12 Reasons It Sucks To Be 20

1. You don't exactly know what you want to do with your life, but a part of you feels like you should have it all figured out by now. And that part of you haunts your dreams... "Get your life together," it says.


2. You're not 21. You're almost there though! Then you can finally stop asking your older friends to by you drinks.


3. By the time your 22 Taylor Swift's song will be out dated, so the phrase "I'm feeling 22" won't be cool anymore.


4. Your parents aren't as giving when it comes to money. So if you don't have a job I guess you better get one, or start selling plasma or something.


5. Your family stops caring about your birthdays. Birthday dinners will slowly become non-existent. But birthday texts are aaaall the rage when you get older.


6. You have to start paying for your own speeding tickets, parking tickets, concert tickets and any other tickets you may come across. No more reckless driving or spontaneous concerts for you.


7. Your parents start slowly making you pay your phone bill, car insurance, and other adult expenses you have. If this hasn't happened to you yet, be on the look out for it. Don't let these bills sneak up on you.


8. You're caught between living the single life and finding someone to settle down with.


9. You know you should get a better paying job, but minimum wage and a discount on food is keeping you cuffed to your food service job.


10. At family gatherings you're too old for the kids table, but too young for the adult table. Makes you feel a bit insignificant, huh?


11. You don't understand why anyone would ever want to be an adult... Jokes on you! You thought becoming an adult would be so much fun!


12. Kids think you're an adult and adults think you're still a kid. But all you want to do is watch Netflix and eat food, who cares what you are.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
