Being 20 comes with a new sense of life. You finally feel like you've made it past your teenage years and your sloppy, career finding, fun-filled years are ahead. Your 20's are to be looked forward too. You can finally find yourself and live your life freely without anyone breathing down your kneck. Here are 10 things every 20 something year old should do and go through, even if you don't want too.

1. End the relationship you so desperately wanted to work out but, just didn't.

Sometimes you gotta learn that being in love and hookups just isn't enough to keep a relationship alive.

2. End the toxic friendships with someone you thought you would always be friends with.

Sometimes people change, making relationships change. Letting go of these friendship you knew would never work out will make you 10x happier.

3. Decide to go out on a work night and not drink to much but, in reality you get wasted and work becomes HELL.

This will happen to every 20 something year old and if you say it has never happened to you before you're just lying to yourself honey.

4. Blow an entire paycheck on something completely useless.

Because those new gold bracelets will pay the rent this month.

5. Going to that party instead of laying on the couch binge watching your new Netflix fav with your cat.

Come on people we are only in our 20's once. LIVE IT UP.

6. Deciding who YOU want to be as a person.

The only person who gets to decide if you're happy is you. Dye your hair purple. Get the tattoo. Date the girl. Date the boy. Who gives a shit about anyones approval. Discover you boo and be damn proud of it.

7. Learning to speak up for yourself.

Don't let that person be an asshole to you. Gain that confidence you've been searching for and stick up for yourself, no one else will.

8. Live your actual life instead of being absorbed with your phone and social media.

Come to realize that you don't always have to pull out your phone and document every single thing that happens for social media. Spend time in the moment.

9. Quit obsessing over that person who could care a less about you.

Refer to #1 and #2. CUT THEM OUT. Don't loose sleep over that boy who is sleeping with someone else.

10. Love yourself.

You don't need that makeup or your hair always brushed. You need to come to realize how much natural beauty you have and to embrace it babe!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
