20 things to Learn from Your 20's

Years spent in your twenties are the like the ultimate pre-game--full of embarrassing Instagrams, a lack of common sense and questionable outfit choices. It's a pre-game to the actually 'party' known as adulthood. So for all of you who are entering their twenties or soon to be leaving them, enjoy this hectic, chaotic time before adulthood hits.

1. Ramen noodles for dinner every night is not a sufficient meal plan.

Despite what most people say.

2. However, begging your mom to stock you up on food is still acceptable.

Thanks mom for still supporting your almost adult child :)

3. Wine will always be your best friend no matter the circumstances

And it's okay if it comes from a box sometimes.

4. Sometimes you can't avoid parallel parking your car, its an inevitable life event.

My driver's ed teacher from high school would be horrified.

5. Love hurts, but its worth it

You're gonna run into some f**kboys, but what can ya do? Onto the next one.

6. At no point does getting up early and hitting the gym get any easier.

But every now and then does actually make a difference in how you look and feel.

7. Don't waste your time on guys that aren't worth it.

8. ..because lets be real your twenties are going to go by fast, nobody has time to wait around.

9. Yeah, money is important but not as important as your family and friends.

Because they are the ones who keep you grounded.

10. Spending most of your savings account on traveling is OK.

Sometimes you just need a tan.

11. Napping often is good for your health.

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

12. If you decide not to clean the dishes, they will still be there in the morning.

(unfortunately they don't wash themselves)

13. Documenting your life on Facebook , or Instagram is really not necessary anymore.

It may be time to stop "Doing it for the Insta"

14. Try everything (ok, not everything but, most things) at least once.

Don't let your fears stop you.

15. Dance at every bar/club you go to.

There will be a day when you are too old for that stuff so take advantage of it now!

16. Always go with your intuition.

Despite being young, odds are you intuition is right in the end

17. Some people you will just no get along with.

And that is ok, theres 7 billion more where they came from.

18. You can't always care so much about what other people think.

You do you girl!

19. But most importantly, have the time of your life in your twenties and don't waste a minute of it.

Stay young.

20. Use the "they're just in their twenties" excuse to your advantage!

I'm still not quite an adult right?

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.
