Your 20s are a wild time. In theory you’re a fully functioning adult. Well, you should be. In practice you spend an awful lot of time trying to remember what happened, because you are pretty convinced that a few days ago, you were worried about getting your high school diploma while planning your first trip without your parents. At least this generation is better at memes than we were, but let’s be fair: having Spongebob as an influence is helping a lot with that. And living in a constant state between realizing that you’re heading into a crippled economy and probably having a severe depression sure helps being creative. So let’s see what they have to tell about themselves. Enjoy!

there is no such thing as a “cool” 24 year old. there are 24 year olds who act like weird teenagers and 24 year olds who like, work at the bank. that’s it, there is no in between.

convinced getting married in your early 20s is just a fad thing because there can’t be this many people finding their soulmates on the Dahlonega campus of the University of North Georgia

Being in your early 20s is all about waking up gasping for air at 8am, rolling out of bed, having a quick cry in the shower before heading into your 9-5 job at a start up that spent more money on the basketball hoop than your annual salary
