One half of our Adultish team is celebrating a birthday today!
Here is a poem showing how awesome this chick is…
K is for kind, sweet and nice
A is always being there to talk no matter the time of night
T is for tall, for she is not short
I is for imagination, she is always reaching for more
Finally, E stands for exciting because its never the same thing twice!
Happiest Birthday!
We all know the hilarious workplace comedy, The Office. In the US version, Michael Scott is played brilliantly by Steve Carell. He is the ringleader of his paper-selling employees. Although there is a very long list of why he would probably not last in a real life managerial position, here are six reasons why we love Michael Gary Scott.
1. The way his office is decorated.
“World’s Best Boss” mug, an American flag, and some chattering teeth. Ever noticed that framed award hanging on the wall behind his chair? It’s not academically related – its a certificate of authenticity for owning a Seyko timepiece. Classic.
2. His ability to bring humor into situations.
Despite The Office being a hilarious show, it also can touch on some heavy topics. Mr. Scott might not handle them in the most appropriate of ways, but he knows how to make people laugh (whether or not they are laughing WITH him or AT him).
3. His love of parties.
Birthdays, Christmas, THE DUNDIES! He’s got The Party Planning Committee hard at work.
4. The genuine love he has for his employees
When he heard that Jim was in love with Pam…he told the whole office. But, he gave Jim really good advice, “never give up.” Jim took that to heart and even in the toughest of times he held onto the hope that he and Pam would end up together. Later in the series, Jim and Pam get married and have 2 adorable kids.
5. He is a very successful salesman
You wouldn’t guess it by the way he conducts himself in the workplace, but he gets the job done. Through witty words and the power of persuasion, he closes a lot more deals than you would think.
6. He wrote a screenplay called “Threat Level Midnight”
Agnet Michael Scarn takes on evil in this action-packed thriller. Characters include: Samuel (the butler), Catherine Zeta Jones, and Goldenface. Dying to know more? Check this out.
Meredith recently participated in a mission trip that served the village of San Mateo, Belize. Here is a summary of her experience:
My short time as a missionary down in Belize was awesome. Though the trip had its ups and downs, it was very rewarding.
I went with a group of people from my church and we all varied in age. As I sat in my aisle seat on row 22 aboard an American Airline, I thought about what to expect from this week. About 5 years ago, I had been on the same mission trip, but the dynamics were a lot different.
We worked at a school in San Mateo named Holy Cross Anglican School. The students were preschool age through 6th grade. This time I was focused on doing a lot more construction, rather than primarily interacting with the children. I enjoyed working with the precious kids, but I wanted to put my strength to the test. I was ready to get my hands dirty – both literally and figuratively.
The week flew by. I was helping with some larger construction projects and even getting to play with the kids a little bit after school. One moment that really touched me was when I first got to the school and was checking things out. A lot of things had changed, for the good thankfully, but one of the things that remained was a mural I painted five years ago. It was a little banged up, but still readable. I was so happy to see it was still there. A couple of the staff members asked me to retouch it, and retouch I did. I also found time to paint a new mural with the help of two friends.
It was nice to clear my head and help other people who were in need. Lately, I have been focusing on myself and my problems, when I should be thinking about others. This trip was awesome and I treasure the relationships that came out of it.

Welcome to Adultish, a resource for young twenty-somethings. What you have stumbled upon is a lifestyle blog that touches on life, travel, food and humor. It’s tough enough being thrown into the “real world” without a life jacket and we’re here to write about it every step of the way.
Older people look back at their twenties and become nostalgic. “You have your whole life ahead of you,” and “Enjoy that fast metabolism while it lasts!” While being a young professional is full of opportunity, it can also be really intimidating. Just remember, we have so much time to figure out what we want in life, it’s OK to make mistakes. Make those mistakes, learn from them, and move on.
Adultish is a product of two best friends both with mass communication degrees, laughing, stumbling and budgeting their way through the “real world.” Join us as we document the food we eat, the places we go and the laughs we have, all on a budget.
