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.
