19 Things To Stop Doing In Your 20s
1. Stop placing all the blame on other people for how they interact with you. To an extent, people treat you the way you want to be treated. A lot of social behavior is cause and effect. Take responsibility for (accept) the fact that you are the only constant variable in your equation.
2. Stop being lazy by being constantly âbusy.â Itâs easy to be busy. It justifies never having enough time to clean, cook for yourself, go out with friends, meet new people. Realize that every time you give in to your âbusyness,â itâs you whoâs making the decision, not the demands of your job.
3. Stop seeking out distractions. You will always be able to find them.
4. Stop trying to get away with work thatâs âgood enough.â People notice when âgood enoughâ is how you approach your job. Usually these people will be the same who have the power to promote you, offer you a health insurance plan, and give you more money. They will take your approach into consideration when thinking about you for a raise.
5. Stop allowing yourself to be so comfortable all the time. Coming up with a list of reasons to procrastinate risky, innovative decisions offers more short-term gratification than not procrastinating. But when you stop procrastinating to make a drastic change, your list of reasons to procrastinate becomes a list of ideas about how to better navigate the risk youâre taking.
6. Stop identifying yourself as a cliche and start treating yourself as an individual. Constantly checking your life against a prewritten narrative or story of how things âshouldâ be is a bought-into way of life. Itâs sort of like renting your identity. It isnât you. You are more nuanced than the narrative you try to fit yourself into, more complex than the story that âshouldâ be happening.
7. Stop expecting people to be better than they were in high school â learn how to deal with it instead. Just because youâre out of high school doesnât mean youâre out of high school. There will always be people in your life who want what you have, are threatened by who you are, and will ridicule you for doing something that threatens how they see their position in the world.
8. Stop being stingy. If you really care about something, spend your money on it. There is often a notion that you are saving for something. Either clarify what that thing is or start spending your money on things that are important to you. Spend money on road trips. Spend money on healthy food. Spend money on opportunities. Spend money on things youâll keep.
9. Stop treating errands as burdens. Instead, use them as time to focus on doing one thing, and doing it right. Errands and chores are essentially rote tasks that allow you time to think. They function to get you away from your phone, the internet, and other distractions. Focus and attention span are difficult things to maintain when youâre focused and attentive on X amount of things at any given moment.
10. Stop blaming yourself for being human. Youâre fine. Having a little anxiety is fine. Being scared is fine. Your secrets are fine. Youâre well-meaning. Youâre intelligent. Youâre blowing it out of proportion. Youâre fine.
11. Stop ignoring the fact that other people have unique perspectives and positions. Start approaching people more thoughtfully. People will appreciate you for deliberately trying to conceive their own perspective and position in the world. It not only creates a basis for empathy and respect, it also primes people to be more open and generous with you.
12. Stop seeking approval so hard. Approach people with the belief that youâre a good person. Itâs normal to want the people around you to like you. But it becomes a self-imposed burden when almost all your behavior toward certain people is designed to constantly reassure you of their approval.
13. Stop considering the same things youâve always done as the only options there are. Itâs unlikely that one of the things youâll regret when youâre older is not having consumed enough beer in your 20s, or not having bought enough $5 lattes, or not having gone out to brunch enough times, or not having spent enough time on the internet. Fear of missing out is a real, toxic thing. Youâve figured out drinking and going out. Youâve experimented enough. Youâve gotten your fill of internet memes. Figure something else out.
14. Stop rejecting the potential to feel pain. Suffering is a universal constant for sentient beings. It is not unnatural to suffer. Being in a constant state of suffering is bad. But it is often hard to appreciate happiness when thereâs nothing to compare it to. Rejecting the potential to suffer is unsustainable and unrealistic.
15. Stop approaching adverse situations with anger and frustration. You will always deal with people who want things that seem counter to your interests. There will always be people who threaten to prevent you from getting what you want by trying to get what they want. This is naturally frustrating. Realize that the person youâre dealing with is in the same position as you â by seeking out your own interests, you threaten to thwart theirs. It isnât personal â youâre both just focused on getting different things that happen to seem mutually exclusive. Approach situations like these with reason. Be calm. Donât start off mad, itâll only make things more tense.
16. Stop meeting anger with anger. People will make you mad. Your reaction to this might be to try and make them mad. This is something of a first-order reaction. That is, it isnât very thoughtful â it may be the first thing youâre inclined to do. Try to suppress this reaction. Be thoughtful. Imagine your response said aloud before you say it. If you donât have to respond immediately, donât.
17. Stop agreeing to do things that you know youâll never actually do. It doesnât help anyone. To a certain extent, itâs a social norm to be granted a âfree passâ when you donât do something for someone that you said you were going to do. People notice when you donât follow through, though, especially if itâs above 50% of the time.
18. Stop âbuyingâ things you know youâll throw away. Invest in friendships that arenât parasitic. Spend your time on things that arenât distractions. Put your stock in fleeting opportunity. Focus on the important.
19. Stop being afraid.

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always movingâŠWe pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitaminsâŠWe are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive as our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathersâŠWe are the daughters of the feminists who said âYou can be anythingâ and we heard âYou have to be everything.â

This entry is long overdue, but something inside of me wasnât able to write this entry. Being here in Amsterdam has made me question everything I do, say, and think. I think it would be accurate in saying that I have been doing a lot of inner exploring and self-evaluation while I have been here so far. I have recently in the past few months revisited an old hobby of mine. I stopped drawing and painting after my senior year, there was something inside me that just couldnât do it anymore. I slowly started moving into painting but there was still something holding me back from picking up my old sketch pad. On my first day of my studio class at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, we had to go around and state our artistic history and what our background of classes was. I was nervous to state that I was indeed a fine arts major at one point (although, not very long) due to the fact that I didnât want the expectation of what I would produce to be higher than the rest of the class. So, naturally I began stating everything I used to hate about drawing. How monotonous and emotionless my work became, how something changed inside of me and drawing became a chore. I guess I would say that I stopped drawing, when I stopped having assignments to draw. I used to beg and plead with my drawing teacher to let me ââdo what I wantedâ or to draw something more personal and that I could relate to, but when the time came my mind was suddenly blank. As if I couldnât think or imagine one item or scene that I felt strongly enough about to care to draw. - It was at this point that I realized I couldnât be a fine arts major, I destroyed my hobby.Â
With that said, when I began my process of applying for classes here in Amsterdam I saw that I would have the opportunity to take a beginners course in âArtâ. We would cover many aspect and experiment in many mediums. After I decided I would take on this challenge of going back to the fine arts, I found myself questioning if I made the right decision. - Was I really able to overcome my inner challenge and pick up a pencil? And do I really want to do it during my short stay in the Netherlands? The answer to this is obviously: yes, yes I do. As I read more and more about Amsterdam and the culture and environment I couldnât think of a better place to revisit my past and begin again. Amsterdam is filled with museums and galleries and thrives off the people and tourists who come and visit the abundance of master collections. I began to realize that the list of museums I âneededâ to visit began to outnumber any other list I had made prior to my arrival.
I am loving my time here and I try to go to at least one museum or gallery a week. There and so many and I know that even with this goal, I will still never be able to go to all of them. -Iâve also been to some twice! Most times I find that my experiences each time are complexly different.
