20 Things To Remind Yourself Of In Your 20s
Whole Lot A Health

To keep it simple, sometimes life can get a little complicated when you hit your twenties. Life is hard. It forces us to make decisions we never thought we'd have to make. You're going to feel lost at one point or another. Feeling lost is different for each of us but none of us can deny that it's not the best feeling.

I'm at a point in life where I can admit to myself that I failed to assess myself and figure out what I truly wanted which ultimately led to me feeling lost. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that maybe you enrolled in the wrong program. No matter how far down that wrong road you are, turn around.

For some of us, our 20s are a time when we start to build our careers and begin making decisions that define where we want to be for the next 10 years. For others, this is just a time in life where a lot of mistakes as well as a lot of changes are made.

Regardless, here are some things we could all be reminded of every once in awhile. If you think you’ve got it all figured out, you probably wouldn’t have clicked on this post.


20 things you should be reminded of if you're 20-something.


1. It’s okay to still wonder what the hell you’re doing with your life.

2. One mistake doesn’t kill you, but the same mistake over and over will.

3. Don’t ever take kind people for granted.

4. Consider the source.

5. If it seems too good to be true, trust yourself.

6. There is never an excuse for someone to treat you poorly.

7. Stop comparing.

8. Don't be eye candy, be soul food.

9. You can't make everyone happy; stop trying to please everyone.

10. Learn to invest in the moment because it won’t last forever.

11. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

12. It’s not the end of the world if you don’t go out.

13. If someone tells you they can’t give you what you deserve, listen.

14. Don’t make life decisions based on what others want for you.

15. It’s okay to not be okay all the time, you’re still growing.

16. Stay focused, remind yourself of your goals.

17. Never waste energy fighting the old, focus on the new.

18. Life is too short to feel embarrassed.

19. Learn to love yourself before you try and love someone else.

20. If someone shows you their true colors, don’t try to repaint them.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
