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. Common symptoms of puberty include: braces, frizzy hair, baby fat, having a crush on 8th grader Steve Julius, blinding body odor and lame extracurricular interests like the violin or Bedazzling.

However, if personal experience has taught us anything, it's that there are experiences in life far more awkward, scary and pathetic than puberty. Here is a list of things that are:


WORSE THAN PUBERTY

Debate Team: Are these things worse than puberty?

1.) Gagging on your toothbrush more than once per brushing (stupid commercials about tongue-germs)

2.) People who think really dark tights are somehow appropriate as pants.


3.) Getting really excited over what you're going to plant in your garden this summer.


4.) Planning on owning chickens, in your city residence, "for the fresh eggs!"


5.) Walking out of your bedroom groggily in the morning and stepping in...a stray cat turd on the kitchen floor


6.) Considering your pets to be among your closest friends.


7.) Considering your pets to be among your closest friends even though they scratch and bite you and would run away from your house at the first chance without thinking twice.


8.) Getting a Victoria's Secret catalog in the mail and skipping right to the granny flannel pajama section because that is the only thing they sell relevant to your lifestyle.


9.) Spending an absurd amount of time and money on getting into college and then finding yourself applying exclusively to jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree.


10.) Being in your mid-20s and fantasizing about being in your 60s so you could retire from the workforce.

  1. I would be okay with me to wear tights as pants so long as the shirt worn covers the butt region since this is where the tights are stretched the most and become see-through. Then at least the wearer is on some level admitting that tights are not equivalent to pants.

  2. Even then, I feel as though the very tops of thighs, reaching into the crotch-al region, is inappropriate for me to see.
