I hear so many friends and peers talk about how they feared turning 30 (obviously an exaggeration but I’m sure you’ve also heard that) and how they wish they can stay in their 20s. Honestly for me, my 20s were kind of ass. I had a really hard time figuring out what I wanted in life after college, plus I was a broke 20 something year old paying student debt with a career I didn’t enjoy at all. I also had a lot of bad habits like excessive drinking, smoking a lot of devils lettuce, bad eating, etc.. I still have most of those habits just on a much smaller scale.
I’m sitting here now procrastinating from doing my job that I actually don’t mind and just kind of realized the future looks like a lot brighter than the past does. Sure, with age comes things that are tough to deal with but that’s life. I think about what I have been able to accomplish from 20-29 and truly get excited to think about what I can do while I’m in my 30s.
It’s crazy because I definitely thought I’d be the person saying I’m 29+ not 30 but I’m definitely embracing it which is a pleasant surprise. Anyway, thanks for listening to my rant and shoutout getting old!
We used to cook a whole hog at my fraternity on game day. Man what I’d do to have that back
