Being 21 sucks...

1.Because all of a sudden things like career,future,relationships,marriage etc start clogging ur head.
2.Because ur mom never fails to give u a lecture on the importance of marriage.
3.Because wen u tell ur frnds u went out wid a cute guy the 1st ques is : 'what does he do?'.
4.Because ur mom insists u learn to make round chapatis.
5.Because ppl ask u ques like 'what do u plan to do after engg'.
6.Because if ur ans to this ques is 'Dunno...maybe get married and have loads of kids ' then they dont get the joke.
7.Because suddenly wearing ur fav mini skirt becomes a big deal.
8.Because wen u meet ur school frnds after a very long time,they ask u 'So..wassup wid ur love life?' n u answer 'nuthin' they look at u like ur an alien wearing a bikni!
9.Because wen u tell them u like being single,they laugh out loud.
10.Because wen u go shopping wid ur cousin for her kids u suddenly find urself thinking 'if it was my daughter i wud have bought this'.
11.Because u suddenly start reading the health coloumn in the newspaper.
12.Because u actually think of following the diet mentioned in it.
13.Because the frnd u loved shopping wid suddenly starts goin to the salwar kammeez section of the store.
14.Because it scares the living daylights out of u wen u actually find urself falling for sum1.
15.Because u start feelin stupid about celebrating ur bday
16.Because u find urself actually reading femina n cosmopolitan.
17.Because u find out theres no such thing as a real world.
18.Because u find that ur suffering from a quarter life crisis.
Being 21 sucks......

Eh I don't know why people have problems with "growing up". Why can't we just feel good about all this. Why aint "getting married" or "doing sumthing after engg" intresting ?? Its just because we don't wanna take the responsibilities...this is "running away" in simple terms. We just don't wanna crack the "egg shell" provided by our parents and don't wanna look at reality in its face
