12 Reasons Living at Home in Your Twenties Is the Best

1. Nothing is more comforting than your childhood bedroom when you're sick/hungover. There's something less depressing about spending all day recovering in a room you've known for more than 20 years. When your head feels like a shit-ton of bricks or you can’t seem to breathe through both of your nostrils, being in a place that is familiar will ease the pain you’re going through.

2. There's an endless source of #tbt photos for Instagram. You know you look forward to Throwback Thursday. Look at how cute I was! Look at how much cooler my childhood was than yours! I was awesome! Home is the treasure chest for these adorable pictures that were taken pre-digital camera days.

3. You get to learn how cool your parents really are. Now that you're kind of an adult, your parental unit might start to level with you. Don't get me wrong, they'll still treat you like a little kid. But you'll now see that mom and dad are normal people too. But warning: Mom will probably begin to divulge about her dating life when she was your age… and it might get a little TMI. =\

4. Access to your entire wardrobe. Should you want to revive that *NSYNC tee, it's right there. In the drawer next to your BSB tee where you left it in 1999.

5. You know how to live with these people. Living on your own with roommates means getting to learn the quirks of complete strangers or friends. Even if you've been BFFs with your roomie for over 10 years, their habitual routine might drive you up a wall. At home, you know it's your job to clean the bathroom. You don’t have to leave a passive aggressive note on the fridge letting someone know it’s their turn to do the dirty deed. Also, they won't do this...

6. Dinner waiting for you when you get home from work. Mom or dad won't stop cooking. In fact, they'll probably insist on making you dinner. Don't fight it. Just enjoy the free meal waiting for you.

7. Lunch is provided. And if you don't feel like finishing that free dinner, you can bring it in for lunch the next day.

8. Laundry isn't a bitch. Living at home means you, the washer, and the dryer all reside in the same building. No sending your dirty panties off to a stranger. No spending all of Saturday in the laundromat. No acting like you just hit gold when you find a quarter.

9. When having a party, you don't have to do much of the planning. Assuming you have cool parents who want to hang out with your friends and drink a couple beers, there will be no prepping on your part. Mom and dad will most likely give you the money to buy all the booze and food.

10. Someone is always around to keep you company. Whether it's siblings or your parents, it's nice having people in your house you can hang out with. Roommates have their own lives and schedules and you usually have to plan for when you'll see each other.

11. Your bedroom is larger than any apartment you could afford on your own. Face it. If you moved out, you would be sleeping in a room half the size of your current mainstay.

12. You can dance around in your room with music playing as loud as you want. At home, this is not called being inconsiderate. This is you just being you and your parents will let it slide.

20 Mistakes Everyone Makes in Their Twenties

1. Not getting enough sleep. “But Anna,” you ask, “How can I sleep when there are so many mistakes to make?!” Don't worry, you have an entire decade's worth of days and evenings to irrevocably fuck up your life. (1.5. Not washing the pillowcases often enough. Once a week, or else your skin will suffer.)

2. Being addicted to social media. He liked that picture of your cat on Facebook, and then you retweeted his tweet, and then you trolled all of his friends’ Instagrams to try to find out if he was dating someone else, and then he posted a news article to your wall that related to this inside joke you guys have, and by the way, it is a beautiful day outside.

3. Washing your hair too much. Yes, too much, especially if it’s not stick-straight! By the time I was 24 my hair had the consistency of tree bark. Skip a few shampoos and just condition, or use dry shampoo! I use Rene Furturer, that stuff in the dark green spray bottle.

4. Wasting money on restaurant meals. I spent the first 5 years of my twenties dragging my hungover ass out of bed and feeding a $14 artisanal omelet to my mouth. If only I had skipped maybe one of these a week, I’d have $60 extra for grocery money, or for one GIANT artisanal omelet that we could all share.

5. Being health-bipolar. During the day we’re drinking green juice and going to yoga. At night we’re out partying with friends and ending the night with 4 a.m. fast food. The former does not detract from the latter — your body is just confused as shit. :(

6. Trying to tan. Ack! Stop. Even outside of a tanning bed, UV rays are no good.

7. Spending all your time in a relationship. Friends of mine who were with the same guy all through their twenties are lamenting it now. Before you settle down, you gotta get some strange. To truly appreciate the good men, you have to road test the bad ones.

8. Or chasing after someone who is completely disinterested in you. Does he never ask you questions about yourself? Swoon. Does he take at least 24 hours to text you back? Nice. Are you in his phone as “Mike” so that the other girls he’s hooking up with don’t know? Yayyy! (No.)

9. Getting sloppy with birth control. It is a joke to try to pretend that it doesn’t feel better without a condom, but everyone's gotta. You gottttttta.

10. Get a long-term pet with a significant other. So you and your boyfriend decided to drop a few of your start-up paychecks on Chuckles the $1,200 cockapoo. If you don’t last as a couple, Chuckles is a child of divorce, which we all know is a gateway to drugs and juvenile delinquency.

11. Drunk texting/dialing. And rolling over in the morning dreading to look at your phone. Hoooo boy do I know what that's like.

12. Extreme diets. No matter how many lemon juice, cayenne pepper and holy water holistic cleanses you go on, you’ll end up at your normal weight ultimately.

13. Hoard $15 H&M trend pieces instead of saving for something expensive and timeless. A cheapo peplum top (last year) or pleather leggings (2007)ish are always bound to go out of style, like, tomorrow.

14. Splurging on beauty products that you know in your heart you won’t use. Sephora is in business because “If I just buy this $75 unicorn-horn face powder, everything in my life will immediately improve and I will know what the fuck I am doing” seems logical to us, briefly. It’s not true!!

15. Spending a lot of energy on envying someone you have decided is your nemesis.She is the 2.0 version of you, in possession of the career, boyfriend, wardrobe and apartment of your dreams. Or she is just an acquaintance whose superiority complex and complete lack of self-awareness annoyed the shit out of you. (Not that I’m writing this from experience or anything.) Take a breath, and let it go.

16. Letting harsh judgments of your friends’ boyfriends’ (or your friends’ harsh judgments of your boyfriend) tear apart close friendships. He’s a tool. Just let everyone figure it out on their own time.

17. Letting your office treat you like an intern when you haven't interned in years. Yes, your mom’s over-enthusiastic friends are right when they tell you “how lucky you are to have a job in this economy.” But being a full-fledged employee with a salary who is regularly told to get coffee for supervisors and carry heavy boxes is bullshit.

18. Hooking up (the “feelings” way, not just the “casual” way) with a friend’s sibling. If the sibling lives in the same town that you both do, this is the most awkward social decision you can possibly make, besides going to Jay-Z's 40/40 Club in a chicken suit or something.

19. Pick the wrong-ass roommates. Sure, she was a good nightlife friend in college. But do you want her walking through your room of the railroad apartment at 3 a.m. dragging some douchey party promoter for a one-night stand? #nope

20. Slow down. Adulthood doesn’t happen overnight. Enjoy the decade — appreciate your wide-open future and perky boobs while you still can.
