We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the hardest part about being a twentysomething. Here are the brilliant results.
1. You're totally shocked when you see someone your own age married with children.
2. You get gruesome hangovers after drinking only one glass of wine.
3. You're forced to budget your money now that you're considered an "adult."
4. Hearing the words "Are you done with college yet?" is like hearing nails on a chalkboard.
5. Your friends drag you out to the clubs on the weekends, but you'd rather stay in and avoid all human interaction.
6. Dating is hard because you don't always have the time to meet single people.
7. Landing your dream job after graduating from college is pretty damn hard.
8. You go to the grocery store to buy food for an actual meal, but you end up leaving with snacks and candy instead.
