What Would A 20-something Do?
Posted by propinecone on Jan 05, 2009 · Member since May 2007 · 2842 posts
I have 1 month left of being a 20-something.
People always say "in your 20's you ________"
Are there any things i should get done before i hit the big 3-0? Silly things that i can then blow off later and say "Oh - well that was back in my twenties..."? I feel like i should make my last month fun-filled before i become old and boring.
(i'm kidding - i know many of you are over 30 and not the least old or boring)
ideas??
You don't look like you're near 30, so I wouldn't worry *too* much. ;)
But whatever anyone says, remind me in a couple years, ok?
"Old and boring"-- pffft. Not PPC.
you've had sex, right? ;)
I dunno, maybe drop everything for a weekend of frivolous fun, like at Vegas or something?
ha yes i can check off sex as an accomplishment.
& thanks meggs - i will definitely return the favor when your time comes..
when your time comes..
sounds like we're gonna die or something!
I did alot of my crazier things in my thirties, and I keep doing them! I always have little goals for each year, or a bucket list, lol
stuff that was on my list that I did was:
go to europe, go vegan, go back to school and change careers, take road trips(you seem to do alot of them!), give to charity, and in april I'm walking a half marathon.
you seem pretty adventuress, I bet you have done alot of cool things already!
Tattoos and orgies? ???
Dude, drop everything and go to Mexico for a week... or a weekend. Whatever. Just go.
I did it when I was 18. So, I can say "Back when I was 18... I spent some time in Mexico being drunk and playing beach volleyball every morning. Happy Hour began at lunch. I also haggled with boardwalk vendors in Spanish and had a fling with a very hot lifeguard who didn't speak English."
I also went to England. So, I can say "When I was 20... I went to England for two weeks. No reason, really. I stayed with a guy. Had some good sex. Went to some pubs. Tried to get in on the wrong side of a car. Saw a castle."
Then, a couple weekends ago I took off to New Orleans. So, I can say "When I was 25... I took a little road trip to New Orleans and walked down Bourbon Street at 11am with a double-shot hurricane daiquiri and was drunk by the time I reached the end of the French Quarter at noon. Then I rode a trolley back to Harrah's Casino and got lost walking around inside."
There was no sex involved with the New Orleans thing, mostly just because by 23 I had exhausted myself of the drama sex involves and made a foolish vow to wait until I'm married.
Maybe I'll actually be married by the time I'm 26...
THEN I can say "When I was 26... I got hitched, had a wild and crazy honeymoon in some awesome country having lots and lots of great sex and making out in public places with my husband."
I know someone who went to a nude beach for their honeymoon.... you could go to a nude beach!!!
Seriously, though. Grab a friend, drop everything, go on a road trip to somewhere you've never been and just do everything you can do for a reasonably small sum of money. That's what I do every couple of years, and I'm enjoying the hell outta my 20s! I'll be a crazy old lady talking about my wild adventures when I was a youngster, and I'm looking forward to it.

Good for any age, really. But you could always check it off as a twenty-something accomplishment and move on to bigger and better things as a thirty-something.
try to meet as many vegwebbers as you can all over the country! you've already met several!

I back this.

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Then, you can meet more/see us all over again at Sconefest.
I got married just before I turned 30. You could try that?
I remember when I turned 30 and how it just seemed like another birthday to me. I know it's cliche but it's how you feel inside. And believe me, when you turn 40, you'll look back at this day and say to yourself..."dang, I was really young when I was 30!" So, in the end, it's all relative, no? Have a toast at midnight with someone special and be thankful for all the days you've had in your life and all the ones that will follow.

Plus, get some tattoos, and have orgies.
I actually don't really recommend orgies, but it sounds good.
I ended up at a party that turned into an orgy once. But I was really drunk and passed out, so I can't say that I was actually active in the orgy. I woke up a few hours later, still dressed, I must say. Ah to be 18 again... :P
Seriously, in your 20s, just travel a lot, be open to all sorts of adventures. And even that, I don't think it's reserved for 20somethings only...

yeah no tattoos or orgies.. yet.
i like jeanacorinas idea of out of the country tavelling - so far i've only done u.s. and a tiny bit of canada. i feel like i've done a bunch of roadtripping this year though.. a month all over wisconsin (for work, but fun was still had), the whole west coast for a few weeks, and down to atlanta twice. i don't think i'll be doing anymore for awhile cus i don't have a car & i'm not speaking to my roadtrip partner.. i shouldnt be spending much money anway seeing that ive been 'f'unemployed for about 6 months...
i like the idea of a midnight toast, last year i did this on the eve of my bday.. it was a really fun countdown i had on a first date, but seeing as that he is the roadtrip partner i am not speaking to, i don't see that happening again.
if i get married in the next month i give you all permission to smack me.
Well! It looks like you've whittled it down to the tattoos and orgies! This is getting annoying, huh? I dunno, maybe just think of a new thing to try..
I just want to know how you are surviving while being unemployed for 6 months!

when i was working i was barely spending any money at all so i could save alot.. and unemployment checks help but those will be running out in the next month or so... eek!
So how about a tattoo? ;)b
Not quite as.... disease-catchy-possibly as an orgy.
Not as connected to another person as a marriage. (plus then we don't have to smack you)
Not as expensive as traveling 'round the country.
Still makes an excellent story.
Not quite as exciting as meeting more vegwebbers... but you can save that for, "Shortly after I turned 30, I met a ton of vegans from this veg website..."
I've got it. Travel to Mexico and get a tattoo of vegwebbers having an orgie!
perfect!!
