This was an old post from another blog that I discovered today looking for stuff on my flashdrive.
Things I’ve learned at the end of my twenties:
1. Panties from Target are just as cute as
Victoria’s Secret—but last longer and are cheaper
2. Wine is amazing.
3. Spending money on grown up things like new
tires, medical bills, and mortgages make you hate $.

Shopping for a new car is more fun

Staying out all night is no longer awesome—thank
God

Your girlfriends are going to be the best people
you could surround yourself with; especially since you’ve gotten rid of all the
phony ones you acquired earlier in life.
8-
Having someone to depend on whether it be gf,
bf, or bff really can make a difference in awful situations
9-
Losing people we love is going to start becoming
a more regular thing. Prepare your heart for that deep emotional loss—it will
never get easier when it happens
10-
Coupons are your friend
11-
Oil changes actually do matter
12-
Sometimes, your shoes will have to be for
comfort and not style
13-
Have one super sexy dress that you can wear out
on the town

Clean out your closet EVERY season. You don’t
want to end up on Hoarders when you’re mid-thirties….
15-
No, it is not okay to try to convince people
they need to have a baby to be happy—some people (ie ME) just don’t have the
parent bug. But they do know how to
take care of children, discipline them, and understand love for them.
16-
If you do have children, MAKE time for your
FRIENDS. Otherwise, they won’t be around on your “days off” or when the kids
grow up and go away. You are our FAMILY, and should remember you used to love
doing things with us too once.
17-
Never judge the book by its movie
18-
Never let someone make fun of what you’re
reading. By now, you know exactly what you like to read! Even if that includes:
wizards, romance, vampires, zombies, or teenagers.
19-
Pedicures are always a good idea and should be
included into your monthly budget
20-
You’re only 35 years away from retirement. Start
saving so you can actually enjoy it.
21-
Every girl should have a diamond ring. (Or one
with sapphires if it’s your favorite stone!)
22-
Your liver hates you by now. Go easy on him.
23-
It’s totally awesome to have “costume” or
“theme” parties. Embrace the youth!
24-
Go somewhere you’ve never been once a year. Even
if it’s Baltimore. You’ll be surprised at how pretty other states are.
25-
Losing a pet is going to be one of the hardest
things to experience (especially if you don’t have kids). Hug your friend, let them talk about the good
times. They just lost one of the greatest friends they’ve ever had.
26-
Learn to cook at least 1 thing REALLY well.
Everyone should be able to impress someone with their culinary skills.
27-
And don’t be a picky eater. Try everything at
least ONCE before declaring hate. Your
taste buds have improved!
28-
Remember every break-up or heartache leads you
one step closer to someone great.
29-
Laughing about things you did in college will
make your abs hurt. Prepare yourself.
30-
You’re pretty much the best version of yourself
at this point. You’re done “growing up” so start embracing the wonderful person
you’ve become. Let go of grudges, and love your friends and family.
