You ever notice how life has a way of setting us up with these unrealistic expectations? I blame it on romantic comedies. You know, the ones where the guy shows up at your door in the pouring rain with a boombox playing some sappy love song? I tried that once. Ruined my boombox, caught a cold, and my neighbors called the cops. Turns out, in real life, it's not considered romantic—it's considered disturbing the peace! But it's not just movies. Have you seen these fitness ads? They promise you six-pack abs in just two weeks. Two weeks! I tried it, and after two weeks, I didn't have a six-pack; I had a six-pack of donuts in my hands, contemplating where it all went wrong.
And don't get me started on social media. People posting pictures of their perfect vacations, their perfect meals, their perfect lives. I tried to recreate one of those Instagrammable meals. Let's just say, my attempt at avocado toast looked more like a crime scene.
Life would be so much easier if we just accepted reality. I want a movie where the guy shows up in the rain, slips on the wet pavement, and they both end up in the emergency room with pneumonia. Now that's a love story I can relate to!

Can we talk about beauty standards for a minute? They're like the fine print of life—nobody actually reads them, but they're there to make you feel bad about yourself. Take the beauty industry, for example. They sell us creams that promise to make us look 10 years younger. I bought one, used it for a month, and now I just look like a 35-year-old who spent too much money on face cream. And what's the deal with those magazine covers? Perfect skin, perfect hair, perfect everything. I saw one where the headline was "Wake Up Beautiful." Yeah, right! The only thing I wake up as is a raccoon with bedhead.
And then there's this obsession with thigh gaps. I tried to achieve that once. I stood with my feet so far apart; I looked like I was doing an interpretive dance about avoiding chafing. Spoiler alert: It didn't work.
I propose we set more realistic beauty standards. Like, "Wake Up Without Drooling" or "Achieve a Messy Bun That Doesn't Look Like You Were Attacked by a Flock of Birds." Now that's something I can strive for!

Ah, New Year's resolutions—the annual tradition where we set unrealistic goals for ourselves and then abandon them by February. Last year, I decided I was going to become a morning person. Bought an alarm clock that simulates a sunrise, set it for 5 AM, and woke up thinking I was in the middle of a nuclear explosion. Turns out, I'm not a morning person; I'm more of a "snooze button enthusiast." And what's with the idea that you can transform your entire life in just one year? "New year, new me." Yeah, right. I tried that, and by February, "new me" was just "old me" with a failed gym membership and an extra layer of disappointment.
This year, I'm keeping it real. My resolution is to embrace my flaws, accept that I'll never be a morning person, and celebrate the fact that I can eat a whole pizza by myself without feeling guilty. Now that's a resolution I can stick to!

Who here loves a good DIY project? Pinterest makes it seem so easy. I saw this tutorial on making a coffee table out of old pallets. Seemed simple enough. I got the pallets, borrowed some power tools from my neighbor, and ended up with a coffee table that looked like it survived a hurricane. And don't even get me started on those "easy" home improvement projects. They say painting is therapeutic. Yeah, right! It's therapeutic until you accidentally dip your brush in the wrong can and your living room goes from "Subtle Beige" to "Highlighter Yellow."
I decided to try my hand at gardening. Bought all the supplies, planted the seeds, and waited for my beautiful garden to bloom. Turns out, plants need more than just water and positive affirmations. Who knew?
Let's be honest; DIY stands for "Destroy It Yourself." Maybe I'll just stick to buying things and leave the crafting to the professionals.
