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

9. You Feel Like The World Is Out To Get You

Frodo and the gang are on their quest to get the ring to Mordor. Simple, right? Wrong. In fact, there are quite a few people out there in Middle Earth who want to make their lives really complicated, and potentially painful. For you, the twenty-something, you're waking up to the fact that life is a little harder than you thought. You're trying to get along just fine in your mediocre day-to-day life, but you've moved out from your parentshouse and it's actually working out way more expensive than you thought. The orcs in LOTR are suddenly realised in real life as your gas bill, your rent, your electricity bill, your council tax and your grocery spendings. You keep fighting them off by brandishing your small financial sword, and but they just keep coming back to bite you in the ass. It is one never-ending fight to win the money battle.

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).
