Living the life of a 20 something year old is never dull. While I am constantly plagued by first world problems and the dealings of my upper-middle class life I find myself constantly confronted with some type of drama. Wether it be my sorority, my boyfriend of the moment, my family, or my social media woes. Life can be rough no matter how privileged and lucky one may seem. Its not the glamorous life I saw myself leading at this age. I never thought as a child that being a senior in college would come with nights spent in bed dealing with anything besides how fabulous I am. No one says "I'm going to grow up and be average, normal, maybe even a little boring". Yet I find myself in a place where I am content with being normal. I enjoy nights in rather then drinking myself silly at the bar. I enjoy cute dates with Mr. Right Now. Yet things are complicated. I have always been told by those close to me that my life, my story, is unlike any other. My struggle is real most days, despite the struggle I get up each morning with hope for the day. I am lucky. I am healthy, loved, and educated.
It's time to start keeping track of normal, average and boring.
