Entering your twenties can be the most exciting and terrifying time of your life. At first, you're pumped because you're one step closer to adulthood. Then you wake up one morning, and adult life hits you in the face. Suddenly, you have bills to pay and you can never get enough sleep.
You may find yourself wondering 'Is it OK to be thinking what I'm thinking?' and 'Does sleeping away the weekend make me lame?'
If you're in your twenties right now and find yourself relating to this, odds are you've experienced one or more of these thoughts.
1. I’ve been out of high school for how many years now?
