Chapter 20

I'd like to tell you who I am, but I'm still in the midst of figuring that out myself.

Chapter 20
Lianna Pilcher

“Nothing will ruin your 20’s more than thinking you should have your life together already”

If life were a book, the chapters containing the years of your 20’s would inevitably be filled with the most growth, success, achievement, loss, happiness, sadness, and maybe even life. The years surrounding your 20’s encompass your development from a child to an adult, whatever that hell that means anyway.

Allow me to introduce myself. Hi! I’m Lianna! I’m currently a junior at Winona State University, pursuing a major of Psychology, with a minor in criminal justice. I suppose I could be considered pretty basic. I love coffee, I spend a majority of my time complaining about the studying I should be doing for college, and if I’m having a bad day shower me with chocolate and puppies and we can call it good. Although my basic qualities may fool you, I hope in my writings you find yourself relating to the words I let fall into this world’s lap. Through my own experiences thus far my 20’s have been filled with unforeseen changes, and obstacles pushing me a little farther into adulthood than maybe my comfort zone would like to allow. With each push I have felt my personal bubble grow thinner and thinner.

This period of life could best be defined in my words as a closed note test on content the teacher hasn’t covered yet. Allow me to provide you with some notes through this journey that is my blog. Things are going to be exciting, scary, happy, maybe tragic, and ultimately unapologetically real.

If life were a book, your 20’s would be the chapter you’ll never forget. We are all the author of our experiences, let’s make a chapter worth remembering. I can’t wait to see where this journey leads.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
