Am stuck studying for my semester exams , wont be celebrating the New Year because of that. Waiting to know if the girl I like , like me or if I really like her? 2 many questions no answers! Now what?:smack:
Dunno…
It’s up to you! I’m 36 and still have no answers to your questions… if you find any, please post them here.
In the mean time, lighten up and have fun!
PS: Happy Birthday!
Happy b-day! Welcome to the ranks of the 20 y/o’s. I still don’t know what I am doing and have been 20 for just over a full month. If you figure out the answer tell me, I’d really like to know.
Your 20s will be great – old enough to have some control over your life (i.e., you’re no longer a kid) and young enough to have fun and do some stupid stuff (i.e., you’re still a kid). Enjoy!
First, you get to drive yourself nuts by thinking that there really ARE answers to those questions.
Then you realize that there aren’t any answers, and that we’re all just faking it, and you learn to enjoy the ride.
[sub]Why yes, my handbasket is comfty, thank you for caring [/sub]
Move ahead where you can without a plan; i.e., work, make money, save if possible, avoid debt.
I’m happily engaged in a career I’ve been at for well over 20 years, but as of my 20th birthday, it was still a good 7+ years before I even first mouthed the word that would become my profession.
Keep your options open. IOW, don’t pick up weight, like getting busted, or a bad debt, or a kid with the dancer who thought for a few weeks that she didn’t want to be a biker chick anymore.
So, maintain pace, keep the decks clear, and things will come to you. Good luck, pal!
And let us know how it’s going.
You should take some remedial english classes so that then you can learn how to construct a proper sentence.
Or maybe I still feel stung by something you said to me in ATMB that got ya pitted. I dunno.
So what did u do , search for my threads in which I’ve posted ?and all u want to do is criticize them for some reason which I think is really stupid. I dont know what ur age is but u need to grow up , and if u have a probelm ,as Czarcasm said in the first thread take it up in the BBQ pit , I’ll be waiting:cool:
PS: Hey Dopers I think we found Mr/Mrs Blackeyes Perfect here!!! Maybe we should take lessons from him!
Now only one more year until you can legally drink in the U.S.
And, again, if you guys have a personal dispute it should be taken to the Pit. IANAM but still.
You’ll never have answers to your questions. Welcome to your 20’s.
Moderator’s Notes: Jukeball and Blackeyes, you will keep your bickering confined to the BBQ Pit - if it has to be on the SDMB at all. This is not a suggestion.
<old man>
Get a job ya hippy
</old man>
Seriously though, put the future in the context of seeing Unclebeer in the nude.
Arousing to some, Horrifying to some. Accept the whole layout and you may find a place to hang your hat (ba dum tish). Don’t accept it, and you may find yourself longing for a second peek.
My finest “Caine from Kung Fu” moment.
You’re not old yet, you kid. Old enough you should be familiar with the words “you” and “your”, maybe, but not old old. Just enjoy not being a teenager (that alone was enough to make my 21st year one of the best of my life). You’re not supposed to know what you’re doing with your whole life yet – if you did know, you’d probably be wrong anyway.
Now me, I’m getting old. Seems like just a few days ago, I was a child of a mere two dozen years. Now all of a sudden I find I’m a full quarter of a century old. How did that happen?!
(And about the girl: have you tried asking?)
Old Geezer Kick’in here.
Go to college. Go to school. Repeat, Learn. Get a degree in something you enjoy. but be sure you want to do this for the rest of your life. Then persue this desire without mercy for anyone.
Good Luck!
Get a job running pirated CD’s over the boarder with Canada.
Engage in running minigun battles with the INS. And as a final act of defiance set yourself on fire and fling yourself off the washington monmument.
Oh, and let me follow you around while you do this.
See I’ve got this movie script, but no budget… so maybe I can video tape you?
Who said that at 20 you have to know what you are going to do for the rest of your life. Heck at 50 I still have unanswered questions about my life. I would recommend that you enjoy it as as much as possible and don’t dwell on the small stuff. You will more than likely find a person to spend your life with and hopefully attain a measure of satisfaction of what you accomplish. Let us know in ten years how it is going.

I did! I did it Sunday already!
Ah, what I wouldn’t give to be 20 again.
First off, let me tell you that NO ONE can give you any suggestions or warnings. We all walk our own paths.
I can pray that you GO TO COLLEGE. Doesn’t matter in what, take several different classes to see where you fit.
Thats how I met her. The only way that I could continue meeting her was to tell her that I like her, the second time I met her , since I had met her via via via someone in someone’s party. I’m pretty sure she remembers that I told her that I like her:) . We are in constant touch and meet up quite often for dates and such , but what I would like to know is what she’s thinking and just a bit afraid to ask her in case I freak her out:confused:
Anyways this thread will probably give you a better idea. It’s a bit old but just to let you in the story.
A girls insight always helps.
Cheers!
You know what makes me feel old (I’m 22)? We have season tickets to our local AHL hockey team. And there’s quite a few guys on the team that are younger than me. And some of them are several years younger than me.
Sports Guy on ESPN.com touched on this recently–a 19-year-old wrote in and said he felt really old when TV the other said Shaquille O’Neal was in his 11th NBA season.
Tonight I have to cover a basketball game at my high school. I’ll probably feel like I’m 30 by the time I get back to the paper to write my story.
