Since No One Asked with Jesslyn
Jesslyn McCandless Bacon
The 20's are the best and worst part of your life, in my opinion. Actually, that's a fact. You have more freedom than ever, and more responsibility than you can manage... or so you think. As a 20-something myself, I am tackling post-college adulthood with live commentary on why I think this age is just the worst. Join me, Jesslyn, as I tell you all the things you didn't ask to hear. Who knows? You might learn something. I know I have.
