Our twenties are hard, full of change, and quite honestly the most confusing time we’ll go through.

Maybe, just maybe, it’ll be a little easier knowing these things.

1. Just because it doesn’t work out, doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing. This goes for everything from relationships, to jobs, to that pair of high-waisted shorts.

2. Comparing yourself to other girls will only make you sick. You are different, you are great, and you are more than enough. Own it.

3. No one's life is as good as it appears on social media. It's so easy to put your best foot forward in Instagram squares, but it's mostly superficial.

4. Not everyone is meant to be a size 2 with rockstar abs. Be confident in the body you're in.

5. It's okay to change your mind. (THIS GOES FOR EVERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO YOU CAN THINK OF).

6. Don't let a boy shape your worth, you are worthy with or without him.

7. On that note, don't let a boy control anything in your life.

8. In case you're missing the theme here, don't let that boy take you away from your friends and family. They're the ones who are going to be with you at your wedding, even though he might not be.

9. It really, really doesn't matter what people think of you. If you're happy, do it.

10. Change your major if it isn't what you want to do. Long term you're the one who will be living it out, so don't listen to people who deter you.

11. Stop being scared to make a move. Whether it be a haircut or texting that cute guy first, just DO IT.

12. Even on your worst days, remember you've felt like this before and you have always made it through.

13. Even the hardest trials are lessons that make you a better version of yourself.

14. Nothing worth having ever comes easy.

15. It's okay, whatever you're struggling with, I promise you will get through it.


I know these are all cliché, but coming from someone who has recently come to learn all of these myself, it is true what people say. Clichés are there for a reason, and during such a formative time in our lives it’s important we have something to remind us that everything is going to be okay. These crazy emotions are important and everything we’re feeling is normal!

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.

As most of us already know, Friends is one of the greatest television series ever produced. The cast is genius. The humor never gets old. The episodes are relatable and timeless.

I can easily say that I have watched each season at least three times and I belly laugh harder every time. All Friends fans can agree that there are certain lines that form a bond between us and when heard one cannot help but laugh.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

Parks and Rec

We all know that Parks and Recreation is one of the greatest shows ever to air on TV. As we watched every episode, we all found a piece of us in each character (even Jerry). From the moment we met the pit, to the time we saw it flourish into a beautiful park, we all had developed a little bit of Pawnee, Indiana in our hearts.
