    Unlearn The "Life Plan" Mindset

    From Redditor u/Comprehensive-Style9:

    Unlearn the "life plan" mindset. Sometimes, things change. You won't like the career that you majored in later as you do now. Or maybe you already started seeing the cons.

    But that's ok. Starting over isn't a bad thing. Life isn't a race. Don't compare your life to your cousin Johnny or your cousin Lily. They're already struggling with their parents' expectations. Also if you can, move away from your parents. You'll be surprised by how much parents can influence their children's lives & their choices.

    Quit Smoking

    From Redditor u/YouWillGiveMeTP:

    If you smoke cigarettes, quit. It's all sh*ts-n-giggles when you're in your 20s, but it'll catch up to you way quicker than you think. If you quit now your body still has time to heal much of the damage that has been done to it.

    Become Independent Enough

    From Redditor u/Sweepslap:

    Become independent enough that your responsibilities don't become someone else's problem to deal with, ESPECIALLY if you have roommates. Also, lose the douchey college bro attitude. Being an obnoxious know it or the unrelenting center of attention guy gets REAL old, real quick. Adulthood isn't a popularity contest.
