Was on full fellowship for graduate school. My wife had some loans that we got paid off about 3 years ago. #winning

---

My department was suuuuuper small. They accepted 6 MA students my year, but only provided funding for the PhD candidates. But congrats to you. That is awesome.

---

I have been very lucky indeed. No doubt about that. Not sure if I would have gone to grad school if I didn't get on fellowship. Has definitely paid off.

Cliff notes please. I don't feel like making the effort to read the article, or the thread.

Maybe it should be 14 depressing things for people in their late 20s with a liberal arts degree

Though I'm married, so he makes up for most of it lol

Then add 15. Getting pregnant to ensure I stay married so he can continue to provide for the lifestyle I don't want to work for

Yeah, since the Liberal Arts degree isn't working out its good you got that MRS degree as a backup.

Didn't read. Was "Acting a complete fool on message boards" or "Seeking validation from the internet" listed?

I think "feeling urgent need to post replies about things you were too lazy to read" was on the list.

That was a dumb list. My life isn't perfect by any means, but I have a great job, great house, savings in the bank, and I do pretty much whatever I feel like.

I should spend less on random crap, and I'm still single (womp womp), but if I was unhappy with my life I wouldn't keep doing the same things. I love having the freedom to just say "screw it" and do something totally different if I feel like it. The beauty of no (school) debt or sex trophies.

Cliff's Notes:

Broke
****ty job
No goals
Single
Boring
Tired
Fat
Nowhere feels like home
Move back in with parents
Jealous of people who have their **** together
Giving up on career for fun job
Drink too much
Miss college
Lament all of the above

What do you mean by sex trophies?

Do you even TexAgs?

Children.

22 and doing better than the author

Whiney Millennials

Broke - If you factor in loan debt, then technically yes. But I'm doing just fine.
****ty job - Nah, can't complain.
No goals - Check (no long term, at least)
Single - Check
Boring - Probably check
Tired - Probably check as well
Fat - Getting there
Nowhere feels like home - Somewhat check, though this is becoming less true every day
Move back in with parents - Check (Already did this, not happening again)
Jealous of people who have their **** together - Sometimes
Giving up on career for fun job - Not yet
Drink too much - Nope
Miss college - Not that much

I identify with a lot on that list, but I don't sit around feeling sorry for myself. Though 2 years ago was much different.

depressing list. get off your ass and do something about it.

Yup. Drug companies and shrinks everywhere are licking their chops for the next couple of decades of little snowflakes needing therapy.

That poor, poor author. What kind of society do we live in where you can't have everything you ever wanted with a liberal arts degree and a career in blogging?

If only I could make a career out of my #instagram pics. Some of them are great. I would feel so #blessed.

None of this really applies to me, with the exception of the single part. Guess I'm THAT guy.

I find that the dating pool gets bigger. When I was in college I had a ridiculous amount of competition seeing as the majority of 20 year old girls are hot. Now I still look good but women my age are starting to get frumpy and fat. None of the stuff on this list applies for me.

So is that why you cheated on your husband?

That list is pathetic. Are all of you seriously big losers that didn't plan your career, can't make a budget, can't put down the fork, and can't put down the bottle?

Atag cheated ?

Why are people bragging about owning a home?

Congrats on having a place to live. Most people have those.

Do people realize they're trying to justify they're doing ok in their late 20s by bragging about material things?

owning a home is nice, but passive assets that generate good cash flow are even better.

I will don't get why everyone thinks they need to own a home. Doesn't make financial (or even lifestyle) sense for everyone

Especially if you live a gay lifestyle
In san francisco lol

Most of the folks here saying they can't fathom this list are also stating they are married, which changes the whole scene, and potentially checks off several of the items on the list by default.

Also, can all of these lists be stopped. It's really gotten out of control.

This sounds like aging, worthless women problems list.

All this.

We should probably go out.

That list is what happens when you put wireless in the kitchen.

Another depressing thing about your late 20s is that your grandparents are dead or close to it.
