20 Things A Girl Needs To Know Before Turning 20

20 THINGS A GIRL NEEDS TO KNOW BEFORE SHE TURNS 20

Sure, its not as important as your 18th or your 21st, but turning 20 is actually a milestone in a girls life.

You are no longer a child or a teen! You are officially in your crazy 20's. Everyone says life changes once you turn 20. in the next 10 years you are most likely going to meet your soulmate, start a career, and who knows... Maybe you might have a kid in the next 10 years.

These are all big and exciting life events you have to look forward to in your 20s but before all of this, there are 20 things every girl needs to know before she turns the big 2.0:

1. Who YOU are

This is important in many different ways - before you turn 20, you should have a pretty good grasp on what you believe and stand for. Not only that, but know who you are as a person.

2. Your cooking skills

This one is not actually hard at all. If you know how to cook a solid three things, you should be golden. If not already then soon, you will be moving out of mom and dad's and will be living on your own with nobody there to make you delicious homemade meals. So learning a few of your mother's favorite recipes may not be a bad idea and if your parents are not the best chefs in the world. Remember, Pinterest is always a lifesaver.

3. Your self-worth

Don't you EVER let anyone tell you that you are not pretty enough or that you aren't good enough, because honey, you are beautifully and wonderfully made!

4. Know who your friends are

Your TRUE friends may or may not have been there since the start, but they are the ones who you never need to question their loyalty because they have stuck with you through the good and bad times.

5. The Best Friend knows best

If your best friend tells you not to date a guy who she thinks is bad news, LISTEN TO HER! Nothing is worse than hearing her say "I told you so," trust me on this. If you are crushing on a hot guy and are head over heels for him, she is the one who can tell if he is worth your time or not.

6. Never let a man tell you what to do

It doesn't matter if he is your boyfriend, husband, or even your boss. NEVER let a man try and take control of you or try and tell you what to do with your body or with your life.

7. Have standards

It is A-OK to have high standards - it shows that you have class and that you are not going to settle for anything less than what you deserve.

8. Its okay to splurge

Treat yourself! After these past few weeks, you deserve it girl. It's alright to splurge every now and then.

9. On the flip-side, know how to manage your money

Yes treating yourself is nice every now and then but so is paying your bill, so splurge - but also make sure to leave enough for the important stuff.

10. Your mother truly knows everything

No matter how much you hate to admit it, trust me - your mother knows what she's talking about. She's been there and done that and wants to help make sure her daughter doesn't make the same mistakes she has.

11. Know how to dress for the occasion

This one is actually quite important. Knowing how to dress business casual and being able to differentiate between business professional is something every young lady should know.

13. Its okay to say "NO"

If someone wants you to do something you don't want to do, you DON'T HAVE TO DO IT!

14. Know how to do laundry

One thing I have learned is to NEVER put a cream colored dress in with your load of colored clothes. You only make that mistake once.

15. Know the basics of your car

Knowing how to manage the basics on your car is good to know - such as putting in gas, changing your oil, and knowing how to fix a flat tire. If you break down on the side of the road with a flat tire, you could seriously save yourself some serious dough by fixing it yourself instead of having to call a tow truck.

16. Its okay not to have your life together

You just turned 20 or you aren't even 20 yet it is perfectly okay not to have your life together just yet. You are just starting your life - you'll figure it all out along the way.

17. YOLO

You only live once - eat the cake and buy the dress.

18. Learn how to be alone

You and your friends are growing older. You all are living your own lives, and sadly that means that you wont always be able to be with your bestie(s) 24/7. This can lead to a lot of free time alone on your hands. Learn how to be alone, meditate, take up a hobby, or read a good book - take some time to relax.

19. Know how to defend yourself

Sadly, we live in a world filled with messed up people. You could be out for the night in the city or just leaving work and someone could come and attack or mug you. Being able to defend yourself could possibly save your own life.

20. Be confident!

Confidence is sexy, but not only that, it is key! Be proud of who you are because you are smart, beautiful, and have so much going for yourself.

Your life is just getting started, so have fun and enjoy the ride. Your 20s are going to be fun!
