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.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major.

You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
