Fact: Everyone's Early 20's Are Described In These Perfect GIFs
Newscult

You know what it's like to be in your twenties. You're living it right now and it's a crazy, beautiful, interesting, exciting and down-right painful experience. But maybe these GIFS will make you feel a little bit better!


When you see a bunch of people you went to high school with get married.

Uh . . . when did all of this happen?

. . . Or having children.

I thought that being in your twenties was the time to have fun, be young and figure your life out and take risks and make new memories. No?

And you're over here watching Netflix and feeling oddly content with that.

But at the same time, everyone seemingly getting married makes you feel like this:

I'm going to adopt a gazillion cute little kitties and that will be that.

When your relatives ask if you're seeing someone.

You've asked this on Christmas and on Easter. No. The answer is still no.

"How many years of college do you have left?"

Just thinking about how many years I have left makes me want to stab a fork in my eye. So thanks, for reminding me. And the fact that you keep asking me, makes me feel like I should be embarrassed or ashamed for having so many years left.




Being broke 24/7


You get that paycheck, you pay bills, and then SHAZAM. Just like magic, it has disappeared.



And still obligated to go out with your friends.


*Goes out and tries to have fun even though is completely and utterly broke*


But sometimes you want to avoid human interaction.


So. Much. Energy.



When you end up at the grocery store, you buy snacks and junk instead of "real food"


Then you feel really guilty afterwards . . . and not to mention sick to your stomach after devouring an entire package of Oreo's dipped in Nutella.



All of these adult expectations are being thrown at you.


Make it stop . . . please.


You're scared you're going to end up homeless and in debt after college.


You knew college and adulthood was expensive. But all of a sudden, the realization really hits you. And then you've called up your mom sobbing on the phone, telling her that you're going to end up homeless from being into too much debt from school.



Teenagers start to annoy the crap out of you.


Like a switch of a button, you feel older, crabbier, and basically an old person in a twenty-something's body. Even though you were a teenager not that long ago, you find yourself easily irritated by sixteen year old's who think they're all that.



Sometimes you're just indecisive about your new adult life.


Do I want to do this? Do I want to do that? UGH, I don't know! I'll just stare at this wall . . .



When you check your bank account:


Yeah . . . enough said on this one.



You start to gain weight.


For most of you, (for me anyway) you don't acquire the teenage body anywhere, where you had a super fast metabolism. Everything starts to feel "bigger", and it's normal to feel self conscious of your body.



Basically . . . this is you:


Good luck, young twenty-somethings, and may you succeed in life!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
