2-0

On July 31st I exited my teenager years and entered the somewhat scary door to adulthood. I am now TWENTY years old and you want to know how I feel. The same. I feel exactly the same as I did six days ago when I was nineteen. I know that no one feels completely different the day they turn a year older but there is so much hype about your twenties being the best time of your life. I was hoping for this magical feeling of "yes these are going to be the best ten years of your life" but sadly that feeling has yet to hit. Maybe it's because I'm secretly a thirty year old trapped in a twenty year old body or maybe it's because all the people telling us these are the best years of our lives are 30 plus.
What I do know, is that six days ago I was just as lost about what I want to be when I "grow up" and I still have no idea who I will marry or where I will live. All those games of M*A*S*H in middle school did not predict my future. Some people tell us twenty-somethings that now is the time to make mistakes and relish in the fact that we have no idea what we are doing EVER! However there are a few who say these years are not just for goofing off. An article on Levo League, Your Twenties, quotes a psychologist saying that "EIGHTY percent of life's most defining moments take place by about age 35." So with that knowledge in mind, what are somethings I want to do in my twenties? Well I'd like to be able to see in to the future, but sadly I must put my faith in God and know that I will get where I need to be. Perhaps I am too comfortable where I am to experience the magical feeling I want. Converse College's Dean of Students urges us to break into our "red zone" and try different things. It is only by learning that we can discover who we are. So I am going to start doing one thing that brings me completely out of my comfort zone each month. Any suggestions for August?
