I’ve finally come to the realization that adulting is just Googling everything you don’t know and praying it’s accurate. I mean, how did we go from learning how to do algebra in school to figuring out if we can fit a king-size mattress into a sedan? Why didn’t anyone warn me that 90% of life is awkwardly trying to navigate IKEA without a map or a degree in structural engineering? And let’s not eve...
Is anyone else just fully convinced that the universe is messing with us? Like, you wake up thinking it’s a good day, only to step in a puddle, lose your keys right after you found them, and then your favorite snack is out of stock at the store. It’s like a cosmic joke no one told me about. If life’s a game, I definitely need to change my character because this one has way too many glitches.
I finally decided to finish that book series everyone raves about, thinking I’d join the "cool kids" who pretend to read classics. But here I am, three weeks in, and I can’t even remember the names of half the characters. I just know one of them has a tragic backstory and probably a pet dragon. Meanwhile, I’m still parked on my couch, munching on chips, wondering if I should just start rereading the first Harry Potter instead. Why do we do this to ourselves?

Why do we always have that one friend who insists on taking a group selfie every time we go out? Like, I came for the free food and gossip, not a photo op. And then they spend 20 minutes editing it while we're all just sitting there like, “Didn’t we just eat together? Why do we need evidence?” I need answers, because at this point, I'm starting to think my life is just a series of forced Instagram...
