Why does every adult act like they have their life together, when we all secretly Google how to boil an egg? Like, is there some secret handbook I missed that explains how to adult? I’m over here still contemplating whether I should order takeout or attempt to cook something that definitely won't look like the picture. How do you all keep up with this charade?
Is it just me, or is "how are you?" the most pointless question ever?
