I'm a firm believer that you really don't quite have a grasp on how the world works until you hit the tender age of twenty five. I'm not saying it's like this for everyone, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is for the fair majority. It was for me, anyway.
By the time you're 25, most people are done with their undergraduate work (and possibly a Master's degree). The safety and security of college is gone. Out of school and into the world. You've probably found a job and have gotten used to the daily grind. Welcome to real life.
Attitudes toward the types of people you date evolve. I asked a friend as a joke the other night: So when do girls stop going for assholes and start dating the nice guys with their shit together? She said "TWENTY FIVE" and shook her head without hesitation.
It's kind of like a giant slap in the face. A wake up call.
I've been awake for 3 years now and I'm still getting used to it.

So. I should probably just live in a cave until my next birthday. Is what I'm reading. I've been told it's actually 27.
ReplyDeletePfft. It's different for everyone. However: You're not in LA yet. I'd say the 25 thing will be spot on for you once you get there.
ReplyDeleteIF(!) I'm in LA...
