A Very Twenty Something Christmas
(During Hanukkah this year, I lit the candles and said the prayers by myself in my own apartment. I think I was too lazy to make dinner. Doing the holidays, twenty-something style)

It’s Christmas Eve, and this Jew just finished eating at one of LA’s newest hot spots with my best friend and her visiting parents. Now I’m home wearing pajamas and watching old movies. In previous years I...

You Will Not Die Alone!
Hezah, 26
To preface this, let me just catch you up to speed about one of my best friends, Brandy. She is insanely smart, laid back, fit, independent, gorgeous, has an ass that just won’t quit….oh and she’s a NBA cheerleader. If she’s going to die alone, then we are all fucked.
Brandy, you will absolutely not die alone. This isn’t a prediction just based the...

Thank for this exercise in twenty-something honesty.
lovelikevulture:
I’m 28 - I’m 26 I live at home with my mother who had a stroke, and her dog and my cat - I live alone with a plant that I struggle to keep alive I don’t have a degree - I have a degree from an overpriced university. I don’t talk about my problems - I talk about the problems that don’t matter, and bury the ones...

A Twenty Something on Parents
(I really do love me a vintage tee.)
Hezah, 26
My previous post on nostalgia spiraled an entire tangential train of thoughts. My closet full of vintage sweaters, drawer stocked with secondhand tees, and walls covered in genuinely hipstimatic filtered photos of my parents made me stop in my tracks. I realized my sense of nostalgia goes much further than reminiscing about old school Nick at Nite...

Should I Be Worried About This Already?
Hezah, 26
How did I get on this marketing list? Just because I live alone doesn’t mean I’m going to die alone. My Dad once told me that the day your turn 25, you start your slow descent into death. Welp…I guess I am overdue.

A Twenty Something on Nostalgia
(Who isn’t nostalgic for 90’s neon?)
Hezah, 26
Recently, I have been thinking a lot about nostalgia, and how we twenty somethings seem to LOVE it. We delight in anything and everything 80’s and 90’s. Reminiscing on childhood pop culture has become first date fodder, drinking games, viral videos, and road trip playlists. What’s the deal? Do we want to keep one toe in the kiddie pool as...
