Beyond the obvious not-being-able-to-drink reason, 20 is one of the worst ages of your life. Here are 20 reasons why being 20 sucks:

1. Being 20 means being an adult but not being treated as an adult.

2. You cannot legally buy alcohol.

3. You cannot legally drink alcohol.

4. You are no longer a teenager.

5. You’re broke.

6. You can’t find a job.

7. The job you do find sucks.

8. More freedom comes with more responsibility.

9. No one takes you seriously.

10. You’re an adult but you’re “just a kid”.

11. You want the privileges (doing whatever you want) of an adult but not the responsibilities (paying bills).

12. You have to work (get good grades/ make money) in order to play (go-out/ buy whatever you want).

13. You’re seen as old or you’re seen as a baby (depending on who you are talking to) – no in-between, which is exactly what you are, in-between a child and an adult (a young adult).

14. You’re at your awkward teenage to adult physical transition.

15. People either think you’re 25 or 17.

16. You want to eat whatever you want but notice whatever you inhale is starting to go to your thighs.

17. You want to be single and “have fun”.

18. Never mind, you want someone to cuddle with and lay next to at night.

19. You don’t know what you want to do with your life but you have to know what you want to do with your life.

20. You miss being a kid, but you want to be treated as an adult.

However, just because it is the worst age of your life does not necessarily mean it is the worst year of your life. Make the most of being in-between a child and an adult. Be a hard-working independent young person. Be a crazy, young, wild teenager while you still have the chance. After all, part of you still wants to be a kid with no responsibilities and part of you wants to have the freedom as an adult. At this point in time, the world is yours – make of it what you will.
