Make Your Twenties Better

1.     Accept that you can’t please everybody, and then decide which select few opinions and feelings you value enough to try and satisfy.

2.   Recognize that the grass always seems greener on the other side. Perhaps the grass you’re standing on just needs a little watering — it’s not necessarily where you’re at, so much as what you do there.

3.   Don’t spend too much time on Instagram trying to decide if Hudson or Amaro is the more aesthetically pleasing effect on your picture.

4.   Enjoy your journeys. Many times, the trip there is more gratifying than the arrival.

5.   Make certain that you have some real friends who will tell you if you’re screwing up, regardless of whether you want to hear or not. “Yes men” will have you believing your sh-t don’t stink, but rest assured — it does.

6.   Live as if you’re not going to make it to thirty. Too often we dread the big 3-0 instead of being grateful for the days we have now, and recognizing how fortunate we’d be to make it that far into the future.

7.   Don’t confuse the people who are often present with the people who are always there.

8.   Make a legitimate effort to have too good of a time today to worry about tomorrow.

9.   Try to keep in mind that while all good things must come to an end, so must the bad.

10.Whether it’s big or small, always have something to look forward to. It’s essential to help you get through things.

11.  Spend more money on experiences and less on material things. (e.g. trip to Las Vegas takes precedence over new iPod.)

12.Avoid reading comment sections on the internet, especially if you’re sensitive. You’ll lose all hope for civilization.

13.Save money whenever it’s possible, because as soon as you think you’re ahead money-wise, something expensive will break.

14.Always listen and ruminate, but never make important decisions based off of advice from someone who isn’t going to have to face the consequences.
