Read MoreYOOOO wanna hear something wild?? I’m turning 23 tomorrow!! TWENTY-THREE!!! How crazy is that? I’m lowkey trippin’ about it…23 just sounds like a huge jump in age/maturity from 22, in my opinion. Like from 18-21, I just felt like a college kid overall even though I was technically an adult.
