10 People to Avoid in Your 20's

We all have to grow up sometime.

Jun 26, 2017

You're in your roaring 20's and life is all about finding yourself and having a good time. You're just learning to navigate your way through your adult life through work, bills, and all of the social outings you may experience. Your 20's are the time to finally put on your big girl panties and grow the heck up, yet, there are those who are still stuck in their high school phases.

Here are 10 people to avoid in your 20's.

1. The girl who lives for drama

I'm not going to lie, listening to gossip once in awhile is fun. You can get super into a conversation but it's definitely something that shouldn't have survived past middle school. Yet, there are those girls who live for drama and it's as if they wait to become offended. Bringing up month old drama? Come on, girl. Next.

2. The parasite

We all have that one friend who conveniently never has money. I mean, I don't mind paying for someone's food, but if you ask ME to hang out and then it turns out you don't have money, what're you doing?

3. The pessimist

Whenever something happens, you already know that the pessimist will be there to make sure everyone knows just how bad something is. Life is way too short to be full of negativity 24/7. If you hang out with negative people, it tends to rub off on you and affect you too.

4. The complainer

Complaining once in awhile is totally fine. You're stressed and annoyed, and need to relieve pent up emotions. But complaining all day, every day, for dumb stuff like how you broke a nail? NOPE.

5. The guy who only texts you after midnight

When you're up at 1 am binge watching RuPaul's Drag Race and get that "Hey (:" text. Not today, boo. Not today.

6. The users

That person who conveniently only hits you up when they need something from you. Drop them.

7. The victim

Nothing can go wrong in the victim's life without them spiraling everything so the hurt falls on them. Even after they're the one's who did wrong, they try to act like they're the hurt ones.

8. The girl who claims she doesn't judge but actually does

"I don't judge but..." Sure you don't.

9. The person who always brags about high school accomplishments

High school was either the worst or best time of your life and it's okay to reflect on it. But if you're 24 years old and still talking about that A+ you got in Freshman Algebra... well, I'm not entirely sure what you're doing.

10. The adult baby

So unless you are into the adult baby fetish, there is no reason for you to expect people to cater to your every need and take care of you. You're an adult, take care of yourself for goodness sake.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Sam Houston State University

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

1. Wallow.

2. Cry.

3. Get Angry.

4. Tell Someone You Love Them.

5. Forgive.

6. Let go of the negative people in your life.

7. Be yourself.

8. Swallow Your Pride.

9. Stop Freaking Out Over Your Body.

10. Say No.

11. Accept Love.
