In the lieu of turning 20, here are 20 things I have realized now that I am 20:
1. I'm not a teenager anymore...
I feel pretty old, I am not gonna lie.
2. But I'm still not 21 yet ...
Turning 20 is probably one of the most awkward things ever. You're not old enough to drink, but you're still old enough to be considered a young adult. It sucks.
3. YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.
Live life to the fullest, because you only got one to live. Unless you're Deadpool, of course.
4. Attitude plays into everything.
Watch that attitude. I didn't realize that attitude plays into everything until just recently.
5. I also still can believe college is almost half over.
I really could have sworn I just got into college not too long ago.
6. The adult life is closing up on me fast.
Do I have really have to adult? It sounds boring.
7. I think this means I am another year closer to death ...
Yeah, I don't need to be reminded of that.
8. Holy damn, high school was easy.
People don't realize how easy high school is until you get to college. High school was ridiculously easy.
9. No one is truly ready for college.
No matter what someone does to prepare, no one is ready for college. You just have to adapt to it.
10. I just realized it, but I am always changing.
Change is good. It means that you are adjusting to your new life.
11. Going to the gym is a necessity.
The only motivation I need is to remind myself that having a dad bod is really not that cool.
12. Life is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be.
Life doesn't get any easier, and I am honestly quite disappointed.
13. On top of that, life surprises me every single day.
I wish life was more predictable ... that way I knew what was coming.
14. Find something you are passionate about.
I learned this life lesson before college, and it continues to serve me well today.
15. Rejection hurts.
This is entirely an understatement.
16. However, you somehow get through it.
You get through it because we are stubborn and we don't ever want to give up.
17. Don't half-ass love.
Always give 100 percent and you'll have the best time of your life.
18. Take some chances.
Is it really a life worth living for if you didn't take any chances?
19. Life is short.
Do what you need to do, because life is a lot shorter than you think it is.
20. I hope my 20s are as amazing as it gets.
I heard the 20s are the best time of your life, I wonder if that's really true?
Yes, I am officially 20 years old. It kind of scares me, but at the same time it's quite exciting. I am excited for what is ahead of me and I cannot wait to see what I accomplish next!
