growing up
Finding new reasons to go back to school, over and over again, is often a sign of failure to launch. School gives you an excuse to put life on pause. You get stuck in the learning phase and never move onto the doing phase. Here’s something somebody needs to tell students today: most of what you’ll need to learn about your career you cannot learn in school. You have to learn it in the field. There are career lessons a book and a professor cannot teach you.
You don’t realize that simply waiting and seeing how previous relationships unfolded before moving in together would have saved you the headache (and heartache) of having to suddenly find a new home. You just blame your exes or your ex-friends for the disaster, rather than thinking maybe you could prevent this from happening again.
Friends don’t ask for your advice on…anything. Not career stuff. Not their family feuds. Not their relationship problems. Not their money troubles. But you have got wind of the fact that they ask each other—just not you.
There are a few things that you just can't do once you're in a committed relationship.

Growing up means a lot of things, with one of those things being that you have to dress like you're a grown up.
Remember getting your hair braided before school? Or your first perm? What about running home before the street lights came on?
What rules do your parents have for their home?
In the words of Angela Bassett, "Get your ish and get out"!
Somebody has some growing up to do.
