So even though I have a few years left in the 20's... I feel like I have learned lots. I am actually 26, will be 27 August 5th. 27 seems A LOT older than 26.... it does right? Moving out of Lorena, living in Denton, Euless, and Keller, facing my fears, graduating college, rooming with friends, paying bills, traveling around the world, losing loved ones, experiencing weddings, babies, relationships, living on my own, and being responsible for over 400 children over the years have all shaped me during my 20's.
Anyways... I posted what another blogger girl said about the things she learned during her 20's and I think I am going to do my own version- even though hers was pretty great (of course my version is more wordy). So here I go...
What Lana Has Learned in Her 20's... So Far:)
1.) Surround yourself with friends and family who make you a better person.
2.) Journal, Reflect, Document- it helps and will be fun years from now!
3.) Don't worry about the number of friends you have - quality over quantity.
4.) Be confident in a humble way- others will respect it.

5.) Speak up for what you want or do not want! I used to have a hard time with this, because I am a people pleaser, but I learned what my boundaries are.... kind of :)
6.) Things that scare you- are normally good for you.
7.) Be your own quirky, silly self... yes, some people might make fun of you- but who cares!
8.) Sometimes you have to completely cut people out of your life... especially if they cause you heartache after heartache or trouble in general. I am not saying be mean, just don't let them drag you down too- cause that is usually what they want to do.

9.) Every person deserves a chance and SMILE.
10.) Always try your hardest- it will pay off... EVEN when everyone around you is slacking. People and God with notice and respect your for it.

11.) You will always feel better after doing something nice for someone.
12.) Forgive others easily.
13.) Comparison is the thief of Joy.
14.) Ask for help when you need it- you can't do everything on your own!
15.) It is all about who you know... so figure out what you want to do career wise and start making connections!
16.) Always try to be a good example/ role model- people watch you whether you want that or not.
17.) Travel! Like I have said before, book the ticket and then you have to go:)
18.) Take Pictures! Document important life moments.
19.) An encouraging letter goes a LONG way.
20.) Sometimes it is best to just be quiet and listen.
21.) Be happy for others, not bitter.
22.) Do not have a lot of credit cards- especially in your 20's! Go to Dave Ramsey.com
23.) Be positive even when everyone around you is negative. Being negative about life does not make you a happy person.
24.) Learn to love peoples differences.
25.) Sometimes friends/family members have to learn things for themselves- even if it is not the way you would do things or want them to do things. You just have to pray, encourage them, and let God handle it.
26.) GIVE UP CONTROL- Have faith.

27.) Sometimes a problem can be fixed with a bar of chocolate and a new item of clothing.
28.) Nap time is necessary for adults too.
29.) What you turn your nose up at will inevitably be something you must personally face.

There you go folks! I am sure I am missing some of the big life lessons that I have learned in my 20's but that is all I got for now:)
What have you or did you learn in your 20's??? I wanna know!
