Quarter-life Crisis

Jenny just turned 20 last week, and it only sunk in now that its my turn. In a month and a half, I’ll be turning the big 2-0, and I’m not one bit excited about it. Here’s the list I made of the things I have to do before turning 20:

  1. Spend the night at a park or playground
  2. Be a hobo for a day.
  3. Befriend a stranger
  4. Have a really random, crazy adventure
  5. Help someone out.
  6. Have a really solid college group of friends. (Because all my friends have a college barkada, and I don’t)
  7. Get a tattoo
  8. Lose weight.
  9. Learn an instrument
  10. Write something worth reading.
  11. Act.
  12. Spend a day out, just walking around the city all by myself.
  13. Have a fancy romance, with notes and chocolates and flowers - the works!

So far, none of these have been accomplished. And my parents wonder why I feel so gloomy about my birthday. I’d like to look on the bright side, but I think I’ve been doing that for too long.
