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.

4.) When the most exciting decision you'll make in a certain day is what to have for lunch.

5.) Realizing that your metabolism is starting to slow down already from age while you're still in your 20s.

6.) Morning "news" show stories

8.) Avatar-induced depression

9.) When it's just warm enough so that precipitation isn't snow - 34-36 degrees - but the air, and the rain soaking into your skin, feels incredibly cold.

10.) Wet dog smell.
