Things to know in your 20s
January 5th, 2010
Blogger Sassy Curmudgeon has a nifty chronological advantage for a writer — born in a year ending in “0,” she can write a decade-in-review piece that is also a review of her own life. She’s done so, rather hilariously, in “Ten Years of Twenties,” which everyone who is or has been in their twenties should read:
Unless you have a particularly rough childhood, your twenties are your birth into the real world, by which I mean a world that doesn’t involve trading “points” for meals or having a third party pay for your cell phone. They are painful and joyful, exciting and despondent, infantile and terribly grown up-seeming, drunken and sobering.

Thanks so much for the link! Now I must buy your book. Hopefully there’s no chapter devoted to not writing “fuck” on the Internet, since I’ve broken that rule on my blog many times over, and also just now…
Just read the Sassy Curmudgeon’s blog…that is alternately hilarious and dead on! So true that the 20′s are such a defining decade in your life and no one prepares you for all the crud you have to work your way through! It’s a fun time, but can be a terrifying time without a sense of humor or really good friends! She seems to have come out the other side with a wicked sense of humor and sounds like some great stories! Thanks for sharing it!
That’s a great post. I think most of those things fit in the teens rather than the 20s, but that’s a list everyone should have.
