I don’t know if I really think that your 20s are “the best years of your life”, but a lot of people seem to say that they are.

The truth is, your 20s are a giant clusterfuck if you don’t work to get your shit together. In your 20s, you will likely be physically healthier than any other decade of your life. You will have fewer responsibilities than any other decade in your life. It will be easier to make changes in your 20s than in any other decade in your life.

These are 20 habits that will ruin your ability to make your “roaring 20s” into your “stable 30s”.

Cheating (in anything).

Just don’t do it, especially if you want to look at yourself in the mirror later that day.

The best way to increase your aging process is to become an unethical human being.

Hooking up with people you barely know.

I did this a lot in college. I never felt good about it. It was never fun.

Don’t let me hold you back, but hooking up with strangers was not for me.

Drinking (a lot of) alcohol.
