You realize you're becoming an adult when...


1)  You see low gas prices and you absolutely HAVE to stop. (Even if its only a gallon or so that you'll be buying.  Who would pass up that type of opportunity?)

2)  You get excited when new sale flyers arrive in the mail! - grocery sales, that is.

3)  Seeing bills in your mail no longer phases you.
    *Bonus: You write down the due dates on your calendar (or at least set reminders for yourself)

4)  You worry more about how your LinkedIn profile looks than your status on Face Book.

5)  "Laundry Day" is no longer governed by your last pair of underwear or socks.

6)  A "late night" ends at 11:30 for you.

7)  You've taken on this thing called "responsibility", and are trying your best to at least "fake it".

8)  You get frightened awake by nightmares of being past due on your rent... just after you've paid it.

I probably missed a lot of small points, but these are the one's that I have noticed so far.  And can you fault me for not getting them all in the first place? I'm only 22.

The Concept of Minimalism and Roommates

Minimalism is a journey to find what truly makes you happy in life.  It isn't a fad about having the cleanest space with the least goods.  It isn't a switch you flip one day and spontaneously do.  You can't force yourself through getting rid of things.  You will never be able to "convert" people to minimalism.  And it certainly isn't a set number of things needed or not needed to "be a minimalist".  Everyone has their own version of what minimalism is. What minimalism is to me is finding what sparks a smile.  It's about adding meaning back into your life.  It's about remembering what really matters to you, building meaningful relationships, and not always wondering what this mad dash of society is.  It's about breaking the habit of compulsory purchasing and asking yourself "Why?"  "Why am I buying this?" "Does it mean that much to me?" This is a journey I found myself starting about a year or so ago, and...

"Changes" - Coming Soon to a Life Near You!

Changes: they happen.  And they can suck.  A famous few include puberty (everything is changing), the seasons (unless you are here in California), and the political climate (which I will NOT be getting into).  My point is that they exist and, like it or not, they help make the world go round. I have been on a hiatus from blogging (and most of the things I enjoy) for the last few months because of this driving force - though if change were to ever have a drivers licence it would get that licence revoked so fast for speed infringements alone.  By last few months I mean since January.  So almost 7 months?  Change has recently dictated my daily life.  So here is a quick rundown of what's been going on. 1. The title of this blog has changed to reflect the main change... That could be phrased a lot better... But you get the point.  The trio has met it's end.  It's been a good year and some change (see that pun there?), but the boyfriend and I ...

2018, New Year

New Years Resolution: Learn to never feel the need to have a resolution again.  Just be happy with your imperfect self. This is, in my humble opinion, the one thing people always mean to say, but can never bring themselves to do.  It's the main goal, isn't it? Be happy with who you are? Here I am, one month into the new year, and this is only my first blog entry when I thought I should be on my third or fourth.  But you know what? I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that because up until this point in my life, I have had nothing but schedules, and although those can really help you when you're busy, I am tired of them controlling me.  But I shouldn't say that they controlled me. That would be incorrect.  What I should say is that I am tired of letting myself be defined by the schedules I make and force myself to keep.  I should accept the point that I need some flexibility. 2017 marks my first New Years Resolution that I held onto all year long: n...
