1. You Secretly Get Excited When Your Period Is Late

While the majority of early twenty-somethings are probably still in the 16 year old mind set of 'please don't let this be the month I become a young pregnant person, please bring me my period', you've outgrown that panic and moved onto something far more mature. Every month is now a potential time frame for conceiving. It's not going to work though if you're single, out of work, in a relationship with a man who doesn't want a baby, or in a job that takes up all your time. You could pick two of those right now: it's clear you're not in a secure position for a baby right now. And it breaks your heart. Still, you can dream, right? One day you will have a baby, and your life will be utterly complete.
