8 THINGS YOU LEARN IN YOUR 20'S

#1. NEW FRIENDS ARE HARD TO MAKE:

It’s hard enough maintaining old friendships let alone making new friends. In your twenties, you have a tight knit group of good friends that won’t probably change for the rest of your life. Most of my friends are from high school and even though most of them live far away from me, we still keep in touch and still feel that closeness despite the distance. I have a best friend that I talk to mostly everyday and I have really good friends too that I love dearly. Friendship for me is the ultimate relationship. I love laughing with my friends, joking and just knowing you can completely be yourself. New friends are rare. I personally feel no need for new friends although I’m always open to it.

#2. HUMOR IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LOOKS:

OK, I hit the jackpot because not only my man is sexy as, he also makes me laugh. In your teens, it’s all about the looks. A six pack is amazing but 3 months in, the sexiest guy can easily become the most annoying person in the world. In your 20’s you start thinking about life in the long term and you definitely don’t want to be stuck with an annoying prick all your life.

#3. YOU CANNOT PLEASE EVERYONE:

In your teens, you care what your friends think, what your parents think, what the stranger passing you by think but in your 20’s you care less and less. Once you start becoming your own person,  the only opinion that matters in the one you have of yourself.

#4. PEOPLE WILL COME AND GO IN YOUR LIFE AND ITS OK:

We outgrow people and as we evolve some people are left behind. Don't let your memories be the only reason you're keeping the relationship — be it familial, platonic, or romantic. Perhaps the person you're hanging onto is no longer the person you once knew and loved. Cut your losses, remember the good times, and move on. And people who leave you behind? Well, you can't stop that from happening. When someone tells you it's over, believe them, and let them go. And don't be sad if they leave a hole in your life when they leave. Trust me, the hole will be filled up.

#5. BEING DIFFERENT IS TOTALLY COOL, WEIRD IS COOL:

Remember when you used try to fit into a certain mold and hide your differences. That was a high school mentality influencing you. But at some point in your 20s, you stopped giving a damn. Quirks are what make people unique. Hypothetically speaking, having an Instagram devoted to your squid obsession could be weird to some people, but hey, different strokes for different folks! So embrace your inner squid lover. . . er, I mean true self.

#6. DON’T EVER CHECK YOUR FACEBOOK IF YOU’RE:

1.       Drunk

2.       Depressed

3.       Just been dumped

4.       Unemployed, drunk, depressed and just been dumped

#7. LET GO OF EXPECTATIONS:

We've all done it... have an idea of what we thought our lives will be by say 25. It is best to let go of the expectations and work on our hopes and dreams step by step.

#8. APPRECIATE YOUR OWN LIFE:

The grass is always greener on the other side, until you get there and realize it’s because of all the manure.
