Why I Want to Live to Be 120
Longevity is influenced by lifestyle. If you don’t smoke, don’t drink, and don’t expose yourself to drugs or harsh chemicals, you might just live until old age or beyond. The United States has a very obvious income gap between rich and poor. Money may help the rich live longer if they can afford medical care while poor people stay stuck on welfare or disability, not to mention the extreme stress that having a low income can produce. Also, in order to be long-lived, you have to be able to stand up for yourself as well as the next person as a survival tactic.

Too Young, Yet Too Old
College is the best and worst time of your life. I'm not saying college sucks—because that is just a straight up lie. We have little to no responsibility, party at unacceptable times, and just have to really show up to class and sit there. The age frame is not always ideal at this time in our lives though. One second you are having the time of your life, but then the life haunting questions begin to pop into your mind making you slowly but surely want to cry and hide forever. All of a sudden you go from pregaming for a party and dancing to "Buy U A Drank," to having a panic attack in the bathroom four shots deep wondering what you are doing with your life. As a current 19-year-old in my sophomore year at college, I can honestly say that I have no clue what the rights and wrongs of this age are supposed to be. It shouldn't be confusing as hell, yet welcome to my world, ladies and gents! Let’s hope I’m not alone on this topic; I doubt I’m the only one.

Change
Change. Change can be a very big thing for a lot of us growing up, even when you're "grown" what do you do? Where do you go? When and old skin no longer fits what can you wear? Well? I find that we grow even more. We may no longer be who we once were but that means we can create something even greater. To let go of things that no longer fit. I think change can be a very good thing.

Death Comes for Us All
Death. Dying. It affects us all in some way or another and will someday come for us as well. I guess I am an odd sort in that I have an interest in reading about the dying process, what may happen after we die, and how it seems some people may know that they are going to die even though they may be perfectly healthy. Talking about death still seems to be taboo with some people and rightfully so, because who wants to talk about dying. It is an issue though that we will all succumb to someday and it's a natural process of life. We live, we die, and it is this way for every living thing.

Why Should I Bother Anymore?
Why should I bother? I am NOT Superman! Now that I got that out of the way, I can continue writing my article. Why did I start off like this? Did anyone actually confuse me for the Man of Steel? Nope, but sometimes, I tend to forget who I am and why am here on this planet.

Sunrise! Sunset!
There is an old roadway tune from the musical called Fiddler on the Roof. I am not going to get into the entire play, but it has always found me drawn to one of its tunes, "Sunrise! Sunset!" Little did I realize, this tune showed me how I look at my life.

5 Problems I Never Expected in My Thirties. Top Story - November 2017.
We all know I suffer from P.P.S. (Peter Pan Syndrome) but even so, I have never denied the inevitable. The fact that as time goes on and I grow older, everything changes. Not just my skin and body but decisions, beliefs, and desires, too. Don't get me wrong, years ago I remember hearing the age 34 and thinking, EW that's old, like Monica Gellar old, but I honestly thought my active life and youthful attitude would keep me young forever, or at least longer than other people. I didn't expect at this age to not be able to get out of bed without a groan and moan from a herniated disc. I also would have laughed in your face if you told me that I would be worried about crows feet and laugh lines. I thought that crap happened at 50, not 34! Yet here I am, Googling Groupon Botox deals and doing modified gym routines so I don't aggravate my lower back. Now that I think about it, maybe it was my active life and youthful attitude that caused half of these issues. Perhaps, I had too much fun and all my years of wide smiles and loud laughter have been too much for my face to handle, and maybe the years spent dancing till dawn wore my body down before it should have. Regardless of the cause, for some issues it’s too late or not without a hefty price tag. So just go on without me because I might as well get myself a walker and adult diaper now.

The Q1 Identity Crisis
I can’t think of anyone I know who hasn’t found their 20s to be a tumultuous tidraid of decisions that have ultimately left them feeling uncertain or unfulfilled by the direction their life is taking.
