22 Things I Still Don't Know At 22

As a senior in college, I should know a decent amount of stuff, right? Well, as I near 22, I realize that there's a lot that I don't know yet, and that's OK. I am still young and learning as I go. It seems as though the world wants us to know everything, that it is so important to know how to do certain things, as well as to have our lives planned out. Well, newsflash, it's OK to not know everything. In honor of turning 22, here's a list of 22 things I still don't know.

1. How to do my taxes.

S.O.S. please help me!

2. How to change a tire (in a real-life situation)

Sure, I learned how to do this in driver's ed, but do you actually expect me to remember this when I'm on the side of the freeway? That's why I have AAA.

3. How to do a handstand.

I'll probably never be able to do this, TBH.

4. Where I'll be in five years.

Fun to imagine, difficult to actually know.

5. How to make a pie.

This seems unnecessarily difficult, but I still want to learn.

6. How to grill burgers.

Probably easier than I think it actually is.

7. How to use Tinder.

I'm not even joking.

8. How to make coffee (not using a Keurig).

Again, not even joking.

9. How to take a full shot in one go.

This is something I'm not too concerned about mastering.

10. How to surf.

Hang ten?

11. How to photoshop pictures.

The closest I get to this is a really good filter on Instagram.

12. Where I want to live.

I'll go anywhere with an opportunity.

13. How to crochet.

This will come in handy if I move somewhere cold.

14. How to budget a paycheck.

College budget: food, tuition, bars.

15. How to efficiently use LinkedIn.

I know, I'm a n00b.

16. How to dive off a diving board.

Seriously, I can't do it.

17. How to tease hair.

You'd think I would know how to do this after being a cheerleader for six years.

18. How to take the perfect selfie.

Kim K, teach me your ways!!!

19. Where Carmen Sandiego is in the world.

But really, where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

20. How to properly set a table.

I know there are two forks, but I don't know where they go.

21. How to jump a car.

Again, learned this in driver's ed, but I don't remember how to do it.

22. What someone has to do to become a Real Housewife.

Asking for a friend...

Sure, I may not know these things now, but give me some time and experience. That's what growing up is about, right?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
