10 Changes Every Girl Will Go Through in Her 20s

                                                                         Being in your 20s is weird. The decade begins while you're most likely still in college, not able to legally drink... and it ends with you being a full-time adult in the real world, legally able to drink, but not wanting to nearly as much as you did when you were 20. In 10 years you're forced to go from being this adult-child still living under the same roof as your parents to a real live adult maybe living with a partner (maybe even with a child!). To successfully maneuver your way through your 20s, you have to change. It's science.

You girls go through many changes in our 20s, some big and some small. We might be thrown a curve ball like a job offer on the other side of the country. We might receive a surprise like a positive pregnancy test before marriage. Or we might get a fresh, new, unexpected start after breaking up with the guy we thought we were going to be engaged to in a year. But no matter what happens, the small changes remain the same for most of you. Here are 10 changes every girl goes through in her 20s:

1. You will start wearing outfits more than once. You're not capturing every second of your life anymore, and even IF a picture of you in a certain outfit gets captured and is featured on every single social network known to man you WILL wear it again, because why not? You spent money on it. And it's cute. Just put on another necklace... Or wear the same one. Whatever. You'll live.

2. Hangovers won't be something you can afford. You've got two days to get things done until the work week decides to repeat itself. You can't spend the entirety of those two days locked in your bedroom in a coma after being attached to the toilet for a few hours. You also can't afford the calories that come after a night of drinking. Whether you're drunk eating yourself into a stupor to try to avoid getting sick in the morning or you're experiencing post-hangover hunger, which only warrants chowing down flour(snacks), chicken and chips(lol) you won't be able to keep doing that without gaining twice your weight. So you'll stop blacking out and start "drinking responsibly" (whatever that means).

3. You won't be nostalgic(The condition of being homesick) when kids go back to school. Or you won't be AS nostalgic. Mostly because you'll be too busy working to notice. And also because school feels like an eternity ago. Especially when you realize you would be considered a pedophile(An adult who is sexually attracted to a child or children) if you were now to attend a college party. Even more so, a high school party, but that's neither here nor there.

4. Spending money won't feel like a death sentence anymore. After graduating, you were all like "I CANNOT do that. That costs MONEY!" Now you're like, "How much? Maybe I can swing it." Things you would not spend money on before, you'll spend money on now. Granted you're still a bit stingy, but you really can afford some things now.

5. You will be able to "just do one." Ever since you started drinking, you couldn't just have one drink. Hell -- you didn't see the point of drinking if you weren't getting drunk. It's extra calories. It's a waste of an outfit. It's money that could be saved for a night when you are going to go all out. But soon enough, you will be able to just have one drink, on a weekend night, with friends... and you won't even call it lame. You'll call it a night out... and you'll probably be tired the next day.

6. Children will start to look cute. The horror. Ohhhh, the horror. Babies, which used to make you run away, now make you go "awww." You still have no idea what to say to them, but they're starting to look cute. What does it mean?!

7. You won't be the youngest person at the bar anymore. And you'll realize that when you get hit on by a dude who asks where you went to school. School?! You haven't gone to school in a few years... Damnnnn. It must mean you look good, though, right?

8. Engagement rings and wedding dresses won't all look the same anymore. Every wedding dress you had seen before was basically the same white dress over and over... and they were boring. But soon enough, you'll start to see patterns. You'll start to notice which ones look cheap and which ones are right up your high maintenance alley. You'll also start to be drawn towards diamonds. Before, you said you'd rather have a LV bag than a big cheesy (not to mention, expensive) engagement ring that might not go with every single one of your outfits, and that you may lose, like, at the gym or something (my poor future fiancé/husband -- I'm apologizing in advance). But now you want one (eventually). I mean, they keep popping up on Facebook and Twitter. How could you not?

9. You will find yourself complaining about the "music kids are listening to these days" and how much better it was when you were younger... and then you'll shut up when you realize how old you sound. Actually, that's when you KNOW you're getting old.

10. You'll stop caring about most things... and you'll start to care about other things. You won't care about what other people are doing anymore. Instead, you'll care about what you're doing. You'll care about making plans, but you won't care when you don't make plans. And you'll hopefully care about money, but you'll spend it when you want to do something. Not when other people want to do something. You'll hopefully be in a job you actually care about. And if you don't care about something, you'll stop pretending you do.

Now, I'm not saying I've gone through all these changes. At all. I'm 20 and not a girl. I love to party but for now -- I'll keep messing around, a little bit less every day, until more changes come I guess.
