20 things to Learn from Your 20's

Years spent in your twenties are the like the ultimate pre-game--full of embarrassing Instagrams, a lack of common sense and questionable outfit choices. It's a pre-game to the actually 'party' known as adulthood. So for all of you who are entering their twenties or soon to be leaving them, enjoy this hectic, chaotic time before adulthood hits.

1. Ramen noodles for dinner every night is not a sufficient meal plan.

Despite what most people say.

2. However, begging your mom to stock you up on food is still acceptable.

Thanks mom for still supporting your almost adult child :)

3. Wine will always be your best friend no matter the circumstances

And it's okay if it comes from a box sometimes.

4. Sometimes you can't avoid parallel parking your car, its an inevitable life event.

My driver's ed teacher from high school would be horrified.

5. Love hurts, but its worth it

You're gonna run into some f**kboys, but what can ya do? Onto the next one.

6. At no point does getting up early and hitting the gym get any easier.

But every now and then does actually make a difference in how you look and feel.

7. Don't waste your time on guys that aren't worth it.

8. ..because lets be real your twenties are going to go by fast, nobody has time to wait around.

9. Yeah, money is important but not as important as your family and friends.

Because they are the ones who keep you grounded.

10. Spending most of your savings account on traveling is OK.

Sometimes you just need a tan.

11. Napping often is good for your health.

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

12. If you decide not to clean the dishes, they will still be there in the morning.

(unfortunately they don't wash themselves)

13. Documenting your life on Facebook , or Instagram is really not necessary anymore.

It may be time to stop "Doing it for the Insta"

14. Try everything (ok, not everything but, most things) at least once.

Don't let your fears stop you.

15. Dance at every bar/club you go to.

There will be a day when you are too old for that stuff so take advantage of it now!

16. Always go with your intuition.

Despite being young, odds are you intuition is right in the end

17. Some people you will just no get along with.

And that is ok, theres 7 billion more where they came from.

18. You can't always care so much about what other people think.

You do you girl!

19. But most importantly, have the time of your life in your twenties and don't waste a minute of it.

Stay young.

20. Use the "they're just in their twenties" excuse to your advantage!

I'm still not quite an adult right?

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. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
