Being 20-almost-21 is such a fun time. You're at the perfect age when you get to be like Khalid said: young, dumb and broke. But, also, you don't have to take anything seriously. Of course, it's good to know when it is a good time to mess around and have fun, but it's also true that knowing when it's time to be serious and professional is important as well.

Not only is being this age fun, it is also totally awkward for some. People you've gone to school with since your elementary days are now either engaged and in the middle of planning their picture perfect wedding, some are happily married, some already have kids and are becoming the epitome of a suburban mom, while others are still in school and figuring out who they are and who they want to be. It truly is weird, you have people who expect you to have your life together and all planned out, which make the people who understand that it's a lot for someone to just completely know what they want to do and know exactly who they want to be in life. That's a lot of pressure on a person if you really sit and think about it.

Myself, I am 20 years old, I work two jobs, and I'm a full-time student. Yes, I have a goal in mind for my future and I know what I want the end result to be, but I have no idea how I'm going to achieve it exactly. I'm just going with the flow and hoping that I learn what I need to know as I go.

I enjoy hanging out with my friends doing things in the spur of the moment, partying whenever I want, and going in the direction that the wind takes me. I can't picture myself at 20 years old settling down with someone and planning on starting a family! Don't get me wrong, I do want that. Don't we all? But now is not the time at the moment, more like later on in life, and there is nothing wrong if that is what you want. It's just not for me and that's ok.

I feel like this is what makes the millennial generation so unique... We don't have to follow a certain status quo, we are free to follow our own path and build our own future without the stress or judgment of not following the "traditional" ways.
