Every group of female friends have had this conversation. They have assigned the roles: who is a Carrie, a Samantha, a Charlotte, and a Miranda? Next time you find yourself fighting to be a Carrie: You are a Miranda. Vogue or dinner? Shoes or a house? I thought so -- realistic, honest, supportive, and absolutely not putting up with anyone’s crap. Miranda.

1. "I am never going to be happy. It's just not going to happen for me."

When Starbucks sells out of brownies the same day you fail a quiz and it's just too much.

2. "I want to enjoy my success, not apologize for it."

When you feel like the HBIC you know you are.

3. "The least he could do is wait to get to know me before he rejects me!"

When that really cute guy never swipes right.

4. "He's just not that into you. So move on."

When you lose your patience after your friend won't stop obsessing over some jerk who is no good for her and never will be (cough cough, Mr. Big).

5. "Last night, Steve and I held hands for an hour and a half watching the fire. He was looking into my eyes, I was looking for the remote."

When you decide romance and intimacy are dead, so you might as well catch up on "The Bachelor."

6. "And by the way, never never call me again. Have a nice day.

When you meet people who say they're voting for Donald Trump.

7. "You know what used to make me feel better? Cookies."

Two words: finals week.

8. "She was a lawyer. He was a sandwich."

When you plan in your head how you'll tell your friends about your latest meet-cute.

9. "I can't believe that a guy would think that I was sexy."

When you're recapping an intense date with your best friend.

10. "Jesus, every time you get near him you turn into this pathetic, needy, insecure victim and the thing that pisses me off the most? That you're more than willing to go right back for more."

11. "We loved, thank you. You enriched my life, now go prosper. But I'm more: We didn't work out. You need to not exist."

The only appropriate response to a text from an ex.

12. "You see, this is why I don't date. The men out there are freaks."

Yup.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

University of Dayton

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
