    Couldn’t agree more my friend. Wait til 26- that’s when the fanny packs arrive. BIG SIGH.

    Unsolicited advice from someone who left 25 behind a long time ago and would love to have a second chance to do it right:

    1) don’t sweat the small stuff
    2) work less!!!

  3. Skywalker says:

    It should make you feel better that Beyonce is 28 and Disney screwed a lot of young women over.

  4. Jo says:

    Sadly, some of these realizations last longer than 25… I’m 28 and still feel most of those.

    “Eating the entire Chipotle burrito when you swore you would only eat half.”

    This is true whether you are 25 or not.

    I have regrets.

  7. Hahaha…so funny and so true. However, cheer up, your only 25!!!! Try to see the beauty of life, we ruin the beautiful moments by focusing on negative ones. Your post made me smile, thanks:)
