Tomorrow I turn 20 which is quite a scary thought considering it feels like yesterday, I was turning 10 (yep everyone remembers the excitement of reaching double figures!) I'm not quite sure how I feel about turning 20, to be honest, I would have been quite happy remaining 18 but wouldn't a lot of people?!
However, I am quite excited to see what the next 10 years of my life bring; a lot of people say your twenties are the 'defining decade'. In today's post, I'm going to share with you 5 things I'd like to do in my twenties...
Graduate and get job I love (but don't settle) | I start my second year at university in two weeks time meaning I'm only two years from graduating (one if I don't do a placement). Once I've finished my degree, it's too early to say whether I plan on doing a masters but regardless, I hope to find my dream job in my twenties and keep working my way up the ladder.
Get over my fear of flying and travel | I've never been on an aeroplane (yep, that's right, never!) Therefore, I can't really say it's the flying I'm scared of, more fear of the unknown I suppose. In my twenties, this is definitely a fear I want to overcome because I feel like I'm missing out on so much beauty in the world. When I do eventually get myself onto a plane, I'd love to visit Italy, New York, and Australia.
Take care of my body | Everyone comes in different shapes and sizes (it would be a very boring world if we all looked the same!) So at 19 years and 364 days old, I think it's finally time for me to accept I'm never going to be super skinny. Just over 3 months ago, I rejoined my local gym and I've discovered a new love for fitness, I try to go at least 3-4 time a week and spinning has got to be my new favourite thing to do - I actually look forward to going! In my twenties, rather than constantly focusing on my body hangups, I want to learn to accept my body (flaws an all) and take care of it rather than striving for something that jut isn't achievable - with hips like mine, I'm never going to be a size 8 and I'm actually OK with that!
Get my own home/flat | Right now, I like living at home but one thing I definitely want to do in my twenties is get a place of my own (I already dream about decor and pin about it on my Pinterest) I particularly envy people with beautiful rooms turned into dressing rooms. That's the dream right there!
Just live life and enjoy it | I just want to spend the next 10 years of my life, loving it and living it. I don't want to be fretting about things like marriage and babies, because lets face it these things happen when they happen - you can't really say 'in 5 year time I want to be married with a baby' especially if you don't even have a partner.
So there you have 5 things I'd like to focus on throughout my twenties.
What would like to achieve in your twenties or what are some of the things you have already achieved?

Happy Birthday for tomorrow. It's strange reading this from the viewpoint of one in her late twenties! x
