Anjali Bhat is 19 years old, a student journalist and an Indian-American feminist. A Bay Area native, she’s currently studying at the University of California, Davis, where she offers the excuse “I’m just a baby adult!” when forced to deal with Grown-Up Problems like paying bills and making small talk with co-workers.
She’s trying her best. If you’d like to reward her — because being an adult is HARD — let her know on Twitter (@anjbhat) or Instagram (@anjali_bhat). She likes those gold star stickers from kindergarten, coconut cake, trips to New York City and long romantic walks… to the fridge… for more cake.
The thing is, I’m not a mom. I’m not even a trendy lifestyle blogger. I’m a 19 year old with my whole life ahead of me. In this century, I have so much more freedom to choose what I want to do with that life.
