There might not be many years between being a teenager and being in your early/mid twenties, but this is when things really start to change. You actually become an adult, responsible for making sure you have clean underwear and feeding your own pets. Being asked for ID is boring, no longer something to fuss over because you finally actually have some and a Friday night at home every now and then might not actually be the worst thing in the world. There's a fair few things that might change for you in these years; here are just a few... You'll probably still get too drunk, not keep track of your periods and accidentally laugh loudly in awkward social situations.
