I remember when I was younger I thought everyone in their 20s were so cool and old. Now that I'm turning 20, I don't really feel old. Your 20s, at least the way I see it, is a time to be selfish and do whatever you want to do. This is one of the greatest times in your life, before marriage, kids, and other responsibilities like that. I see this as an opportunity to do whatever you've ever wanted to do in your life.

So, to everyone turning 20, embrace this time, and do whatever you want. Make a bucket list and try to do everything on it. Travel a lot while you still have time and see as much of the world as you can. Make a ton of friends from different backgrounds and places. Study abroad if you want to or change your major to get your dream job. Just do whatever you want to do before life gets in the way.

Everyone should be excited for this beautiful time in their lives. A lot of times I feel like we try to rush through life and we don't live in the moment. We're always wishing we were older or younger instead of just embracing what age we are. I think your 20s can be one of the greatest times of your life, but it's all in what you make of it. So, to everyone about to be 20 or in their 20s do something you've always wanted to do today, tomorrow, and the days after, because you're as old as you've ever been and as young as you'll ever be in this moment right now.

And the best thing about turning 20? Only 365 days until your 21st.
