YOUNG AND BROKE: What you wished you had known about LIFE.

When you were 3 you wanted to be 6, when you where six you wanted to be 12, when you were 12 you wanted to be 14, but once you reached that point all you wanted to be was an ADULT. You thought that reaching the point of maturity would become a free for all where you could come and go as you pleased and have absolutely no one tell you what to do. The awful truth is that you were wrong and no one cared to warn you. What you once thought would be the adventure of a lifetime filled with countless shenanigans became the crossroads of life where there was no turning back. Once college is over THE PARTY IS OVER. Welcome to what I like to call the limbo of life, where you are always in the middle. What happened to the spark of it all? the truth is no one really knows, now you wish to take it all back. Here is the list of 6 things we all looked forward to, but really didn't know shit about. Let this also be a warning to the kids and their wishful thinking.

1. Alcohol: Oh so you thought drinking was fun? Prancing around like a complete idiot after ONE bottle of guinness is not the definition of drunk. Before, you thought it was cool to update your profile pic of an underage YOU with a sealed bottle of vodka. Well you had no idea what was coming your way. Being drunk once you've reached your twenties becomes less of a recreational activity, but more of an acquired taste. You become a real adult when you start drinking over problems and not because you're trying to draw attention from the crowd. No one cared to warn you in advance of the troubles alcohol had in store for you like empty pockets, tomfoolery, one night stands, girl on girl action, lost valuables and yes the most dreadful of them all THE HANGOVER.  Looking back at it now, it doesn't seem so great after all.
2. Money: The troubles of your mother not wanting to buy you a car or shoes don't get better in fact, they only get worse. Becoming an adult doesn't mean money is going to rain on you like a hoe in a rap video, it only means that you are going to have a shitload of bills to pay. Not only do you have to work for it but you have to earn it and if finding a job that payed you minimum wage wasn't hard enough, you have to learn to manage it in the most RESPONSIBLE way, but lets be honest that is never going to happen.
3. Living on your own: Of course living alone has its perks. Parties, wild nights, no bedtimes, no coming back home and so on, but as life goes on and you sink in deeper in the hell hole of life, the misery of being on your own can eat you up. sometimes a good friend and a bottle of wine (maybe even two) wont cut it and as hard as it is to admit you are ALWAYS going to need family by your side.
4. Relationships: Truth is you will never learn from them. they will make you or break you becoming an emotional roller coaster where you are bound to get hurt. Try not to die in the attempt of not dying alone. So if you are looking for the love of your life chances at a bar chances are that they might break your heart. Think twice before sharing your life with someone else.
5. College: It all becomes fun at games at first, but as you get deeper into the subject matter of "is this really what I want to do with my life?" things get a little hairier. Encountering professors that will tell you that you are worthless and even those that want to get a little action after class, college is one of life's most difficult milestones. All I have to say about this one is stay there, study hard and never get out. If you thought that life was hard enough trying to pay your college tuition and studying for midterms, the best is yet to come. Graduating does not mean they hand you a key to your dream job, but more of steady battle of looking for jobs on craigslist that you are either over or under qualified for.
6. Sex: To be honest, sex is nothing but a tale of high expectations that you are never going to reach. The sad part is that it only make things more complicated as your unsatisfied frustration gets the best of you. It's just something in life that everyone has to do, a milestone to say the least. overrated yet underestimated. 

don't we all wish we could go back to the good old days?
