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.

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.
