    What It's Really Like Being 22

    Not exactly a Taylor Swift music video.

    So you (or someone you know) is 22.

    When you were younger, you thought it would be like:

    But it's not.

    You thought you'd party all weekend,

    But you actually end up marathoning Catfish instead.

    Everyone seems to be getting married already,

    Except for you.

    Maybe you've even tried online dating

    With limited success.

    But hey, at least you've got a good job, right?

    Wrong.

    You've got a kickass place, right?

    Wrong.

    You're broke

    And sometimes you just want to be a trophy wife/husband.

    Most of the time, you're confused.

    And sad.

    Which isn't great...

    But don't worry!

    You have your whole life ahead of you,

    You have good friends,

    And you know that things will turn around.

    You're awesome

    And you have been for 22 years.
