All of these Buzzfeed articles got me thinking about my 20s, what I like about them and what I actually miss about college. Then it dawned on me, my likes and dislikes all sounded vaguely familiar...enjoy.
1. You're on a (air quotes) "budget." Money is actually decent, and you find yourself sitting comfortably in between Ramen Noodles and Grey Goose, but leaning more towards Grey Goose when you can swing it. Thanks mom and dad for funding Emerging Adulthood.
2. You have to juggle family time and friends time.
"It's Saturday morning mom, I got in at 3 a.m. and NO I don't want to go to Ikea with you! What? You'll buy me new furniture? Okay where's the Advil..."
3. Suggesting movie/fro yo/random sober activity nights doesn't make you lame. No explanation needed, we've all been there. It's become socially acceptable again to hit up your friend for his parent's media room like, every other weekend.
4. Organized sports are cool again. Kickball anyone? Or softball might be more your style.
5. People actually go on dates.
Remember Starbucks hang outs in high school? Well now they're called coffee dates, and yes - they are real.
6. Your friends live more than 5 miles away.
16 year old self: What? You don't want to hang out because your parents have the car? 24 year old self: What you don't want to hang out because of gas prices and the long drive? Not so different.
7. You're well on your way to changing the world.
Whether or not it was to get into college or to become the next 30 Under 30, we know your motives.
8. You can be anonymous at the gym and choose to workout at a different place than your last hookup. I know, shocking. You still need to don Lululemon of course, don't get crazy.
9. You actually go to family events now.College is no longer the safe excuse it once was. And no you cannot hit on the hot 13 year olds at your cousin's Bar Mitzvah.
10. You have to plan your evening activities.AKA no 10pm Saturday night frat party texts, no Greek Life mixers and no group projects to do. And it's harder than it sounds. Movie night, anyone?
