Lots of wonderful things start to happen as you enter your twenties. Firstly, and most importantly, you can drink. Also there are some other benefits: you gain full independence, you get a place of your own that you can do whatever you want in, you can spend your time with the most questionable, depraved characters you can find in your local alleyway and no one will tell you not to.

But with great freedom comes great responsibility. You have bills to pay, you have to get a job and actually keep it even if it sucks. All of a sudden there are no more scapegoats. No longer will you get a slap on the wrist for messing up; you’ll be reprimanded to the fullest extent of the law. No one will come to shoo away that aggressive looking spider in the corner of your room; you have to pull up your pyjamas and swipe a newspaper at it. In short, it gets real.

In light of this turbulent, distressing time of your life, no one could blame you for making the odd mistake here and there, or everywhere. Check out our list of 15 mistakes everyone made in their twenties.

15. Having Dreams 

Perhaps the biggest mistake you will make in your twenties is having dreams. Throughout the course of your young-adult life, you begin to realize that your dreams are really stupid.

For years it was drilled into you;:“You can be whatever you want to be;” “You’re special;” “All your dreams will come true.”

In your twenties, the optimistic part of you will try to stay afloat for some time. It will tell you, “Next time you’ll get the job,” “Soon you’ll be rich,” or “You can still be an astronaut, I swear.”

But reality rears its ugly head. So one morning you gather up your silly ideas and stoically dig a big hole under a sycamore tree, toss them inside and bury them deep.

Then with a deflating acceptance, you go out and get a mortgage.
