I am currently about four months into my 20's. Four months into a decade of my life that is described by some to be your, “selfish years.” Four months into a decade of my life that brings the excitement of finishing school and the fear of the real world.

Four months into a decade of my life where I am supposed to figure out who I am. And while four months isn’t a long period of time by any means, it is long enough to have learned a few things. These are those things:

1. I Still Have No Freakin' Idea What I'm Doing.

When I was in high school, I used to think that by the time I was twenty I was going to be this really kick-ass, sophisticated woman who knew exactly what she wanted and exactly how she was going to get it. And while I do have a few more things figured out than my high school self did, I still pretty much wing it every day.

That’s okay with me though, because I know that I still have so many more people to meet, so many more experiences to have and so much more to learn. And who knows, that really kick-ass, sophisticated woman that I one day will become might still not know exactly what she’s doing, but that’s life. No one really knows what they’re doing and that is exactly what makes it so extraordinary.

2. Quality Truly Is Better Than Quantity.

It took me twenty years, but I did finally realize that four quarters has been and always will be better than one hundred pennies.

3. The Best Skill You Can Learn In Life Is How To Accept An Apology You Never Received & Forgive Someone Who Isn't Sorry.

Sometimes people are going to hurt you and they are not going to say sorry. And as much as it sucks, it sucks even more to waste your time waiting for something that is never going to happen. So instead of going crazy, apologize if you hurt them, forgive them for hurting you, wish them well and let it go. It’ll be the best decision you ever made and the best revenge you could ever have.

4. Enjoy The Ride.

Life is short and the time that we have to be young is even shorter. It seems far off now, but one day I am going to wake up and I am going to have children, and be married, and have a job, and have all kinds of responsibilities.

And as excited as I am to become an actual adult, I don’t want my 35-year-old self to look back on my 20-year-old self and be disappointed by all of the things and people that I spent time on that didn’t matter.

So, I think the biggest thing I have learned from being twenty is to enjoy it. Make mistakes, so you can figure stuff out. Kiss a few frogs, so you can meet your Prince Charming. Let people who don’t deserve you leave, so you can make room for the ones that do. Try new things, so you can figure out what you’re good at.

Say yes to things that scare you, be confident in who you are, make the best of even the worst of times. Because one day your twenties will be a distant memory. And I don’t know about you, but I want sixty-year old me to look back at twenty-year old me and say, “You go girl!”
