me When I Die

A very upbeat, but still sad backed song Willie sings about dying, and even though he is dead, he wants you to have a party,

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.

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!
