10 Tips for TwentySomethings



Know that we are in this together...
  1. Things are finally coming together.  You might be living with your significant other, engaged, have a baby on the way or living it up on your own.  Embrace YOUR path.  Stop looking around.
  2. We still remember what life was like before texting.  Remember when friends called your house and your Mom answered?  Sometimes she'd even said, "Sorry ___ can't come to the phone right now."
  3. Pre & Post Facebook.  Pre: do things and get away with them.  Post: do things and get caught.
  4. The early years are showing up on our face.  Did you party a lot?  Drink more water.  Did you stay up late?  Sleep more.  Yo-Yo diet?  Try to find something that works. Now.
  5. Getting together with friends is harder.  Life is packed with company to-do's, family hangouts and personal projects.  Be sure to make time for quality time with girlfriends& the bro's.
  6. Be kind to your body.  Seriously, those injuries we had in our younger years are creeping back.  You'll notice a couple more cracks and pops as you walk, don't go too long with chronic pain.
  7. Breathe.  We don't have it all together.  We're still figuring it out.  Some have lost/quit jobs, broken up or got back from traveling.  It's OKAY! Repeat the mantra. "IT IS OKAY!"
  8. We are nearly 30, that's it.  Forgive yourself for not making the "right" decision every time.  Hate to break it to you, but we are human. WHAT?! I know. It's true. 
  9. You still have time to do what you were meant to do.  Do not give up.  Start the company you've always dreamed of, take the dance class, enter the competition, but never say, "I am too old."  You're not aloud to say that until you are 100.
  10. Joke around.  Life is meant to make you smile, for the majority of the time at least.  Take the intense walking face down a couple notches.  Say hi to people in the elevator.
