The Good And The Bad About Being In Your 20s
Samantha Hinds

Being in your 20s is hard sometimes. You most likely have a degree, but no idea what to do with it. You are still trying to figure out what you want to do with you life. There are a few that have it all together, but the rest of us are still struggling with life. It is so expensive to live on your own, so these days, kids are moving back in with mom and dad after college until they figure things out.

But along with the long list of struggles of being in your 20s, there are some good things too! So, here is a list of some of the good, the bad, and the plain old relatable things that all of us 20-something year-old's know to be true.

1. You're old enough to drink

2. You're young and in your "prime"

3. You're finally out in the real world

4. You're still trying to figure things out

5. You're broke

6. You have to be an adult

7. You're an adult, but there are some basic life things you still don't know

8. You have big dreams

9. But, no idea how you're going to get there

10. No one is there to tell you eat all your veggies

11. This is the time to date whoever you like before life gets too serious

12. Sometimes you have to admit defeat and go back home to mom and dad

13. But, eventually we do make it on our own

So, keep going, life will get easier and better -- maybe. I make no promises.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
