I’m convinced my dog is my biggest fan. I mean, he greets me like I just returned from an expedition to Mars every time I walk through the door. Meanwhile, my friends give me that awkward half-smile like they just remembered I owe them money. Honestly, my dog deserves a medal for putting up with my terrible singing and those “experimental” cooking days. Truly, who else will celebrate my microwave ...
I have a confession: I still text my mom for the Wi-Fi password every time I'm at home, even though I know it by heart. It’s like our little ritual now, and honestly, I think she enjoys the attention more than I do.

I’ve come to the conclusion that adulthood is just a really long episode of “Survivor” but with bills instead of tropical challenges.
