Our 20s is probably the most defining decade because it probably has the most crossroads that inevitably affect the trajectory that flows into our later years.

  • Who do we choose to be with
  • What city do we choose to live in
  • What we choose to do with our lives
  • Etc

Here is what our 20s look like:

Early 20s

This is probably the easy part of your 20s.

It's usually the age between 22–24.

So it's basically where you are swept with the crowd to go to college, pick a major, graduate and kickstart your career.

Everything seems new and you are trying to figure out who you are as a person, what you want in life and just navigating how life works.

You don’t need to put much effort into making friends or having community with others because that usually comes easily in your social setting through, college and school.

Mid 20s

This is usually around the age of 25–27.

You are entering the workforce and realising that this is the reality of life.
