Hello everyone,
So as you may, or may not know, tomorrow is my birthday. It seems ridiculous that June 20th is on the edge of the calendar when it feels like Christmas was just yesterday, and with this years birthday comes a milestone, one that is very emo and that is the end of my teenage years. I thought I would use this post to be a little self indulgent and very much nostalgic and look back on my teenage memories as I prepare for this new 'adult' chapter of life.
I guess a lot of my teenage years consisted of school, being the weird kid who liked My Chemical Romance and wore skull print fingerless gloves from Claire's whilst everyone else loved the Sugababes. I rarely ever spoke, put my hand up in class or participated in socialising at all. I made the mistake of having a mega dick for a best friend and my teenage years got a WHOLE lot better when I let that person go out of my life.

F*CK! I'm (almost) In My Twenties
Friday, February 20
A few years back I stumbled upon a post on Tumblr which raved about a certain blog, which was run by the sister of one of my favourite musicians (Ezra Koenig, Vampire Weekend). So, I gave the blog a peek and was amazed by the online world which Emma Koenig had created. You can find Emma's blog here.
The blog was humorous, visual, and although I was closer to 15 than 20 at the time, was relatable. I envied this blood of Koenig which seemed to burn with creativity.
When I found out that Fuck! I'm In My Twenties was actually being released as a book I was delighted. I'm a huge fan of the Rookie Yearbook run by Tavi Gevinson, and thought Emma's blog was very similar in it's kitsch, cool style.
I decided I wanted this book for my 20th birthday, and I've waited. In the time since I first encountered Emma's blog I've completed my A Levels and embarked on my degree, and more than anything, I've joined the gloomy path to a teenageless life. A few years ago I liked the idea of Fuck! I'm In My Twenties, but now I feel like I'm living the life Emma describes.
I recently decided that with the amount of work related to my degree right now is so immensely agonising that I might not make it to 20, so, on a whim, I ordered Koenig's book, as well as the journal to accompany it.
