Post-college, there's a re-adjustment to your perception of life and to your expectations.

You'll be mentally crushed under the weight of society's benchmarks if you allow it. Don't.

Stay positive, stay focused, and do not chain yourself to time/achievement deadlines. You're setting yourself up to be detrimentally discouraged.

Enjoy each day and don't whine about your current age and wish you could go back to a younger one. If you're 23, for example, and you do that, five or 10 years from now you'd look back at 23 and see you had nothing to really complain about, that 23 wasn't bad at all.

Live your life, enjoy it, and try your best. That's all you can humanly do anyway.

Don't put pressure on yourself, whatever your age. No one follows the same plan someone else does.

That is a damn good positive post. And this is my favourite thread in a long time on NT. I felt the same way as a lot of you did starting 12months ago when things didn't go as planned when I graduated. I turn 22 in August. The feeling has not gone away. I feel it is just one good break away ofcompleting the goals I want in a timely fashion. Things that I thought would be served on a plate when I was younger...I now realize is a lot tougher. Untilthat happens, I just got to keep working hard (strong salary position, MBA program acceptance, new home etc).

Thank you.

I've been there and I'm still acclimating.

In my late, late 20s now. If I could have my mid and early 20s back, a huge thing I'd not do is worry like I did. It didn't solve anything and mademe feel worse.

Do what you can - keep a positive attitude, keep focused, be prepared, find out what's necessary to achieve what you want and then go the extra mile - butdon't worry about it and don't put the weight of the world on yourself. Trying to live based upon what you think your family and friends think of youwhen things aren't going the way you wanted/thought can be really, really hard to handle. But don't pay attention to that - it's an illusion.

If I could encourage anyone in their 20s with this subject on their minds, it'd be to keep these things firmly in mind.

I've had multiple people tell me this recently.

I just turned 21 two months ago.
