You Are "Adulting" Just Fine

If you're trying hard, then you're doing it right.

You Are "Adulting" Just Fine

We spend at least half of our lives trying to figure out what "Life" is. I don’t know this for a fact, no one really does either, but Life is this: It’s you sitting, or standing or laying down reading this article. Within that half of time we will spend about a quarter of it trying to figure out who we are and the rest doubting whether it’s good enough for everyone else. Some people are “ahead of the curve” and they figure it out a little sooner than you did, but even then the mighty can fall. Some people are born into it, a steady route to success. Yet, we’re all casualties on Earth; all of us just people, vulnerable to the woes and the gifts of Life. All of us trying to figure it out. All of us trying to find out who we are. So, relax, it’s okay. You are “adulting” just fine. Everything is time. Be patient.

Here are some Harry Potter quotes that, hopefully, help you sleep better at night when you're wondering "why?":


1.

Trial and Error. It's how we get back up that defines who we are. Try it. Again. And again. And again.

2

A friend of mine once said to me "don't worry about something until you have something to worry about." Cross the bridge when you get there.

3.

What is a life without love? It is what makes us utterly unique; that we can love beyond reason.

4.

I know this one is harder to do than to say. Try reminding yourself that you are good enough. There is no one on this Earth that is just like you. So who better to say what you're capable of then you?

5.

Don't get stuck on your mistakes; we all make them. Learn from those mistakes.

6.

This one... I couldn't say it better myself.

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.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
