Dear God,

Hey. It's me, ya favorite girl, Hannah. How're you doing today? I'm sure you're doing absolutely wonderful and keeping busy. I've been meaning to ask, how's the weather up there? Everyone down here talks about how good it must be. Down here, though, it's been a constant downfall. Thunderstorms all the time and never-ending rain. Or, on second thought, I think that's just my tears. Oh.

So, about that…

Okay, so for starters, I just want to thank you for everything. You know, it's so awesome that you decided that I be born. It's also really great that you blessed me with a brain that works quite well more than half of the time and implanted within me the desire to go to college. I mean, besides the constant breakdown and terrible sleep schedule, life is perfect. It's great. Wonderful. If it were an Amazon purchase, I would give it a solid 4 stars. It only has once default, and it's totally not your fault. It's just me. I'm not too sure how this life/college things is supposed to work just yet. Just a fault of the user.

…anyway…

I have a few questions. A few pleads.

You know I'm in college. You know that I'm trying. I would turn into the most angelic human being if you could convince all of my professors to at least let me pass this school semester with a B. Hey, I'll even take a solid C. Please God, help me.

I feel like I can't do this anymore.

I feel like I am slowly being ran over by a train, during a firestorm, in the dead middle of winter. I know that didn't make any sense, but that's where my brain is now. It's tired, jittery and between the state of being completely blank and utterly full of scientific words I can't even pronounce.

On another note, do you know how much caffeine is too much? (or is there even a limit?) I mean, my hands shake, and my brain wins first place in a marathon with every sip of coffee, but that's healthy. Right? Do humans really need a good seven hours of sleep? Or did crazy people on the internet make that up? Oh! Now tell me, is it possible to sleep and study and binge watch my favorite shows at the same time?

God, please just help me.

Let my professors take sympathy for me and my coffee slap me awake so study sessions.

Please.

I'm just a college kid wanting to make it.

Amen.

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.

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.

Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
