10 Reasons Why Being 25 Rocks!

This week I have a guest post over at my good friend Patrick Pho’s blog. All week he was featuring guest posts about a subject he calls The Quarter Century Crisis where people who are right about 25 share their experiences and worries about being a quarter century old. Now although there were a lot of great experiences shared there were also a lot of downers, so I wanted to break out with the Top 10 Reasons Why Being 25 Rocks!

10. You are 25, too young to be called old, to old to be called a kid.
9. You can successfully rent a car by yourself now!
8. Car insurance drops by a good margin! (Almost $50 a month for me! Granted I did also switch during the time.)
7. You can run for president in just 10 years!!!!
6. Everyone apologizes to you when carding you for beer.
5. You are in a new demographic, more likely to get free stuff for taking surveys!
4. You can’t get drafted by the U.S. Military anymore!
3. No one will look at you like an idiot if you get pregnant.
2. You can start gaining weight and just tell people to go to hell if they got an issue with it.
1. You only have 1 year left before you can continue hanging out with your friends who insist on trying out for American Idol each year!
