Today, I was looking over some old notes from high school when I came across a list of things I wanted to accomplish by the time I'm 25. I haven't accomplished a single one. I'm 26. FML

Wasted youth

Today, I’m 25 years-old. I was unattractive in high school and college. In the last two years I’ve glown up. Also, rent, gas, and food have all gone up in price. I can’t afford dates and I've had to work weekend nights at every job since I was 18. I hate these “rich kids” my age. FML

Today, I was trying to work out, and couldn't even complete an exercise regime meant for 50-year-olds. I'm 24. FML

Figure it out

By brosef - 17/02/2024 11:00 - United States

Today, I'm a guy who's always been physically a late bloomer. In high school, I looked too young for girls to like me. At 22, I still looked 17. Now at 25, I look good but when girls find out my age, they expect me to have everything figured out by now. I never got to be young. FML

Today, I'm nearly 30 years-old, and not only am I still a virgin, I've never even had my first kiss. FML

Time

Today, I used to look so young for my age that in high school, I was regularly mistaken for a freshman. I never succeeded in getting dates because of it. Today, I'm 25 years-old and regularly get confused for being in my thirties. I guess all the stress from work, loneliness, and rejection really caught up. FML

Turned out OK

Today, I found my high school diary and decided to read it for nostalgia. My teenage self wrote, “Future me will totally be rich, famous, and married to Chris Hemsworth by 30.” I’m 32, single, and googling “How to fix a clogged toilet.” FML

Today, I've come to terms that I'm only living to work. I'm going to be 25, no friends, never had any experience with women. Been trying all year to meet someone, hasn't worked out at all. Dead end job, school did nothing for me. I literally just exist to work, and have no happy memories at all. I give up. FML

Today, I realized that even though I was an honor student throughout school, and considered the golden child who was going to go far in life, all I've accomplished a year after graduation is becoming an unemployed single mother still living with my parents. FML

Kinda depends on the goals. If they were like "become the next Hitler" or "kill many babies" I'd say it's good you haven't accomplished them.

Things change. People change. Some of your goals could have be unrealstic. I thought for sure I was gonna be an athletic trainer by now. However, my plans changed. I found my passion was in forensic psych. Think about all you have accomplished. That's what's important. And set goals for yourself but, don't give them a strict deadline. You're only 26 and still very young. @ #25 everyone fails at one thing or another in their lives. we are all humans. humans fail at things. whether it's something big or small.

not a big deal, there are many people with such lists, including me and most of us i believe didn't accomplish them either! the thing is, check the list again, if you still care any of them, begin them again...

That's ok, you're young and there's plenty of time. Change it to things to do by 30, and get crackin on that list! Looking at the list is surely a motivator.

Just review the list and re-evaluate your life to see if anything is relevant to you today. When I was in high school I planned on being a music major in college and performing in a symphony. After one year of college I left to tour the country with a music group and didn't return to school until 25. At that time I decided to change my major to Forestry. I went backpacking across the country and then left school for awhile to live on an Indian Reservation. I have since changed my major to Wildlife Conservation. I would never have predicted any of the above would happen, however I have no regrets about the path I have taken. It's good to have goals to keep you on track but sometimes getting hung up on them keeps you from enjoying all the surprises life has to offer.
