As someone turning 22 pretty soon, I can confidently say that being in your early 20s is a super fun and not at all confusing adjustment period.
Are you an adult? Yes! Go away, kids! I am out here paying rent and dealing with unearthed trauma from my childhood and teen years while pretending to enjoy grown-up conversations about mail!
But also, like, should I own a hair dryer? Are stocks something I need to concern myself with? How much does a cabinet have to cost before it gets expensive? These are the questions that keep me up at night with my podcasts and Succession GIFs.
So here are 22 great tweets about being in your early 20s.
