Being in your early 20s is an exciting time, but also a hugely transitional period.

You go from leaving the comfortable rhythm of school into the working world, and with that comes a lot of change. While you may feel that you’re still mentally a teenager, you’re growing up, and even the subtlest of signs prove that to be true.

So, here are 10 of those growing up “red flags” that may be the most relatable ones of all:

1. Your sibling, your cousin or even best friend’s sibling, who’s not that much older than you, is getting married.

It’s probably one the first times someone you were very close with and thought of as a peer is tying the knot.

2. You’re starting to admit that sometimes, you just don’t feel like going out.

There’s no more FOMO, and frankly, you’ve come to cherish some R&R.

3. You love going shopping for home décor.

And you don’t even have to worry about facing the self-esteem crisis that happens once in a blue moon when shopping for clothes.

4. And you could spend hours in the grocery store.

You’ve also made the mistake of going grocery shopping when hungry.

5. You’ve overcome the struggle of cutting down your resume to one page on many occasion.

You’re still getting used to having all this work experience, and it takes some skill to vet through it all and decide what’s worth mentioning.

6. You can remember 10 years ago scarily well.

A decade sounds like a really long time, and yet you still have strong memories of yourself back then, highlighting just how long you’ve been a cognitively aware human being.

7. You don’t like sleeping in later than 10 or 10:30 a.m.

It’s not that you don’t have the capability to snooze until the afternoon, but you see the value in getting your day started earlier.

8. You’ve had to look up what some new acronym in an Instagram comment means.

Face it – you’re getting older, and it’s hard to keep up with the lingo that younger generations are creating.

9. You’ve forgotten the name of an elementary school teacher for a minute.

It probably comes back to you, but it’s still crazy to think that lower school is no longer at the forefront of your memory.

10. You’ve witnessed fashion trends from you childhood come back in style

Think the choker craze, a staple of the late 90s and early 2000s that was revived just a couple years ago.

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.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
