Over the past few days, several articles about how crucial your 20s are have been posted to HN. I find them quite depressing. I can only hope that the blog cycle is like the news cycle, and that these posts will stop once it stops being the topic of the week.

I know. I thought I wasn't supposed to have introspective life crises until middle age. At 27, this wave of 20s themed self improvement/"watch out" articles are making me feel like a failure the same way Calvin Klein ads make me feel like I'll never be attractive.

The most depressing part about the article is that it starts out with the assumptions that you have opportunities for relationships available to you that you're willingly passing on and that you're getting laid on "a regular basis".

Yeah, write me an article on how to satisfy your assumptions first, and then I'll follow whatever advice you've got about what comes afterward.
