As the week comes to a close, I am overflowing with pressing questions. Why is it 75 degrees on the east coast halfway through October? What the hell am I going to be for Halloween? How long is it going to take for this milkshake obsession to catch up with my thighs?

I’ll find solace in knowing I’m not the only one asking away.

At 16 years old?! When I was 16 I was falling in love with a new guy every week and stressing over the pimple on my forehead. If someone had put me in a yacht and sent me out to sea for 8 months I would curl into a fetal position and cry myself to death.
