Stars - Your Ex Lover is Dead

God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'

 Running into an ex is on the list of the top 10 possible awkward encounters to have. It's weird that it's so awkward because you spent time with this person and for a brief moment they were one of the most important people in your life. Yet even if you separate in an amicable way, running into them is so uncomfortable. Maybe it is because you opened up to them and were vulnerable. But when it ends we choose to ignore those facts and focus on the negatives. Now I'm not saying every ex is actually a great person. They are an ex for a reason; they could have been a real jerk towards you or it was great but your lives and priorities changed so you drifted. Either way it is strange to see each other again because you are faced with reliving some of those moments and the person you used to be.

10 Signs You're Entering Adulthood

It's you're 21st birthday? You're a citizen of the United States?!  This means you have all the responsibility in the world to get plastered legally!! Cheers for entering adulthood!!

If you remember this night, you didn't drink enough.

Now that you got all of that out of your system. Do you feel like an adult? Probably not. But it's okay because being an adult is slightly overrated.

However, it t will come creeping up on you in the future and you'll have a moment of realization that you are indeed an adult. Mostly. I mean you're probably still in your 20s when you realize it.

I'm Amanda and I have "officially" been an adult for 2 years. I only now started to feel like one so I decided to compile a list of sure signs that you have indeed entered adulthood.

The Actual Difference Self-Confidence and Respect Makes

"Bayside Couple" by mrhayata @ flickr

I stumbled upon this article, The Actual Difference Between Women Who Are Hot And Who Are Beautiful, by Lauren Martin while she makes an excellent distinction between being described as "hot" versus "beautiful" as a woman, she begins her article with negative undertones towards men. 

She begins by listing different adjectives with sexual innuendos that are used to describe a woman's appearance. Eventually, she distinguishes it's not all men who determine a woman's worth by their sex appeal, however, for most of the article she treats men as a whole, essentially describing them as sex crazed, only seeing women as objects. 

I have some issues with this argument because it's not fully one-sided as she makes it seem. Women describe men with adjectives that are suggestive, such as hot and sexy. We put pressure on them about having the perfect set of abs and arms, the slightly rugged look similar to David Beckham. They shouldn't be overweight or underweight. We put a lot of pressure on them too and forget to use the words like handsome and attractive to describe one we like.
