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

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!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
