    What It's Like Being An Adult Fan Of Pretty Little Liars

    It's pretty cool being an adult fangirling over a show written for high schoolers. Right?

    Being an adult fan of Pretty Little Liars is pretty awesome.

    You have something to talk about with the college intern at work.

    You get to shop for their clothes on Possessionista.

    You have perspective on some of the issues that come up

    Oh, your high boyfriend turned out to be kind of a jerk who didn't tell you the whole truth?

    You were teased about your looks when you were younger...

    ...but grew up to be totally hot and awesome? Story of our lives.

    (And for the record, you don't identify with any of the parents.)

    But sometimes, having an adult perspective can ruin the fun.

    You feel a little creepy whenever you notice how hot Toby is.

    Even if he does have weirdly soulless eyes.

    Or maybe Caleb's more your type.

    I mean....

    You feel a little bitter that your high school didn't have such cool parties.

    But you love it anyway.

    And you're old enough to really know who you are.

    Maybe you're Hanna, known for your epic side-eye.

    Or you're a Spencer, and you have an A on the report card of life.

    Or an Aria, super charming but prone to wearing outfits you'll later regret.

    But not an Emily. Nobody's an Emily.

    You watch the show in long spurts on Netflix whenever you're home sick.

    But you might not be caught up to what's actually going on on cable, since you're off living your adult life.

    And inevitably everything just gets spoiled on social media.

    Sometimes you think, maybe I should go watch a show designed for grown-ups, like Scandal.

    But then you realize it's pretty much the same drama, just with legal drinking.

    So yeah, we're awesome.
