20 things to do in my 20s

Unbelievably, I have reached my 20s! When I was younger I thought 20 was so old  and people in their 20s had their lives together  (when I was really young I decided I wanted to be married with kids at 21- HAHAHAHAAHAH),  boy was I wrong!    People say your 20s are the most unstable years, I guess I can see why...you're trying to figure out how to adult, what you're doing in life whilst trying to balance work, relationships, etc....
