It's obvs important to check in our our bodies regularly, but that doesn't make going to the gynecologist less awkward. We try to be adults about it, but some of us are less confident with the idea of someone poking around down there than others. After all, who knows what they might find, and what we might discover along the way about ourselves? Even though gynos always keep it cool and professional, many women still feel nervous about the prospect of going to the gyno. The women of Twitter are sharing their inner thoughts about gyno appointments, and many have become really creative about it. If you're one of these women, just know you're not alone based on the hilarious tweets below. 

Many Instagram influencers out there make some serious bank, but that doesn't stop us from making fun of them from time to time. It's pretty clear that they set unreasonable expectations for not only their followers but also for themselves. While they definitely glamourize the aesthetic of our feeds, there are some days we can definitely do without them. At the same time, becoming an Instagram influencer and living out these bod and boujee fantasies looks like it would be pretty darn good too. If you're an aspiring influencer or just another internet troll who gets a kick out of making fun of the influencers on Twitter, scroll down for the best Instagram tweets from this week. 

Life can get pretty demanding, which is why it's important to have a rocking skincare routine. Your roommates may be totally psycho, your company may be withholding that well-deserved promotion, your f*ckboy may be dodging commitment, and the waves might be completely flooding the shore, but with a skincare routine, at least you'll still have flawless skin. The people of Twitter are well-aware of the importance of a skincare routine. While they go through the motions of their own routines, they still can't help but make fun of it on the platform. Scroll down for the funniest tweets about people's skincare routines. 

Leading a healthy lifestyle sounds easy in theory, but when it comes to the actual practice, it's not that simple. Fruits and veggies are pretty good, but carbs are objectively better, and this is a basic truth. How are we expected to cut down on pizza, pasta, fries, candy, beer, and more?! This healthy lifestyle demands too much of us, and the people of Twitter get the struggle. They share their deep relationship with carbs on a daily basis, and their thoughts couldn't be more relatable. Scroll down to spiritually consume all of the carbs... and inevitably physically consuming them yourself too. 

Life gets whack, and that's okay. Sometimes it gets so whack that we straight up can't handle everything coming our way. Even though we need to get something done, we may just not be in it mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Much like napping, breakdowns are part of the human experience, and you just gotta embrace it. The people of Twitter have been super open about their mental breakdowns this week, and naturally, we documented the best 'mental breakdown' tweets. Check 'em out below.
