Opinion: Your 20s aren’t the best years of your life

The Battalion

I grew up believing that my 20s would be amazing. Almost two years into my 20s, and I’m starting to feel like I’ve been lied to. I’ve been through major life changes, stress and extreme loneliness — not quite the picture of independence and fun I thought it would be. Our 20s are sold to...

The Battalion
