Time turner anyone???

Being in the early 20s is not turning out to be what i imagined when i was a teenager or as a kid.All my life i have heard that change is the only constant and now the twenty's are proving it every minute.

Teenage is all about your "Firsts" and in the 20s you bid goodbye to a lot of your "lasts".



Friends, who you trusted more than family during teen years, as the family just didn't understand you, turn into people with whom you share a give and take relationship.You suddenly realize that nothing is unconditional.Every relationship comes with a little hidden star mark on it.Friends, who gushed about your everyday new crush as much as you, get into serious relationships eventually get married.

You are done with your studies after slogging your ass off for many years only to realize that all that you studied is called ""bookish knowledge" and is not "practical".Leaning begins in the practical world and it teaches you things its way.Life is not a bed of roses, is something you learn with each thorn poking you one at a time.

What is also called "practical" is the blatant lack of honesty.Getting a degree might not get you a job but knowing someone at the higher position will.You grow up believing the world is your oyster and the 20s teach you that even for a little leg space you will have to struggle like you never have before.Teenage also makes you a dreamer and an idealist.But all that is taken away in the name of practicality.

You don't know where you fit in.Grownups don't take you seriously as you haven't proven your mettle.Kids take you too seriously and so you are banned from entering into their sacred circle.You try hanging out with people you used to since a kid and during college and they turn out to be someone you don't know and recognize.

Guilt free eating is an alien concept.Celebrating birthdays without thinking that your pushing towards scary 30 is an impossible task.You start fretting about the "now invisible but will show if not taken care of" wrinkle.

Everybody in the world wants you to get married and the same people will gladly give you career advice.Whether you ask for it or no.They assume you need it.

You stop taking relationships for granted.You realize that you might not get a chance to make things alright ever.Nostalgia become a part of your life.You try making and remembering memories.You write blog posts about how school life was so much better than the life you have now.

Having celebrated my birthday just 2 days back made me rant like this.After writing all this, for a moment, i wished to get the time turner that Hermione got at Hogwarts.

I know it sounds impractical for an early 20s year old but i refuse to grow up all of a sudden.I have accepted that i am never getting on the Hogwarts express.As for the time turner, early 20s or not, a girl can hope...
