It’s now 2 weeks post birthday and I am still confused as to what 22 means.
Am I supposed to have everything sussed out? Should I be telling people my 5-10 year plan? If I’m supposed to be doing that then I guess I’m doing it all wrong – I don’t have a 5-10 year plan so theres also that…
I have done my googles and researched what to do at age 22 and Google gave me about 7,040,000,000 results (in 0.55 seconds). To be honest I did what any sane person would do and just clicked the top few and got even more overwhelmed. Far too many people tried telling me things that I NEED to be doing while I’m 22. I hate people telling me what to do.
One article did however offer some helpful advice:
- Network
- Collect memories and not things
- Be nice
- Enjoy what you do have and do not focus on what you do not
- Read
I think these are 5 great things to keep in mind throughout this strange journey of 22.
I will not let the fact that 21 seemed easy and that I actually had a plan stop me from achieving great things this year. I will create a new plan, network to improve my future, collect memories with my nearest and dearest, be kind to everyone, enjoy life and what I currently have and be sure that I read often.
No matter if you’re 5 or 22, I hope a 5 year old reads this because that would be so advanced but anyway, please do not let other peoples journey overwhelm and confuse your own. We are all out here doing different things and at different speeds. Just do what you can and don’t let your age define you.
