so your 20-something, now what?

Although some may argue, being a twenty something in this world is not as care-free and youthful as Hollywood might make it out to be. When you are a twenty something there are social limitations, expectations, and depending on what side of the hallowed 21 year mark you fall on, boredom.

So what ARE you supposed to be doing as a twenty something? Here is my recommendations to get you away from the oblivion that is your tumblr account, facebook, jersey shore, and whatever mindless shows that have the same basic overly-tan-people-with-fake-tits-and-too-much-money-so-they-fight-because-they-are-too-unintelligent-for-normal-activities.

 Volunteer. Do you know how underly-funded most necessary education, animal, child, and clean up projects in this country are? Volunteering is great for the twenty something because it is the chance to give you a taste of a grown up job without the grown up responsibilities or commitment that comes with such a position. If you know what you want to be doing in ten years, then great! Volunteer in that field, if you are not so lucky as to have your life mapped out yet, then dive into any and every opportunity you have to get the fullest range of opportunities you can. Also, making a name for yourself amongst the volunteer community may open doors for more permanent positions later on in life.

Fate is real, fate is all around us opening the doors for people who have knocked loud enough to be heard. Fate will reward you if you put yourself in the right place at the right time to let her work her magic, I promise.

peace, love, and keep your head above the water.
