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

14. You're Completely Innocent Of The World's Problems

It's your twentieth birthday. Congratulations; you are now viewed as a fully fledged adult. Frodo sitting in the dappled rays of sunshine with his book in the safe place that is The Shire? That's you right now. Four hours into your twentieth birthday, and the world is looking like a fabulous place. You have little idea of the terrible forces outside of your own comfort zone. You're slightly interested in politics, but more interested in how many gin and tonics you can get out of your birthday cash. You know about terrorists and world disasters and serial killers, but your life so far has been school and college and university and socialising and deciding what you want to do with your life. But you're getting older now, and it's time to expand your horizons.
