STFU, Conservatives

Now, two months after graduation, I seem to be one of just a handful of people that’s been able to get themselves on their feet, pay their own bills and actually put together some semblance of an adult life with minimal parental assistance. I bought a car, found an apartment and set up a 401k, just six months after turning 22. I came down on the ‘right’ side of every statistic — I found a job in my field that actually pays well, I’m living on my own, and seem to have everything that these other college graduates are dying to have.

But what about that 10-cents-a-word life that I always wanted? What about New York City? What about freelancing, penning newspaper columns and urban adventures? What about the struggles that I see on Girls and the tales of credit card debt and ramen noodle dinners? Aren’t these the things that really make you 22?

Out-of-touch 22-year-old white girl who laments finding a job after graduating from college and not getting to enjoy the ~*carefree lifestyle*~ that poverty entails.

Because it’s soooooo much fun juggling credit card payments to make sure you can pay your car insurance and keep the electricity on! And calling your landlord and begging for an extension on your rent because a freelance client didn’t pay you! Oh, and the exciting world of never going out when your friends do because you can’t afford drinks at a bar! Gee, I have a steady job now, but I’m starting to feel a little nostalgic for the glory days of my early 20s.
