It's no secret that the third decade of an individual's life is referred to as their "odyssey years." However, not everyone might understand why. To that end, here are 20 reasons your 20s deserve to be considered the years of your Odyssey.

1. You're far away from home and no one back there seems to do anything but complain about the fact that you aren't present

2. Your friends eat weird plants that make them forgetful, forcing you to drag their sorry asses out of trouble

3. You mess with the wrong guy/gal and his/her hombres get after you

4. At least one god has it out for you

5. Your friends are literally a waste of air

6. Your friends start leaving and you never see them again, possibly because of cannibalism

7. Your remaining friends start getting really into things like wine and cheese, except instead of being classy sophisticates they're actually just pigs in human clothing

8. Your friends get into trouble at parties, and when you bail them out they hang around anyway

9. You meet people who are strangely hot but no good for you and you have to tie yourself down with ropes to make sure nothing bad happens

10. You get caught between two equally terrible choices, as if between a rock and a hard place, or between a six-headed monster and a swirling vortex of seawater

11. Your friends eat the wrong kind of burger and get punished for it

12. Your friends wash down that cow with too much of the wrong liquid and don't make it back

13. Now that you're friendless, you get stuck in a depressingly long relationship with someone you don't even like

14. You get offered immortality, but you turn it down

15. At least one god still hates you

16. You wake up naked in strange places

.

17. You hear music so good that you break down in tears and show yourself for who you really are

18. Even though you have enough money to afford a quality education, you still sometimes look like a homeless person

19. When you finally get home, the place is a wreck, yo fam is in trouble, and you have to hack your way through a bunch of mofos just to sleep in your own bed

20. You're a legendary hero who will be forever immortalized through the songs sung in your memory
