Whether you're a senior in college dreading the adult world, or are already supposed to be 'adulting,' there's a few signs indicating you aren't ready to grow up. Here it goes!

1. Your kitchen table looks like this:


2. You need 27 alarms to get up every morning.

3. Sweats count as an outfit.

4. Naps are necessary to get through the day.

5. Your cabinets are filled with paper plates and red solo cups.

6. Most of the pictures on your phone are either of you and friends partying or cat memes.

7. Sometimes you don't shower for several days.

Bun day, hat day, shower day, repeat.

8. But when you do, you bring a shower beer.

9. Cooking rarely happens.

You’d eat a cold Ego instead of putting it in the toaster, and you order enough food when eating out to have leftovers.

10. You save laundry for weekends you go home to mom.

11. You have no money.

12. But are skilled at budgeting money for alcohol and food.

13. You watch several different series on Netflix while avoiding things you have to do.

14. You still eat raw cookie dough.

15. You don't plan farther ahead than your next meal.

16. The extent to your decorating skills:

If any of the signs apply to you, then you're probably not quite ready to adult. I love naps, cookie dough, and shower beers too much, so here's to never growing up!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
