20s

"It is in the twenties that the actual momentum of life begins to slacken, and it is a simple soul indeed to whom as many things are significant and meaningful at thirty as at ten years before." ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

20s

Being in your mid 20s are much complicated than experiencing adolescent stage.

Why? Because you're not that old yet you should act like one.

You're still young yet you already have responsibilities of an adult piling up to you.

It's quite pressuring isn't it?

It feels like a battlefield – more likely an assessment.

In that era you can tell if you could survive the future, or not.

It's like an investment, so that you can be more prepared for tomorrow's sake.

You can be responsible and irresponsible, at the same time.

It's like a trial and error stage.

You could make wrong decisions and make it right after.

You may lose something – it could be old friends from your teenage years or things you've treasured the most, or maybe someone that is special in your heart.

You'll cry a lot until you'll cry often.

You'll suddenly change and then became distant to everyone.

You'll realize that time has to be managed wisely.

You barely have time for everything you wanted to do,

You barely have time for your friends or family –

Even barely have time for yourself.

In this age, things could be more tiring.

You'll feel more intoxicated each day.

You'll be wiser and have your own words of wisdom too.

You'll barely have fun because you're busy focusing in other things that are more important than that.

Whatever it is – 20 should be limitless.

You can still be spontaneous just like when you're still a teenager.

As long as you're responsible in whatever consequences after – you can still do the things you wanted to do in life.

And most important, don't stop dreaming even if you're done being in twenties.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
