As my 20th birthday quickly approaches, it's hard to believe how fast time flies! And it's pretty scary that I'm going to be "in my twenties" after it seemed like I was a teenager forever. Here are 20 thoughts I'm having before my 20th birthday!

1. I'll finally no longer be a teenager!

2. Shoot, that means I'll have to get a grown-up job in like a few years.

3. How much longer am I on Mom and Dad's insurance?

4. The high schoolers are children now. Are you sure you are old enough to be in high school?

5. People a few years older than me are getting engaged and married. Is this real life?

6. Oh my god, I am two decades old. This is pretty huge. I mean, it's not 18 and not 21, but still, I'm an adult.

7. There are like zero songs about turning 20.

8. I can't believe I've been in school since 2001. That's three-quarters of my life.

9. I'm as old as the Macarena.

10. I feel so old, yet I'm still so young. I don't really feel like an adult.

11. I'm really bad at adulting.

12. Twenty-year-olds in real life look nothing like 20-year-olds on TV. Majorly disappointed.

13. All these celebrities are now becoming younger then me and wildly successful.

14. I'm starting to not recognize celebrities.

15. Why aren't I rich and famous already? I'm aging as we speak.

16. I'm not looking forward to mortgages and 401ks.

17. What's a 401k?

18. I really hate this part-time job. But it's only temporary until I get a career. But I still really hate this part-time job.

19. One more year until I'm 21!

20. One more year until I'm 21.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
