I'm young, you're young, we just finished college or we got kicked out into this cold and cruel world known as "Adulthood." I mean, c'mon... It sucks. There's all of this hate-mail you get demanding money, NOBODY smiles at you anymore, and there's always an alarm clock going off somewhere so you can wake up and go to work. What is this nonsense?

Anyways, here's 50 thoughts New Adults have literally every day! (Aka Me. Seriously. This is basically about me, and what my mind thinks about this CRAP!) Also, Liz Lemon is basically my twin, so like... As told by Liz Lemon... or whatever.
