Just recenetly I turned 20 and in leaving my teens I realized that being 20 is quite weird. So here are 20 weird things about turning twenty:

1. You are no longer a teenager, but not quite an adult.

2. You still can't legally drink.

3. Age differences now seem much more significant.

4. People are more willing to drink with you (It hasn't stopped you so far).

5. There are celebrities and geniuses your age and younger who are worth and have accomplished more

6. You've been an adult for two years but are you really?

7. People you went to high school with are married now.

8. People you've known your entire life have joined unions.

9. Kids younger than you have three kids.

10. I say kids because you still are a kid.

11. Do any of your friends really know how to adult?

12. Your ancestors were married by now...you think you should be too but like, no.

13. If you go to college you probably still live at home with on and off periods.

14. You still think grocery shopping is weird but you still do it.

15. You finally know "the ropes".

16. You wanna start dating other people in your twenties.

17. (But you still can't legally drink).

18. Your whole birthday is just weird now... you feel old.

19. You're getting closer to your dreams!

20. You've been alive for two whole decades, lived through four presidents and that's weird.

You feel like an adult but you still aren't sure if you qualify. This whole age is just being stuck in the middle, but you're finally out of your teens and much closer to your dreams. Just another awkward stage to get through. You got this, I believe in you lovely. Rock your twenties.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
