20 Things To Remind Yourself Of In Your 20s
Whole Lot A Health

To keep it simple, sometimes life can get a little complicated when you hit your twenties. Life is hard. It forces us to make decisions we never thought we'd have to make. You're going to feel lost at one point or another. Feeling lost is different for each of us but none of us can deny that it's not the best feeling.

I'm at a point in life where I can admit to myself that I failed to assess myself and figure out what I truly wanted which ultimately led to me feeling lost. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that maybe you enrolled in the wrong program. No matter how far down that wrong road you are, turn around.

For some of us, our 20s are a time when we start to build our careers and begin making decisions that define where we want to be for the next 10 years. For others, this is just a time in life where a lot of mistakes as well as a lot of changes are made.

Regardless, here are some things we could all be reminded of every once in awhile. If you think you’ve got it all figured out, you probably wouldn’t have clicked on this post.


20 things you should be reminded of if you're 20-something.


1. It’s okay to still wonder what the hell you’re doing with your life.

2. One mistake doesn’t kill you, but the same mistake over and over will.

3. Don’t ever take kind people for granted.

4. Consider the source.

5. If it seems too good to be true, trust yourself.

6. There is never an excuse for someone to treat you poorly.

7. Stop comparing.

8. Don't be eye candy, be soul food.

9. You can't make everyone happy; stop trying to please everyone.

10. Learn to invest in the moment because it won’t last forever.

11. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

12. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t go out.

13. If someone tells you they can’t give you what you deserve, listen.

14. Don’t make life decisions based on what others want for you.

15. It’s okay to not be okay all the time, you’re still growing.

16. Stay focused, remind yourself of your goals.

17. Never waste energy fighting the old, focus on the new.

18. Life is too short to feel embarrassed.

19. Learn to love yourself before you try and love someone else.

20. If someone shows you their true colors, don’t try to repaint them.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
