Everyone is dazzled by a French accent. It’s just how it is.
If you don’t believe me, just ask Brigitte Bardot.
You may find yourself appreciating things like stewed meat, beets, capers, meatloaf, fiber supplements, etc. after reaching the age of 30. It’s just how it is.
If someone had told me 10 years ago that I would willfully eat a beet salad I would’ve said you’d gone cray cray.
Most people think they’re smarter, more talented, better looking, funnier, etc. than they actually are. It’s just how it is.
Unfortunately said by most people. If you disagree, you’re probably one of ’em. Sorry to break it to ya.
Cancer really, really sucks. It’s just how it is.
Enough said.
One day you might realize that Hall and Oats is a highly underrated band that makes you want to bust a groove. You might come to this conclusion at a wedding reception when the band is playing Rich Girl, or maybe it might occur to you while listening to the radio in your car, but it will most definitely not happen until after the age of at least 25. It’s just how it is.
Love the handlebar mustache.
Mixed tapes are highly underrated. It’s just how it is.
Charlie from Perks of Being a Wallflower would back me up on this (if he were a real, living human being.)
Taylor Swift dates too many dudes and writes too many songs about them. It’s just how it is.
I’m not hating, though, Tay-Tay. I still heart your music very much.
Everyone has a mirror face and it’s awkward for everyone else witnessing it, except for the person making the mirror face. It’s just how it is.
Kim K. is naturally a perfect example.
Detroit (my hometown) is so much cooler than anyone gives it credit for. It’s just how it is.
Period.
Teenage drama is and will always be the worst kind of drama no matter how old you get. It’s just how it is.
See what I mean?
The accordion is an extremely annoying instrument that is not at all pleasing to the ear. It’s just how it is.
Sorry all you accordion lovers…
Everybody wants to rule the world. It’s just how it is.
Right? Right.
Every girl born in the 80’s tried to form their own Babysitters Club when they were a tween. It’s just it is (or was).
You know you all did it.
No one really knows who coined the term “catfish” or what it has to do with being a scumbag online. It’s just how it is.
He’s looking at you, Manti Te’o.

Keep up the good work…love and miss you! Aunt L xoxox

This post was really funny!! My fav was the one about people thinking they’re smarter,funnier, more talented, better looking, etc. than everyone else! This is soooooo true, I know lots of people in this category! Also, the one that says cancer sucks, enough said, is perfect and what else can you say about cancer other than IT SUCKS!!! Spot on Sarah!! xoxox
Thanks Ma! xoxo
Still hung up on this shot of Jimi PLAYING the accordion! Maybe it would sound LESS awful in his hands?
Perhaps?
Guilty on the Babysitters Club 🙂
Haha, me too!
you haven’t watched catfish eh? lol
Oh, I have! Love it.
Thanks for the laugh this morning. I am sure I am going to enjoy following your blog now that I found you!
Thanks so much for the follow:)
Stumbled across your blog and read this post and laughed out loud! So funny, because my daughter and I were just having that conversation in the car today about Taylor Swift and her many beaus which she, in turn, sings about. And, just yesterday, I tweeted about Detroit…I have no connection to the city other than visiting for work several times a few years back…but for some reason, I have a great appreciation for it! See my tweet @tosoglobal.
Thank you! I love to hear when people laugh out loud. It makes me smile!
LOVE it! Never did read the Babysitters Club, I was more into Fear Street by R.L. Stein. Creepy I know!
Hmm… I wonder if I’m part of that category who thinks they are better looking than the really are.. must be that mirror face I make.. 😀
