Nobody talks about this.
I have a memory of sitting in my dorm room in Watson Hall (no relation) in college Senior Year, one afternoon, just sitting on my bed studying and listening to records, and suddenly it struck me with a start - I was 21. Which meant I was done with the teenaged years. I would never, ever have to be a teenager ever again. And the feeling was one of huge joy and relief. Done! I made it! 21!
Fast forward 24 years to now. And turns out I was wrong.
What they don't tell you is that all the hormonal storms a girl goes through as a teenager when she's about to get her first period, there are the same hormonal storms at the end of the process when she's about to stop having periods.
