    If you’re an average non-halal millennial or as I’d like to call you, a dear friend, you’ve done this hot mess thing long enough that you’ve actually turned it into an art. Here are 16 signs that you’re a functional hot mess.

     

     

    1. You rage all night but you’re the first in the office… because you didn’t sleep

     

    no sleep

     

     

    2. You can out party any 18-year-old and that’s a proud moment for anyone in their mid- to late-20s

     

    18 year old

     

     

    3. You’ve woken up next to a half eaten shwarma and congratulate yourself on getting a different serving of protein

     

    shwarma

     

     

    4. You forget to answer 15 missed calls and messages but inform everyone you’re still alive via Twitter

     

    twitter

     

     

    5. You kinda remember everyone you met last night but not by their name…

     

    aquar

     

     

    6. Before you go out, you set out a fat bottle of water, hair tie, and painkillers for when you get home… because you already know

     

    adulting

     

     

    7. You’re not sure what happened last night but you probably had a good time because your pockets are empty

     

    broke

     

     

    8. You call your parents before you go out because you can’t be bothered by that while throwing back shots

    9. You probably don’t know the name of the person you’ve been talking to for an hour but you’ve managed to snag a business meeting with them

     

    priorities

     

     

    10. You realize your flight is actually at 2 AM not 2 PM hours before your flight and still somehow make it… but forget to pack underwear

    11. You’re three hours late but at least you made it

     

    mast

     

     

    12. You know enough big words to help you escape a conversation with a loser

     

    loser

     

     

    13. You’ve convinced your boss that a mistake you made was due to your client’s stupidity

     

    boss

     

     

    14. You’ve managed to make sweatpants look business casual

    15. You rely on Snapchat to help you recall what exactly happened last night

    16. You check your phone and realized you accidentally texted your ex last night… letting them know how bad they were in bed
