Questions every twenty-something hates
From the moment you turn 20 until the moment you leave these glory years and head on over to the thirties, there are always questions that make you want to vomit (alright vomit might be a tad exaggerated, but questions that makes your skin crawl). Cause either you don’t know the answer, you don’t want to know the answer or you have absolutely no desire to share your answer. Know what I’m talking about? The questions below are a few for example.
How many kids do you want to have?
I’ve shown my intense dislike for this question here before. It is absolutely nobody’s business with who, when and how many kids you are or are not going to have, but when you’re in your twenties this questions pops up an uncountable (and uncomfortable) amount of times.
do you have a boyfriend yet?
Another question that drives me absolutely insane I even ended up dedicating an entire article to it and introduced you guys to the term “the look.” Everyone who ever asks this question: GIVE IT A REST.
do you know what you’re going to do after you graduate?
I was lucky enough to know what I wanted to do from a very young age (work for magazines) and I never once deviated from this plan (although now I work for a digital magazine rather than a printed one, you might have heard about it, it’s called Amayzine.com. HAHA Ok sorry that one was too easy). Anyhow, a lot of my friends are still very unsure about their future plans and have absolutely no idea what they want to do once they graduate. And that is okay, really, but it is immensely annoying if everyone around you constantly wants to be informed about something you don’t yet know the answer to. I repeat: GIVE IT A REST.
what are your thoughts on [insert a complicated matter of your own choice]?
About the refugee debate, the diesel scandal, Trump’s presidential run – you name it. You honestly have no idea what it is all about cause uhm you’ve been so busy studying or going out or being hung over or everything else except for keeping up to date with current events.
What are your plans for the weekend?
Either you’re busy studying, or you are having a hard time deciding which party to attend. Or, you just really don’t know because just like me you never suffer from FOMO and you just couldn’t care less. Besides, especially when you’re a college student, the division between week and weekend really isn’t that spectacular. As far as you’re concerned, every day of the week is the weekend. As soon as you start working 5 days a week you’ll be yearning for Saturday’s and Sunday’s but if a Wednesday can be like a Sunday then hey, it’s just a mere question about terminology.
What are you having for dinner tonight?
Uh no idea? Soup? Or something? The first few years that I lived on my own I lived off of salmon and toast and all was good. Nowadays I endlessly slave away in the kitchen and make myself three course meals. Haha of course not, I am a complete doofus in the kitchen. Friends always tell me about easy recipes “that even you can make” but I have this miraculous way of even ruining a regular pb&j sandwich.
what kind of insurance do you have?
Hahahaha the hell should I know? What is health care insurance? Where? Who? No idea.
