It has been a while since I established this goal, so I just want to give you a small update of my progress.

In my opinion, you wouldn’t know if you really made the most of your twenties unless your twenties has passed. I’m in my late twenties now (and I won’t tell you exactly how old I am), but this goal has been with me since my early twenties. Starting out, I had so much hope and dream [when I first entered college] with a firm belief that I will successfully make it.

Only heaven knows, I did all the right things but I still didn’t come out like I thought in the beginning after the economy turned up side down.

Now, I’m in my late twenties. I have changed a lot. As a public service announcement, I just want to warn many early twenties out there….that you will change, too. And you might be very surprised by the time comes.

For me, I have revised my feeling about this goal. I will do my best, as long as I look back and not shred a tear for what I have done, then I would be happy.

So, I’m going to travel to Sydney today using my buddy pass. Wish me luck! I had spent all day yesterday to get to LAX in order to leave the U.S.A but all flights were full (I blame it on Spring Break and every one wants to beat each other for their seat).

Anyway, that’s one thing I do to make the most of my 20’s. Hopefully, I will make it to Sydney, Australia by tomorrow, not for the sake of travel or enjoy the new country but mainly for visiting my grandmother who is ill.

Well, I guess…school starts in less than 24 hrs. Ok! I’m suppose to buckle up and study hard, right? Wrong! I’ve already been studying. The transition between summer and the fall semester doesn’t even exist. I found out that it’s the only safe way to not let the transition happen because it usually takes about a month for me to get into the study mood, which is too late. I think with graduate school, you usually know what to expect because you’re being very specific about your studies compare to undergrad.

Oh well, it’s part of making my time worth while because I’m hoping to make a comfortable living way beyond my twenties.

The thing about goals is that you have to give up something to have the others. I do admit that I gave up on some goals because the important ones took much more time and efforts to achieve. I hope that it’ll be worthed in the end. Hence, I’m doing the most I can with my 20s…working on stuff that I wouldn’t be able to do as I advance to other age groups. I mean…They’re probably doable, but they will require much more efforts than now.

Yeah! I made it to pharmacy school in my twenties! I hope to finish with pharmacy school before I turn 29 so that I will have at least one year left in my twentieth to do something fun or something that is non-academic related. Well, I hope that I will also have some fun time at NOVA pharmacy school in Florida because I will make lots of friends there.

Well, life is life. It’s so vast that we try to make sense out of it, which is called philosophy. I hope I will have the courage and strength to do everything I can to not wasting any moment of it…my twentieth is only come once.

The twenties?

haha…it’s the decade of too much works and no play. I tried to make the most out of it by learning new skills and being in college.

Surviving the twenties is hard. Sometimes, you just have to say: Fuck life!

What have I done so far for my twenties? Well, here’s a short list:

- learn about love
- attend college and have plan to complete it
- working
- be on my own (but scare about financial future b/c I’m in college)
- learn how to communicate effectively
- I’ve done many other things but I don’t really remember

The trick of being in your twenties is to survive happily with all the harships that you face. I’ll be doing more things to make the most of my twenties…for now, I’m happy with life.
