the life of a 20 something as told by Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel

This is an accurate representation of what is it like being in your 20s.

And I’m not saying it because I like the show or anything but it is accurate af (please google if you don’t get what’s af)

Like let’s take closer look at them:

First we have Chandler and Phoebe saying they don’t know what to do and I cannot tell you how true it is. Being fresh out of college is a scary thing because there’s no more guidelines for you to follow. No more adults telling you what to do. At least in college you still have your lecturers to say “you kids gotta study for your exams”. And the worst part is that you don’t even know what to do with your degree. Get a job, yes, but what job? Which company? You’re gonna be stuck because you’re lost.

The second, Joey and Rachel, also true. Entry level pay is pathetic. Like legit pathetic. Not sure how employers expect us to live off the pay they give us without the occasional skipping meals. The rent itself has already taken up around 20-25% of the pay, food is probably gonna be about the same. Let’s not forget transportation costs and toll fees and the occasional gatherings and outings. That’s not a lot you have left for savings at the end of the month.


Lastly, we have Rachel again talking about all that work and it’s not worth it and hating her job and not being sure to quit or not to quit. SO FREAKING TRUE I TELL YOU. I’m at that juncture now and it’s so frustrating. I hate my job, I want to quit, but then again I think I’m kinda good at it so I should stay? Ugh the frustration. Sometimes I get the feeling like all that effort and it’s not even worth it. Let’s get real here. All that stress, all that pressure and at the end of the day, I sometimes don’t even get a “hey, you did good today” or a “keep up the good job”. It kinda deflates your enthusiasm.
