Being 20 comes with a new sense of life. You finally feel like you've made it past your teenage years and your sloppy, career finding, fun-filled years are ahead. Your 20's are to be looked forward too. You can finally find yourself and live your life freely without anyone breathing down your kneck. Here are 10 things every 20 something year old should do and go through, even if you don't want too.

1. End the relationship you so desperately wanted to work out but, just didn't.

Sometimes you gotta learn that being in love and hookups just isn't enough to keep a relationship alive.

2. End the toxic friendships with someone you thought you would always be friends with.

Sometimes people change, making relationships change. Letting go of these friendship you knew would never work out will make you 10x happier.

3. Decide to go out on a work night and not drink to much but, in reality you get wasted and work becomes HELL.

This will happen to every 20 something year old and if you say it has never happened to you before you're just lying to yourself honey.

4. Blow an entire paycheck on something completely useless.

Because those new gold bracelets will pay the rent this month.

5. Going to that party instead of laying on the couch binge watching your new Netflix fav with your cat.

Come on people we are only in our 20's once. LIVE IT UP.

6. Deciding who YOU want to be as a person.

The only person who gets to decide if you're happy is you. Dye your hair purple. Get the tattoo. Date the girl. Date the boy. Who gives a shit about anyones approval. Discover you boo and be damn proud of it.

7. Learning to speak up for yourself.

Don't let that person be an asshole to you. Gain that confidence you've been searching for and stick up for yourself, no one else will.

8. Live your actual life instead of being absorbed with your phone and social media.

Come to realize that you don't always have to pull out your phone and document every single thing that happens for social media. Spend time in the moment.

9. Quit obsessing over that person who could care a less about you.

Refer to #1 and #2. CUT THEM OUT. Don't loose sleep over that boy who is sleeping with someone else.

10. Love yourself.

You don't need that makeup or your hair always brushed. You need to come to realize how much natural beauty you have and to embrace it babe!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
