Today is my last day in my 20s. It is hard to believe that tomorrow I turn 30; I still feel like I should be 12. I almost feel like I need to offer advice to the youth of the world since I am joining the group of the more seasoned. So here is a bit of "wisdom" for all those youthful individuals who are remaining in their 20s while I press on into a new phase of life.
1. Don't wish for neices and nephews...once they start, your siblings may not stop having kids. This will change your financial status greatly. Christmas will no longer be a time of shopping for bargans to enhance your own wardrobe but will become a time of bargain hunting for the latest and greatest toys...which will all break the day after Christmas.
2. You thought that the early 20s were rough because of all the life changes...this doesn't stop once you hit 30 (or get really close to hitting 30). The changes are just accompanied by more physical aches and pains. Seriously...my feet kill and I still don't know what I want to be when I "grow up."
3. Parents really do age.
4. Friendships are harder to form, but the friendships are more rewarding.
5. Age really does make it harder to remember things.
6. Independence is great.
7. Independence is scary.
8. The memory goes down the drain.
9. Did I mention that my back hurts too?
10. Everything you thought you had figured out when you were 20, you should forget...you were probably wrong.
