If You're Twenty Something, You Need To Read This
I'm feeling 'giphy' again. I find them weirdly satisfying, so I'm sharing what life feels like at the raw age of 26. Can any of my 20+ somethings relate?
1. CAREER
Expectation
You're supposed to be far in your career by now with like a six figure salary. I mean, you're destined to be living your life like Taylor Swift.
Reality
You're right out of graduate school, applying for 100 jobs a week, and still waiting for HR to get back to you... Question. Do they really read every application they get?
2. SEX APPEAL
Expectation
You're channeling that "I'm wife material" vibe and letting the world know "I'm in my prime."
Reality
Sometimes it's just way too hard to be you...
3. MOTHER NATURE CALLS
Expectation
Being a Mom like...
Reality
Being a mom like...
4. HOME
Expectation
Having your own place and designing everything to go so perfectly with like... everything. And parties for days. Just like a fairytale.
Reality
Living back home with the parents (because you're jobless and homeless) waiting for someone to be impressed with your Master's degree... Feeling just a tad stuck. Thank the Lord for blogging.
5. MARRIAGE
Expectation
Flaunting your engagement ring, posting your couples photoshoot all over Instagram, wedding planning, buying a house, maybe even having cute his and her pillows... You know, the whole frenzy over the perfect romance these days.
Reality
Swiping left left left... Where are the good ones? Still looking.
6. ADULTING
Expectation
You have your life together like ...
Reality
Nope, still figuring it all out ... But no shame in that.
(Honestly, even though it's all a work in progress, I'm loving every minute of it).
