16 Things You Realise When You Turn 20

I turned 20 last September and since my last birthday there are a few truths I have discovered.

1. Time to get your life in order and get a proper job

2. Then there's the stress of having to prepare for that interview...

3. And there's always the inevitable question "So tell me, where do you see yourself in 5 years?" WHO EVER ANSWERS THIS  TRUTHFULLY?!

4. Then when pay day comes.. Goodbye Money!

5.  Being able to afford a potato for dinner is an achievement

6. You discover the amazing drink that is wine

7. Drinking is your only friend at the end of the day... It's always there for you

8. After drinking you feel like a better dancer than Beyonce but you're more of a Taylor Swift at the Grammys

9. You hope, like wine, you will improve with age

 10. You will also realise some 13 year olds look and dress older than you

11. And you now must try and teach yourself to walk in heels like a proper adult

12. You go on twitter now and have no idea what the abbreviations that teenagers are using  actually mean

13. The internet  is now such a weird place - 1 random new friend request, no mutual friends? AVOID!

14. You'll meet some of the craziest friends you've ever had

15. Everyone expects you to be planning for your 21st Birthday like its going on MTV's Super Sweet Sixteen

16. But all in all, these will be the years you remember, so make the most out of it!

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did making it!
