What to Expect in Your 20’s

By Megan Cynaumon

Dear Avery,

I want to share some life lesson gems that I’ve learned thus far:

• When driving, if you see one cop on the road… you will almost always see another cop that same day. So let the first cop be a warning.

• I was told that when you turn 25, your body starts to feel old. This is true. So keep working out! 🙂

• Acne doesn’t stop at 19 — lame!

• Good friends will come up with excuses to hang out with you like starting a book club. Yes, we love books, but its really an excuse to have some girl time!

• Movies get so much better than just watching chick flicks

• Music gets so much better than just boy bands — even classical!

• Your mom will turn into one of your best friends. So when you are in your teens, don’t shrug her off.

• People will constantly remind you how young you are when you are in the working world. But really they are just outing their own age, so just laugh it off and OWN your 20’s.

• Wine is good, I promise.

• The hottest boy just turns out to be the hottest guy (usually). Look beyond that.

• If what your wearing is painful or uncomfortable, it will show.

• You’ll pay a lot more for better quality make-up…but trust me, its better than the cheap stuff.

• Reading is finally cool. Find friends who will admit it and get reading!

I hope you enjoyed those little gems of what is to come. More to come…let me just live some more life to give you the goods!

With love,

Aunt Megs*
