12 Times You're Actually a 12-Year-Old

I won't ever grow up!

12 Times You're Actually a 12-Year-Old

Sure, you're a college student. And yes, your birth certificate may prove that you're 20 years old, but deep down in your heart are there ever those moments when you feel like you're actually only 12? You're not alone, as I'm sure that the author of this list (*cough, cough, me*) and many other people can relate to these things:

1. When staying home alone still makes you feel really cool.

Even though you're just sitting and watching netflix.

2. When you say "Let me ask my parents..."

Cause they're still kinda the keeper of your schedule and still make the rules.

3. When you're still offended that Justin Bieber stole the nickname "JB" from the Jonas Brothers.

Don't even get me started.

4. When you're disgusted with the quality of Disney Channel shows now...

... not because you're concerned for today's youth but because you can't enjoy the channel yourself now.

5. When you're convinced you could live off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Add a glass of milk and some type of cheese cracker, and you've got a gourmet meal.

6. When you still don't understand taxes and mortgages and retirement.

That stuff doesn't apply to me yet, right??

7. When you still think you can own like 5 businesses, have a family, be the President, and save the world all at once.

Dream big! But then reality hits and all you really want to do is nap.

8. When you're supposed to be babysitting, but you really are just genuinely playing.

Barbies never get old. Or nerf guns.

9. When you can't really imagine being an adult.

Eh, no. Can't see it. Not a good fit for me.

10. When sharp scissors and knives still intimidate you a bit.

They actually trust me with these things now?!

11. When you feel you have to prove your knowledge and strength to four-year-olds.

"What's 4+4? Haha, bet you don't know it but I do!!"

12. When you want to be completely independent, but there's just those things that only Mom can do right.

"Mom, how much detergent should I put in again?"

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
