The Top Twenty

My Top Twenty Things About Turning Twenty

20. Two decades, and thank goodness the 90’s are over!


19. It’s about time I caught up to my friends…


18. I don’t feel old, but according to the little ones I baby-sit I am.


17. It is now scientifically impossible to fit that many candles on a cake, and it should not be attempted by anyone but a professional mom.



16. The Dallas Stars
have won the Stanley Cup in my lifetime!

15. My average bowling score is only slightly more than my age!

14. There have been four presidents in my lifetime, and I have a picture of me as a baby with the Bush/Quayle sticker on my diaper to prove it!

13. I can remember when Barbie wanted to grow up and be a teacher, and didn’t dress like a call girl.


12. The slip and slide was deemed “unsafe” for Adults and Teenagers in 1993, so it’s a good thing I
don’t own one, and never have.

11. When filling out surveys I can now check the “20-25” age box.




10. I can say that flip-flops are shoes and “thongs” are multiple pairs of a scanty women’s underwear.

9. “Never say never!” I said I would never attend TCC…don’t you just love algebra?

8. My wardrobe for school is no longer based on who will see me, but rather what is clean.

7. I may not have a “curfew”, and haven’t for a while, but I can always be sure that mom will jump halfway out of the bed, and ask who it is when I wake her up after coming in late.

6. Thanks to Seth, I have probably seen more football than the average American does in 40 years.

5. I’m Halfway through College!!

4. People take you a little more serious than a “teenager.”

3. People will stop asking me if I’m “really that young”!


2. I’m going to London with Mum in August!!


1. I’ll be twenty, need I say more!?

June

The alram goes off the morning, and I am not ready for Monday. I drag myself out of bed, and toddle into the computer to check email and such before I get breakfast. After all, my body has no desire to eat at such an unholy hour. I sign on Facebook, and everybody and there mother has been engaged or married overnight. Okay, so not everyone, but I can't count at least 10 people I know that have either been engaged, married, or will be married within the next month. I know June is the time for weddings and such, but really....we are talking people my age. It's so weird to see all these people I have known anywhere from childhood to just a year getting all coupled up. You know, like "SHE married HIM? Wasn't he the kid that drank glue in first grade?" It's just all very strange to me. Summer is in bloom, and apparently so are the diamonds.
