Life in your 20s has its ups and downs. On one hand, you are breaking free of that horrible time suck they call 'school' and taking back your free time, but on the other you're learning that your college days are long gone and that your priorities and, more importantly, schedule are changing.
Welcome to my life.
I graduated college a semester early, so I was able to stay 'stuck' in my old life for a little longer. My weekends still revolved around going out partying and I was over 21, but certainly not too old to dance on a bar.
But with the mid-twenties approaching (I turn 25 next month) I am finding it hard to find friends on my same page. I like to go out for drinks and don't get me wrong, I love dancing. But I'm a lot mellower than I used to be... I like to think it's the real me. That the party-goer me was just my insecurities coming to life and looking for acceptance. My fiancee has had a lot to do with that change as well. Not merely because I now have someone to do nothing with, but because I've learned to be less selfish and think of others wants and needs, too. He is not the going-out type, at least not to the places that I would have frequented. Now I find myself second guess making plans to go out to these places, not because I am choosing him over my friends, but because I want him included in the things I do. Hes at the top of my priority list.
In a nutshell, I found a really great article that sums up exactly why you drift from your friends and old lifestyle, once you're in your 20's. Check it out here -----> 7 Reasons Why You Lose So Many Friends in your 20s.
Do you have extra friend baggage to get rid of?
