Being A 20-Year-Old As Told By Orange Is The New Black

People Magazine

In about a week I will no longer be 20 and I will be entering into the wonderful life of a 21 year old. Turning 21 will be monumental; and a lot will change, but my year as a 20 year old was a whirlwind of emotions. The OITNB crew helped me to sum up the hardships of being a 20 year old.

You have to start thinking about your future.

A career is something you have to worry about.

You have to start caring about what your social media looks like for future employers.

You can no longer blame mood swings and irrational outbursts on being young.

You want the privileges of an adult but not the responsibilities.

You are no longer the cool and new girl when you go out.

You are old and the young girls are taking all the attention.

You start seeing wedding pictures of people you went to high school with but your just like...

You have to give some college guys a chance because marriage will be happening in the next 10 years.
Classes and projects get a whole lot more difficult.
You realize many things about yourself and the kind of person you are.

You think you have just about been through it all and life is entirely too hard (AKA we have perfected how to be drama queens).

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
