14 Reasons Your 20s Are Just Like The Lord Of The Rings

6. Your Friends Have Different Past-Times To You

While Frodo and Sam are off with Gollum, Merry and Pippin are hanging out with some talking trees, and Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are off hunting Orcs and generally just being pretty badass. This is what happens during your twenties: your main group of friends splinters off into smaller factions to do different and preferred things. While it can be sad when some of your girls hang out regularly without you, you don't mind, because you're with your boyfriend and that's just as fun. And just because your other guy mates are off paint-balling every other weekend is not to say you couldn't go if you wanted to; it's more just that you've got other things you like doing more. It's ok: the best thing about your friends is that you all know you could organise a big shebang whenever you wanted and all still have a great time. You're friends for life, and different hobbies aren't going to change that.
