Why Adulting Is Actually The Worst

6 things no one prepared me for

Why Adulting Is Actually The Worst
Explosion

I feel like there is that certain age where life just smacks you right in the face (although this has happened multiple times in my short time on Earth). I can truly and honestly say that age 25 has been one of the best years yet. I'm engaged to an amazing man, I graduated college, we're house-hunting and will be getting married in 6 short months! With this said, there are so many things that no one prepared me for! Adult-ing is hard. Bottom line. It sucks sometimes. Here's my list of all the adult things that no one prepared me for.


Filling out a W-2

True story, I had to text my mom a few weeks ago because I had zero idea what to put. Not even a clue.

You are now the "adult" when you're out

You all know what I mean. Even though we all loved vacations without our parents, having an actual adult with you, is comforting...I don't provide much comfort to myself on vacation.

You get paid and still have no money

I don't know, I don't understand it either.


Health Insurance

Who decided 26 was the age of an "adult"? Yeah. You suck.

Buying a House

My fiancé and I have not officially done this yet, but we have started the process and it's literally the worst. There is nothing fun about it. I want my mom to do it and just let me know when I can move in.

Living at Home

I feel like there should be an exception to having to "adult". If you still live at home, disregard everything stated above.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
