Twenty and Terrified (But Mostly Twenty)

OMG you guys, I’m officially twenty years old as of today!! I feel like I should be more mature or something but honestly I still eat cereal for dinner half the time so… progress?

Twenty and Terrified (But Mostly Twenty)

My friends took me out for dinner tonight which was SO sweet - we went to this little Mexican place off Franklin Street and I may have had one too many margaritas but WHATEVER it’s my birthday! The waitress brought out flan with a candle and everything. I’m pretty sure I’m still finding glitter from the birthday crown they made me wear.

Dad sent me a card with a twenty dollar bill inside with a note that said “you’re 20, mija, get it?” and I literally cannot with his dad jokes but also I love him so much. Of course Carmen called during dinner to give me her usual lecture about “focusing on my studies and building my professional network” because apparently even my birthday isn’t safe from career advice. Love you too, sis!

Twenty feels big though, you know? Like I’m supposed to have my life figured out now but I’m over here still trying to memorize the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. One step at a time, right??
