When You're The 20 Something Ready To Skip The 20 Somethings
Google

Mostly every teenager is awaiting the day they turn 21, when they are finally an adult. Myself and the very few others couldn't have cared less about turning 21. We all do things differently, some enjoy ringing in their adulthood with multiple bottles of alcohol at a bar late at night but this girl likes her early bedtime and enjoyed ringing in adulthood with my parents and my one closest friend while the sun was still up. Now that 21 has set in and I'm officially a real adult I am ready to actually be a real adult. Don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly ready to be at the stage tomorrow but I'm not gonna hate it when the time does come. Sometimes I feel as if I were born to just be retired with a good book in hand on a beach somewhere. Here are some ways you know you were meant to skip the 20 somethings.

1. You aren't the party kid

8 o'clock comes around and you're ready for bed, I mean ready. It's the best part of the day, where you can put on comfy clothes and turn on the most recent Netflix binge and snuggle up with a tub of ice cream. Probably after a hot bubble bath.

2. You have your wedding planned out

Not that you want to get married tomorrow or anytime soon but you have it all planned out down to the napkin color. Mostly, you want to have the wedding for all of the very cool kitchen ware you will receive.

3. You can't wait to have mom friends

Having mommy and me classes sounds like the most fun to you. You can't wait to discuss the latest mommy trends with you're mom friends while your kids play with theirs on a play ground somewhere.

4. You have a very long list of baby names

The list goes on and on. Foreign names, names from the 50's, popular names from hit movies, names of your favorite celebrities. Can't forget to work in some family names in there somewhere. At the rate that you're at you might need to have at least 12 kids, but that's totally okay with you, the more the merrier right?

5. You find yourself bringing the topics up in conversation with friends that actually want to enjoy their 20's

It's hard to relate to a story of a wild night out when you're response is, "Oh that sounds fun, I was thinking of naming my baby that!" after hearing a story of your friends new crazy friend. Talking about house design, bridesmaids dresses colors, and career choices are your favorite type of conversation.

6. Child Psychology class is your highest grade

Is it even considered a credited class when you are taking it for the sole reason of bettering your future parenting skills?

7. When shopping you find yourself in the baby section more than ones that interest you

I mean come on, anything tiny is instantly more adorable. OK, I have no excuses.

8. You're mom is your best friend

You want to learn everything you can from her, you ask her question about what kind of books she read you when you were little, whether she let you have a pacifier or not. I mean who else to ask these questions to other than someone who created such a great human.

9. Books are your best friend

A good day for you is somewhere reading a good book, away from your cell phone or the real world. Just you and the book.

10. You're more than ready to decorate a home

Sometimes this is all you can think about.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods.
