03 Sep 29 years: 20 things I would have told my 20 year old self

In a few months I will roll over into another year of my life, only this time it’s a new decade, 30.  My twenties have been amazing, but looking back, here are the things I would have told my 20 year old self.

1) Your twenties are going to rock

2) You will do more in 9 years than you ever imagined

3) You will fall in love once

4) There will be so many men, dates, experiences, and everything in between

5) FLOSS YOUR TEETH!

6) Do not chew ice

7) Moisturize your neck and face night and morning

8) It is so true, you can not eat junk forever.

9) if you can’t afford it, don’t buy it!

10) Max out your 401k from the get-go

11) You are so much more beautiful than you can ever understand

12) Do what you want, not what you think others want you to do

13) Take risks

14) Be kind, even when you want to be mean

15) Don’t try to be anyone but your authentic self, not everyone will like you, and that is ok

16) Do not waste a minute of your life on a man that doesn’t put you first

17) Be confident enough to walk away

18) Give to those in need until it hurts

19) Find an exercise you like, not the one that will give you ‘abs in 30 days’ or ‘shred the fat’, just find one you like so fitness is enjoyable.

20) Almost nothing is worth settling for
