Travel, try new things, and meet lots of different people. And, so you don’t regret your 20’s at a later date, learn how to manage your money.

In retrospect.

sex, drugs and rock and roll

Get a puppy on your 30th! That way you’ll remember your 20’s as a carefree, no-responsibilities era.

Because really, all you should worry about is being happy. If you worry about how you’re going to look back on something you’re probably not enjoying the present.

Carpe diem. Make every moment count by remaining wide-eyed with wonder, curious and interested in the world around you. Allow people to be nice to you and allow yourself to be nice to them. Absorb all you can, identify what you are passionate about and do that as often as possible, until it is your life.

@lynfromnm That is simply a wonderful answer!

The best way to enjoy your 20s, is to pretend that you will not make it to your 30s. i did this with each crossover generation and today at age 66, i actually feel that i have lived my life to the fullest. life is what you make of it, so live for today and pretend tomorrow may never come.

Same as you do in your 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and so on, make every minute count, don’t procrastinate, take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way and if opportunities don’t seem to be coming your way, go out and create them.

The main difference between experiences in your 20’s and your 60’s is that in your 20’s you probably can do them more quickly and not be as stiff the next day but in your 60’s you probably appreciate them more.

Be a little impulsive. You don’t want to end up with some retarded tattoo or a car with a ridiculously high payment or something… this isn’t your midlife crisis. But, experiment and take chances. Get plenty of safe sex. Seek the new outside your comfort zone. See what creative things you can do without money. Spend time outdoors. Volunteer. Just remember that variety is the spice of life. The time to test this theory is now. Good luck to you!

Live life to the fullest but in a Godly way.

Buy a calendar and each day write in something that made it great to be alive. Write in dates, outings, plan adventures.

Go easy on yourself if you don’t have the job of your dreams because very few people do.

Aside from that, I can tell you there’s nothing special about the 20’s that you can’t also do in your 30’s and 40’s.

Travel as much as you possibly can. You’ll never regret it, and life’s various situations make it harder and harder to do as you get older. Also, have as many (relatively safe) experiences as you can. Build some memories to talk about from your rocker at the old-age home. Do some good for others, too.
