Intro to Adulting

The stress upon high school students, new graduates, and young adults is a problem! Who made the rule that you must have your shit together at a certain age?? It's okay not to know! It's okay to take a break! We, as a society, need to stop pushing our youth into making life-changing decisions at such a young age! We all know people who do not use their college degree and work in a totally...

We all have a "6th Sense" and it's called intuition.

From a stalker-ish ex-boyfriend who crashed his bike, on purpose, in front of McDonald's (my first job), getting ghosted on a date, and a date who took Serena to his ex-girlfriend's weight lifting competition to make her jealous!
