This Saturday on November 11th, I turned 20. And honestly, that new age still isn't kicking in for me yet because I will always be a teenager at heart. I am still going to remain as my loud and crazy self because me being a new age will not change my personality.

If any sitcom character feels my pain of growing up, it's Winston Schmidt from the TV show "New Girl." He is a man living in Los Angeles in his mid-thirties who just wants to get through the hard reality of the real world. He does that successfully by staying true to himself and not acting like he is in his mid-thirties and that is how I want to succeed in life as well.

3. When someone tells you that they know what it's like to grow up:

4. When someone tries to explain to you that everyone has to grow up:

5. When you obsess over the littlest things like a little kid does:

6. When you are trying to speak "adult" language:

7. When you realize that you are supposed to be #adulting but you just don't want to:

8. When you are trying to sound serious but your childlike word choices totally change the meaning:

9. When people are talking about how you are no longer a teenager:

10. But you and all of your friends and family know that you are still young at heart despite how old you are:

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.
