Starting college was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. But, if you are anything like me and feel like your freshman year was actually just three minutes, or you're a fan of New Girl (which you should be), I 10/10 recommended reading.

1. Realizing that your first year of college is actually over: You are getting old and it is scary.

2. But not really caring BECAUSE IT'S FINALLY SUMMER: No homework = hibernating for the next three months in hopes of getting tan.

3. Accidentally running into people from high school is your worst nightmare: Avoid going out in public at all costs.

4. People ask what your plans are for the summer: Not much to be honest, probably a lot of sleeping, eating, and Netflix, and more eating. No I don't have an internship, and probably will not have a job either (just kidding yes you should get a job).

5. Example A: Summer plans include errands and a smoothie.

6. You can finally eat a meal without using your school ID: You realized that mom's dinners were actually so much better than dorm food.

7. After a year of living without parents, any question about your plans for the night are too much: Can I just go to chipotle without being interrogated?

8. If anyone tries to ask how your first year of college was: I don't know, I had a few over-nighters, 3-7 mental breakdowns, don't remember any weekend, and might have made it to the gym once. But, I am alive, so who is complaining?

9. Overall, you are just happy that you did it: Being done with the first of college a great feeling, and it is time to celebrate.

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.

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.
