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.

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
