Your 20′s

Your 20′s

Ah, your twenties. A decade marinaded in bad decisions, first “real” jobs, and identity crises. A time seasoned by all-day hangovers, pregnancy scares, and horror stories from the online dating trenches. Years in which we ask ourselves important questions like: “What am I going to do with my life?,” “Who am I?” and “Am I going to Coachella this year?” Us 20-somethings, not yet shackled by the chains of adulthood, are free to Tinder, Insta, and Pin as we please. “YOLO” is our motto. “Girls” and “Workaholics” are our heroes.

I’ve lived in a foreign country; graduated from college with high marks; and recovered from months of bed rest and resultant mind-numbing solitude.
