“Our 20s are our selfish years. A time where we can take time to ourselves without feeling like we’re letting anyone down. We’re old enough to finally buy our own liquor but young enough to still ask our parents for money when we’re too broke to afford it. It may suck to constantly be broke, not have any clue what we’re doing with our lives and eat ramen noodles for dinner every night, but we’ll never be as free as we are right now. Let’s embrace our selfish years before we have a job, house and three kids to worry about.”
