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.

DEBATE TEAM: Are these things worse than puberty?

1.) The fact that, despite never having bought a ticket, I have yet to win the lottery.

2.) Realizing that your wish list of things you want could be totally achievable with maybe $4000 but you are still not able to get anything on it because, despite being employed, you are still penniless.

3.) When your wish list of things you want includes mostly drastic/surgical methods to improve your looks.

4.) When all your friends are not penniless and can spend money on awesome things that you can't afford.

5.) Complaining about how penniless you are every week on your blog.

6.) Being told you're a cynic by a guy in a heavy metal band

7.) Times when you really have to pee, but you're too comfortable, or tired, or just lazy to move

8.) Sarah Jessica Parker movies of the last 5 years

9.) Having Alec Baldwin, current version, on your list, though you're 25, because he's SO awesome.

10.) Dropping your scarf/hat/gloves on the floor at a bar because, it being winter, you have just too much sh*t to keep track of.
