Growing up is hard. There's no question about it, you're expected to know everything about the world, things no one has ever taught you. Sure, you know the quadratic equation, or you can label the element on the periodic table, but did anyone ever teach you how to do taxes?
1. Credit? What is that? How do I get some of it? And can we share?
So, do I need a credit card to get credit? And how will credit help me later?
2. The dreaded 'what are you doing with your summer?' question.
I've applied to eight places and haven't heard from anyone, but I'm still hopeful...kinda.
3. How do I do laundry? It's been a year, and I ruin something every load.
I never thought turning clothes pink was an actual problem until I did three times.
4. That cringing feeling you get every time you swipe your debit card.
Praying I don't get declined when I'm ordering a cup of coffee because I'm that broke.
5. Why am I getting fat?
Oh ya, I don't have the metabolism of a 12-year-old boy anymore and actually have to watch what I eat, great.
6. Is my resume formatted right?
Wait, only one page? And why can't I put my High School achievements on it?
7. I have a loan, but I don't know how to pay it.![]()
When do I start paying that again? And how does interest work?
8. When do I buy a house and how do I buy a house?
Can't I just live with my parents?
9. Don't make me go to the doctors alone.
Seriously, I'm terrified of the doctors office, and I need someone to hold my hand.
10. What is all of this paperwork?![]()
I don't even know my social security number or my family medical history, I just came because I'm sick.
11. My car has a flat tire.....
Am I supposed to change it myself? Cause I don't know how to do that, or can I call triple A?
12. Actually, anytime anything breaks.
13. When someone asks you what you're doing with your life.
Yes, I know I don't have a plan, but I'm only 20, cut me some slack.
