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.

1.) People in snow-prone areas who don't shovel their property and leave you to tread precariously over sheets of ice as you pass their house.

2.) That friend who you can only see if you make plans waaaaay in advance. As in: "Oh, sorry. I already have plans for May 3rd, 2011 but maybe we can meet up on the 5th between 3:15 and 4:09."

3.) When your only real plans for the future include walking your dog and settling in for a night of "The Ghost Whisperer."

4.) When you aren't sure whether or not to use a product because it technically expired years ago but it's too much time and money to replace it.

5.) When your refrigerator contains only years-old salad dressings.

6.) Watching 12 hours of TV in a row because a marathon of your favorite show is on

7.) Watching 12 hours of a TV marathon of a show you don't even much care about because eh, why not?

8.) Kernels of popcorn stuck between back teeth

9.) Knowing that I'll have to work out for 3 weeks straight, without eating, in order to take care of the massive amount of food I ingested over christmas

10.) Planning on making it 6 weeks with tomorrow's leftovers meals
