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.
