I'm done learning and I'm ready to go back home and be unemployed.

I'm guessing most of the world has been through this, and it's been a meaningful milestone in many of my friends' lives: turning 20. By the time you read this, I will have completed that task.

In memory of the 20 years I have lived in this simulated reality we call "life," here are 20 things I genuinely hate now that I'm 20.

1. Everyone my age.

I've grown up, but no one else has.

2. Going to school.

I'm done learning and I'm ready to go back home and be unemployed.

3. Popular music.

I've hated this for a while, maybe since birth, but now it's getting hard to believe that the people who are singing/rapping nowadays are actually adults.

4. People telling me I have no right to call myself an adult.

Yeah, Mom, this one's about you.

5. My more successful friends.

Like the one who basically owns multiple Dominos stores. You know who you are and so does everyone else.

6. My past favorite foods.

Flamin' Hot Cheetos want to burn my heart to pieces. And they have.

7. All my old clothes.

Why do I have so many "Lego Movie" T-shirts??

8. Shopping for new clothes.

Being an adult and still shopping in the junior's section feels like being a teenager still shopping in the children's section. Wrong and kind of gross.

9. People with meaningless advice.

Oh, really, I should "forge my own path???" Wow, what an original thought.

10. People who judge me for playing Dungeons & Dragons.

As if you don't secretly want to join.

11. When my little brother wants me to play cops and robbers.

There's a group of kids right over there, but no, I'm the chosen one.

12. Workplace and classroom interaction.

No, I don't want to hear about whatever you did on 6th Street this weekend and no, I definitely don't want to hear your newborn child's name.

13. Talking to someone on the phone while they're talking to someone else who's actually physically near them.

Rude.

14. Birthday parties.

Why celebrate your life only once a year? Celebrate your life every day. Or celebrate your life no days. I really don't care.

15. Odyssey listicles that add no meaning or purpose to anyone's life.

You're probably only reading this because you know me, and isn't that kind of sad on my part?

16. Lightbulbs that are half-lit.

Make a decision.

17. Hearing Disney songs in any context.

Except for the "Tangled" soundtrack.

18. Strangers.

Especially friendly ones. There's no way you do or should care how I'm feeling today.

19. ...

This space was intentionally left blank.

20. ^ Writer's block.

Will this be a lifelong problem? We'll find out if I make it to the end of my life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
