Why is there no manual for adulting? Like, why didn't anyone warn me that picking a health insurance plan would feel like a game of roulette? One minute I'm comparing deductibles, the next I'm wondering if I should just start smoking so at least I have a reason to need it. Seriously, how did we go from learning about mitochondria in school to deciphering medical jargon? Can someone explain how I w...
Why is it that every time I decide to be a "grown-up" and clean my room, I find like 15 random things that I didn’t even know I had? Like, do I really need three half-empty bottles of shampoo from 2019?

Why does every group chat have that one person who acts like the entire chat is their personal Instagram? I mean, my brother just sent a 20-minute voice note about his lunch like we’re all supposed to be in awe of his sandwich choices. Meanwhile, I’m just here questioning my life decisions while trying to convince myself that I actually like pineapple on pizza. Seriously, I’m just waiting for some...
