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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
