pros and cons of being a teenager

pros and cons of being a teenager

Pros: You are not yet 1/5th done with your life, optimistically. You have another 4/5ths to go! You can rationalize every crazy thing you do with the fact that you are a teenager. Teenagers do crazy dumb things all the time. You can’t help it. You don’t have any real responsibilities, but you can probablykeep reading

Whatever you’re using right now probably sucks. Microsoft Word is a terrible note-taker, because the notes are hard to organize, and you end up with either 32903 different files, or one that’s 70 gigabytes that doesn’t open until halfway through class.

pros and cons of valentine’s day

Pros: You get to be festive and wear pink ribbons and demonstrate merriness. Strangers are likely to give you free chocolate. If you have a significant other, the two of you are probably going to have a jolly romantic time. People talk about the valentines they received from their family, which is so fun, becausekeep reading
