I think many of us envisioned walking into our twentysomething adult lives with all our ish firmly in place.
But just like getting that Pop Quiz when you didn’t do the reading, you enter your 20s and realize you don’t have any of the answers on the test.
Yep, being in your 20s is a lot like middle school all over again. The good, the bad, and the awkward.
1. You Still Call in Sick at the Sign of a Large Zit.
We all know the feeling. When that painful spot protrudes from your nose like a miniature prairie dog is trying to burrow up through your pores. And bring his family with him.
God, if you’ll please just vanquish this zit before it can sprout I promise I won’t eat greasy food again. And I’ll volunteer for childcare at church.
The details of this prayer might change a little from middle school to our 20s, but the goal remains the exact same.
I have a petition circulating to make it illegal for acne to exist after age 15. Once I get a 2.5 million signatures, I’m sending it straight to God.
2. Guys are Still Too Nervous to Ask a Girl on a Date
To be honest, guys might even be more nervous to ask a girl out on a date than when we were in middle school. At least in middle school you could only really venture as far into the world of dating as your mom’s blue minivan could take you.
Now, dating, means, umm…well…do you want to grab some coffee? Do you want to hang? Grab a bite? Anything, but go on a date?!
Because is she into me? Am I into her? Is there potential here? Is there too much potential? Do I want there to be potential? What is the potential of potential?
Asking a girl on a date in your 20s is just as scary as walking across that gym floor to ask for a dance. And now the stakes, and eye-balls on you, feel even more intense.
3. You’re Still Learning About Who You Are
You don’t enter your twenties with the You-Instruction-Manual all written out. And as I step up to the edge of the Big 3-0, I can safely say you don’t leave your twenties with all the answers either. Who you are is a life-long class and we will always have something important to learn.
That’s why I’m so passionate about the new online course I’m creating to help people find their Signature Sauce, where your purpose and passion meet how to make money.
