How to be a Professional Teenager
Samantha Ledbetter

College sophomore Virginia Mosoreti has just started her Youtube channel. She is a floormate of mine and a great friend of mine, so I may seem biased, but her first video is hilarious and quite informative. As she will be turning twenty years old soon, she is a "professional teenager." Here are her five steps on how to master the teenage years.

1. Love Yourself

Love yourself, be proud of yourself, and believe that you are beautiful. Virginia says, "You've gotta love yourself and your imperfections." Ignore society. "Tell yourself that you're pretty."

2. Have fun!

Just have fun, but be safe! She mentions a time that I was with her, along with two other friends, and we almost got hit by a train. So, be safe but still have fun.

3. Be crazy!

Don't be normal, be crazy. Who cares what others think and enjoy being crazy. Just enjoy life and don't be afraid to do crazy things (with caution).

4. It's okay to cry.

Being a teenager is rough, and sometimes you just wanna cry. That's totally okay. "It doesn't make you a baby. It doesn't make you weak." It's okay to have emotions.

5. Be human.

We are all human. We all have skin, we have emotions, we burp. We all do things that humans do. It's as simple as that. Just be human and don't feel embarrassed to be so.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
