The Truth About This Special Time In Your Life

According to what we remember from pamphlets geared towards 6th-grade girls, puberty is regarded as one of the most awkward and scary stages in a person’s life. It’s a time of horrifying physical transformations, scary new feelings, and growing interest in activities that you are still not old enough to engage in legally.

2.) The fact that, in your mid-twenties, you spend your free time, and more of your at-work time, looking for gossip girl websites.

3) Men who use straightening or curling irons on their hair on a daily basis (Jonas Brothers, I'm looking at you).

4.) Women who use straightening or curling irons on their hair on a daily basis (women of the South, I'm looking at you).

5.) Having to pay rent because now you have your own housing like a normal adult.

6.) Not having to pay rent because you can't afford to have your own housing like a normal adult.

7.) People who let their dogs out without leashes... because you always step in their dog's "freedom" when you're not paying attention.

8.) Leashes for cats.

9.) Realizing the high point of the last few months is the fact that you got a new sofa set.

10.) Trying to finance things like sofa sets on your non-existent income.
