About
Fuck! I’m in My Twenties[1] is a single topic blog run by Emma Koenig depicting her life experiences living in New York City.
Origin
The “Fuck! I’m in My Twenties” blog launched on May 17th, 2011 with three handwritten entries by Emma Koenig[4] on being a twenty-something living in Manhattan. The first (shown below, left) provides fives ways to answer questions about your profession, the second (shown below, center), addresses the author’s notions of what it means to live an “adult” life in New York city and the third (shown below, right), provides a chart of the fictional scores she perceives as being kept by herself and the person she is casually dating.

Over the next few months, the blog was featured on Hipstercrite[3], Trend Hunter[5] and the Urban Outfitters blog.[6] By November, the blog had been offered a book deal[7]
