For many college students, the prospects of entering your twenties mean one more year before finally being able to go to bars, drink, and finally having the opportunity to actually feel like an adult. But, for many other college students entering your twenties is a whole scary prospect with actually coming to the reality that you are close to entering the real world, and your teen years are finally over. Entering your twenties could be a scary thing, but if you enter it prepared it's not as bad as it may feel or seem.

These 3 things will prepare you for your twenties.

1. Get rid of all the drama in your life

Entering your twenties means leaving your teen years behind. Resolve any drama you had with people in the past or forgive the people who created drama for you. Learn to act like an adult because you're gonna be one soon.

2. Understand what is right and wrong for your life

Your twenties are a time where your decisions may affect you for a lifetime. It's necessary to understand yourself and create decisions that benefit you and build you rather than push you back. This could mean deciding on the right career choice, choosing the right people around you, or any decision that could impact you.

3. Stop trying to prove things to people and start proving things for yourself

In your teen years, many individuals may have done things to prove they are a certain way or to uphold a certain image. It's necessary that you stop living for other peoples opinions about yourself, and start doing things that prove you are capable for yourself.

Your twenties can be a scary time for people, but once you start growing up, its necessary you begin to understand that the way you think and the actions you create can benefit or hurt you in the long run.

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.

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.
