30 Things I've Learned Before 30

Post Author: Rachel 

Well, it’s time to say adios to my 20’s and embrace my 30’s! My 30th birthday is coming up this month so I thought I’d reflect on a few life lessons I’ve learned over the years. Now, I definitely have not perfected all of these by any means, but I hope to continue working on these lessons and learn a whole lot more over the next decade! ​

30 Things I've Learned Before 30

30. ​Drink good wine - no one needs a bad wine headache 

29. 
Learn how to cook - take a cooking class or try a new recipe from Pinterest, it’s a very necessary life skill and keeps you from eating out all the time 

28. Network - meet as many people and make as many friends as you can find 

27. Don’t hold onto things - purge your closet once a year, if you haven’t worn it all year, donate it 

26. Take care of yourself - workout regularly, eat your vegetables and take your vitamins, but still indulge occasionally

25. Nothing good happens after midnight - my mom told me this all the time and she was right

24. Find a good hairdresser and go every 3 months 

23. Read books - go to the library and find a good book to get lost in 

22. Don’t waste time on social media - it can suck you in, don’t let it 

21. Compliment others - everyone likes a compliment, hand them out like candy 

20. Don’t waste time dating until your 20’s and even then, be selective 

19. Invest your money and talk with a financial adviser to make the best plan for your future

18. Learn how to do laundry - for stains, use cold water; never wash reds with lights; use hot water for bedding and towels 

17. Explore your city - take a weekend to be a tourist in your own city. Try new restaurants, check out the hot spots, and see what all your city has to offer.

16. Politics - figure it out for yourself and then don’t talk about it 

15. Be kind to everyone you meet - even if you’re having a bad day, smile and say thank you 

14. Get a dog - they are the best and will love you forever. Plus, it's been statistically proven that dog owners live longer. 

13. Invest in your skincare line - bad skin is a bad day, just fork up the money and take care of your face 

12. You don’t always have to be right - this is hard for my very stubborn self but sometimes, it’s just not worth it

11. Maximize every opportunity - whatever stage of life you are in, live to the fullest 

10. 
Be open to new opportunities and try new things 

9. But also know, that you can say no - sometimes you need a break, take it

8. Be yourself, apologetically

7.  Invest in your mattress - you spend at least a third of your life sleeping, make your mattress a good one 

6. Visit family often and call them regularly - they're the most important people in your life, invest in them and cherish every moment 

5. Serve your spouse - anything from a sweet compliment in the morning to making their favorite meal, whatever your love language, share it generously 

4. Pray with your spouse 

3. Find a church and get involved 

2. Travel as much as possible - see the world! You can do this on a budget too, do your research and make a priority list. 

1. Getting old isn’t something to dread, it’s something to celebrate! I’m older and wiser and excited for this next chapter in my 30’s!
