Thoughts Of Being An Almost 20-Year-Old


  • Am I really going to be a whole two decades old?
  • That’s like 1/5 of 100, ½ away from 40, and 10 years from 30!
  • Great, basically I’m almost 100.
  • My life is over.
  • This escalated rather quickly.
  • *spends most of bank account on cute dress to make me feel better*



  • One more year closer until I can get into the KK on a Friday night.
  • Not that I would ever try to go to the KK any other day right now…
  • Can’t wait for no more butterflies when the bouncer asks for a second form.
  • Should I be more excited about other things when I turn 21?
  • I should probably start prioritizing more important things in my life.


  • *looks in those kind of mirrors that show every pore* Do I actually look like this to other people?
  • Do I really have a pimple…again?
  • Aren’t they magically supposed to vanish and never come back before I turn 20?
  • Welcome back “still awkward phase” but now I’ll be in my 20’s.
  • I promise to never look in this mirror again. *looks in amplified mirror immediately after*
  • How did these lines on my forehead just appear?
  • Is it too early to start using wrinkle cream?
  • Plan of how to steal mom’s $100 face lotion without her noticing.


  • *checks Facebook-see’s new relationship post” OMG!! Someone a grade above me just got engaged!!

“WHAT THE HELL!!!” “SO happy for you guys!” (My reply to post)

  • On the brightside this does make me feel less crazy about creating a wedding themed Pinterest board.
  • But seriously how do you know this is the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with?
  • I don’t even remember the last date I was on…
  • Or If I should choose Qdoba or Chipotle for dinner.
  • Thanks Facebook newsfeed, now I’m questioning if I should be in a relationship by now?
  • Okay.. So if I’m a sophomore.. two more years plus a semester equals two in a half more years to find a guy to date.
  • That should be enough time, right?
  • Okay maybe my goal will be to go on dates.
  • Actually a more realistic goal: One date Alexa, just one.


  • Does Netflix count as my boyfriend?

I hangout with it…

Laugh at it…

Pay for it…

  • I think I need to cancel my Netflix subscription and get a job before junior year.
  • Maybe I should get a job that relates to my major so it will good on my resume.
  • Ugh, but then I’d have to do a real interview and wear grown up clothes.
  • If I want a good job in the real world I should start looking right now.. after one more show
  • *looks up how to become a billionaire without graduating* “Mark Zuckerberg becomes billionaire at 23”
  • *looks up what happens if you drop out of college* “Homeless”
  • Yep, definitely not dropping out of school, I LOVE YOU MADISON!
  • Okay so I have three years to figure my s*** out and graduate and not end up on the streets.


  • Turning 20 isn’t even that old
  • I guess I can figure all this out after I graduate

*sits at kids table for thanksgiving*

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.
