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

13. Your Twenties Look Like A Quest That Could Be Exciting

So, this is what being an adult feels like. Hungover, hungry, and in need of a career choice, or at least some sort of big change to mark this momentous change in age. So you decide to do something crazy. Like travel for a while. Or join the police force. Frodo and Sam heading off on their quest: ok, so Gandalf has given them the general gist of how bad things are, but they don't have a single clue how bad it's about to get. Striding off into the unknown with their bare feet and pretty brooches is more of an adventure than a trip to save the world. This is what approaching the next ten years feels like to a new twenty year old. Scary, but not too scary; and more exciting than it is terrifying.

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
