How to be a 20-Something Be really attractive. Your acne is gone, your face has matured without having wrinkles and everything on your body is lifted naturally. Eat bagels seven days a week, binge-drink and do drugs: you’ll still look like a babe. When you turn thirty, it’ll become a different story but that’s, like, not for a really long time. Reestablish a relationship with your parents. Go from eating delicious food at your parents’ house to eating Ragu tomato sauce over Barilla noodles. Move into an apartment on the corner of Overpriced and Dangerous. “Date people who you know you’ll never be able to love.” Read the New York Times piece, “What Is It About 20-Somethings?” Work at a coffee shop but feel hopeful about your career in advertising, writing, whatever. Date people who you know you'll never be able to love. Eventually all these nobodies will make you crave a somebody. Start your twenties with a lot of friends and leave with a few good ones. Form the habits that will stick with you forever.

A hopeful President Obama brings a suitcase with some of America's things to Buckingham Palace. The former colony, which is $14 trillion in the red, “just needs to retrench” following a few bad years and hopes living with its parents will help it save up some money to get a new start. Britain, however, has yet to agree, explaining that it has its own financial problems and has nowhere to put America, as the Leeward Islands moved back in just last week. In a phone call with the U.S. earlier today, Queen Elizabeth was initially unsympathetic to her former charge’s plight. “Hmm, if we recall, you’re the one who wanted to move out. “Hey c’mon, why do you have to make this so hard?” “No, of course not. “It’ll just be for a couple of months. “Yes that’s comforting,” the Queen replied.
