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.

6.) Living alone because you can't stand roommates anymore, then getting pets, because it's too brutal living alone.

7.) The combination of looks and (no)brains that is Megan Fox

8.) Watching television and being totally sideswiped by someone puking when you didn't expect it.

9.) The brutal irony of New Jersey's being called "the Garden State."

10.) Knowing you're killing your body with the crappy, additive-loaded food you eat daily, but being too poor to afford any alternative.
