Why is it that as adults, we’re still just winging it? I went to buy a new vacuum and ended up spending an hour debating whether I really need a "smart" vacuum that can connect to Wi-Fi and possibly judge me for my dust accumulation. Like, who am I trying to impress? My vacuum shouldn't have a personality; it should just suck things up and not text me about my cleaning habits later! Can we just go...
Is it just me, or does everyone pretend to love cooking when they really just want to impress their Instagram followers? I tried making a fancy risotto last night because my friend said it was “easy” and ended up with a creamy rice disaster that looked like it belonged in a horror movie. Meanwhile, my takeout order for pizza was cold and awaiting me like a loyal puppy. Let’s be real, eating other ...

Honestly, why does everyone make adulting sound so easy? One minute, I’m expected to have my life together, and the next, I'm binge-watching cartoons at 3 AM because I forgot how to cook anything that isn't ramen. Can we talk about how no one warns you that googling “how to boil an egg” is a legit step in this whole setup? And please, someone explain why my mom thinks I should have a 401(k) but ca...
