1.Buying the instrument


You want to play the instrument but you don't know what to buy and you’re scared your going to buy the wrong one.

2. Figuring out how to play it

You got the instrument, finally, now time for the music. You either buy music or look it up online.

3. You find out you were playing it wrong

You thought it didn’t sound right so doing more research makes you realize you were right.

4. You turn to Youtube


The hours staring at music that you don’t understand isn’t helping so you turn to youtube for some tutorials, maybe they will help.

5. You realize it was harder then you expected

You sit there watching a person play and realize this is more work then you thought.

6. You debate on giving up

This is more then you thought and maybe it’s not worth your time.

7. You keep practicing

You spent so much money on this instrument that you cant give up after only an hour.

8. You learn to play one note properly


You show everyone, that one note you will always remember. The moment shows you that you can do it.

9. You learn to play a song


You’re kinda slow, cause it take you a few seconds to switch from note to note. But you did it and the best part it kinda sounds right.

10. You can play two songs.


Two are better then one. When you get sick of the one song you can practice the other.

11. You practice and now you have a new skill


You have gone through pain and struggle but if people ask you what you can do you can add playing an instrument to your list of skills. I don’t know who’s going to ask you but have fun.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. 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.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
