We Must Grow Up

Happy day friends, came across a world changing principle, let's laugh a bit before we continue on our goal series.

20 things you need to stop doing by the time you're 25

In case you need a primer, here are 20 things you

should outgrow by age 25.

1. Forming cliques

Groups that exist to shun others are best left in

high school — not that they were a good idea

back then, either.

2. Lying to your parents

If you can't talk about something honestly, it's

probably not a good idea in the first place.

3. Treating your body like a trash pit

All that eating like a frat boy will catch up to you

soon. Start fueling your body right.

4. Wanting what your parents have

The nice car and big house took decades of work.

You have to put in the time, too.

5. Living at your parents' house

See above (only this is worse).

6. Fighting in public

As an adult, you need to control your anger,

especially in front of others.

7. Changing your major each semester

If you're still trying to find a life direction at your

10-year high school reunion, it's time to pick

already.

8. Crashing on someone's couch

Get a job, and get your own place. It's time.

9. Dressing in crazy trends

Leave the cheetah print for the middle school

crowd, and find your own style. You can look

stylish and age appropriate — promise.

10. Campaigning for popularity

Not everyone will like you. It's OK.

11. Paying in change

Whether it's for gas or food, people will think you

still get an allowance from mommy.

12. Staying out at all hours

Leave the late nights to the college crowd, and

get enough sleep to keep your job.

13. Relying on credit

Now's the time to take responsibility for your

financial future. Racking up thousands in credit

card debt is not a good way to start adulthood.

14. Being uninformed

Pick up a newspaper and keep up on current

events. You'll look smarter.

15. Serial dating

Now's the time to look for a life partner. Don't

waste everyone's time with a series of two-week

relationships.

16. Running home every week

Your mom and dad will always love you, but they

don't always need to solve your problems.

17. Ignoring aches and pains

You're not a teenager anymore, and you need a

good doctor.

18. Sporting extreme styles

That tattoo, body piercing and purple hair are

going to make job interviews uncomfortable. You

might not like it, but that's reality.

19. Reliving the glory days

You are too old to still talk about that game-

winning touchdown you made senior year. Find a

new story.

20. Worry about what others think

This is your time. Use it to develop your sense of

self, free from what others expect of you. Examine

your beliefs about relationships, children, religion

and your career. You can't move on to the next

phase of your life unless you're willing to leave

the "younger years" behind. This is your chance

to find out what being an adult looks like for you

— and you alone.

WE Must Grow Up,  Don't waste them.

Hope you find this helpful, have a great day and live a great life.
