Big 2-6!

Last year was the Big 2-5 and I thought that was a big deal. 

Yeah turning 25 was something pretty impressive but you know what’s not impressive, how much I have aged in the past year!! 365 days have gone by, but it feels more like 1,658 days have gone by – that number is totally random, stop trying to do the math. The point is that after you leave college, after you have the fun in your first few years of being 21+, it LITERALLY all goes downhill. Yeah I can rent a car now – whoop whoop! But other than that what am I looking forward too?

I am officially over the hump and now in the later part of my twenties – this is a huge milestone because I now, by unwritten laws, have to stop being trashy when I go out and have to start being classy. No more Friday nights where I go out and drink way more than I should and come home and eat way more pizza than I should. Now, are the Saturday nights spent at a bar with friends until about 11pm when the young twenty something’s come in – by the time they finish up their pre-game party I am already at home on the couch with my flannel pajama pants and a glass of water and Advil by my nightstand. Ugh.

Don’t get me wrong I occasionally have a few rowdy nights where I have one too many drinks and things get weird but those are few and far between and when they happen I am pretty much immobile the next day and feel worthless. 

It’s ironic because this blog post could not have come at a better time (I did that on purpose, it’s not ironic at all) this past weekend actually marked 4 years since my graduation. It was commencement weekend at good ol’ LC and the alumni social media account asked alumni to post pictures from their own commencement. I HATE, HATE, HATE (HATE) how far I had to scroll to find a picture from my commencement!! I don’t have any on my phone! I had to search my Facebook page for like 12 minutes – gross! Scrolling on Facebook directly correlates with how old you are and how lame you have become – it's science. 

So by this point you have either rolled your eyes at how dramatic I am being, you have stopped reading because you think I am some whiny millennial, or you are trying to remember if you have a bottle of wine at home that you can open up tonight... 

Again, with all my posts, don’t get me wrong, as much as I complain I do kind of look forward to these next couple of years a lot of my best friends are getting married, people are having babies, some of my closest friends have kick-ass jobs and are killing it which allows them to spend  WAY too much money when they come to visit me, I can plan vacations that are more elaborate than going to the mall for the day – there are benefits to aging and becoming older, wiser, and more mature. 

This post isn’t to shit on becoming an adult 
(that’s what my other posts are about). 
This post is to 

1. Acknowledge my birthday- hello!! 

2. Acknowledge my birthday – whoop whoop! 

And 3. To say See Ya Later to the first few years of my 20’s and What’s Up to the second half of my 20’s!

Cheers to over the hump and to the years ahead!
