No one likes you when you're 23

Why being 23 is awful: self doubt, not having a job that is your dream job, feeling too old for college bars and too young for expensive dinners, hangovers get worse, you lose lots of friends and can't find new ones, feeling trapped and confused, explaining over and over that you are changing your career, constantly worrying if you are wasting time, too much time to overthink, learning to be patient

Why being 23 is amazing: the sense of accomplishment when paying bills on time with the money you earned, having your own place, having your own pets, spending your money on things you like, not having to pretend to like mom's lasagna, doing dishes whenever without being yelled at, no tests, no homework, no required reading, having time to cultivate new hobbies, taking time to fully understand yourself and your wishes from the world, learning how to come back from setbacks, creating your own schedule
