In under two months I will turn 25. Yes it is frightening. I will be a quarter of a century old. And I haven't accomplished a lot in those 25 years. I had high hopes for myself in high school. I thought by the time I was 25 I would be so much farther ahead in life and would have had things figured out and accomplished... I was naive.
This is what I thought I would have completed by the time I turned 25:
- University degree
- Have a teaching job
- Started to save
- Travelled more
- Married
- Started a family
Seriously though this is like a third of my life and I haven't accomplished anything great like I had thought I would. It means the bar has been raised for the next portion.
This year will be much like last - there won't be any celebrating. I don't think there's much to celebrate. I am not saying my life has been a waste, cause I know that is far from the truth. It's just in the past seven years I haven't quite kept up to the standards I had earlier and when looking back and completing my portfolio I seem like less of a useful person in society. I didn't celebrate last year because you all forgot about me and made other plans, so why would we celebrate this year?! pshaw - no!! It's just another day... that's what I keep trying to remind myself.

I don't think you should look at it that way!!! I think you should look at it more as "PLANS CHANGE!" and "LIFE HAPPENS!"
I totally screwed up my five-year plan by buying my car :P
