If you are in your twenties you may be figuring out life just like me. You are probably in college or just graduated and out in the real world. I don't need to remind you that every once in a while life just sucks. No one said life was going to be a walk in the park. Life gets complicated some times and people suck, but that's the joy in the mess. Here are some things I'm learning as I wander through my twenties.

1. Life is too short to not eat dessert.

2. Don't argue with people that aren't worth your time.

3. Never let anyone make you feel worthless.

4. No one will make you happy but yourself.

5. Not everyone will agree with you. So move on.

6. Don't look at the past, but keep moving towards your future.

7. If you're in a bad relationship then leave them. You're in your twenties go have fun.

8. Always stick to your morals.

9. Stay grounded in what you believe in.

10. Communicate. No sense in holding all that in

11. It's ok to have a couple of mental break downs.

12. Be yourself.

13. You're going to find someone who loves you. Chill, remember you're only in your twenties!

14. Don't be normal because it's boring, so just be the best version of you.

15. Get rid of toxic people. Life is way too short for people who are not worthy.

16. Fight for what you love and who you love.

17. Who cares what people think about you.

18. It's ok to make mistakes, that's life.

19. Don't let people be mean to you. Stick up for you.

20. Embrace everything life throws at you.

21. Trust your instincts. Always.

22. Stop comparing yourself to everyone in this world.

23. Let it go. Some things aren't worth your time.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
