Definitely not suspicious at all. Nope.
Hi guys,
I am currently on notice period and my LWD is Sep 2, 2022. Today, I got an offer from state street mentioning my joining date as Sep 12, 2022 even though I already told HR that I would like to join from Sep 5 itself. How can I convince HR to prepone my joining date to Sep 5, 2022. I don't want to lose my one week salary guys. Pls suggest. State Street

I would have told my 25 year old ass to leave that a*hole, to not let a man bring you down, and to live life, oh and to incorporate retinol in daily face routine. 😂

Oh man, the second half of your twenties is awesome- you have more experience and ability in your life, and you’re still so young and have all this energy to go out and have even more experiences. For advice, I’d say: say “yes” to new opportunities more than you say “no”, make sure you have a good savings plan, make good exercise habits, and stop worrying about what other women your age are up to. You are going to be awesome and love this!
It’s way better after 25. Your prefrontal cortex is now fully developed and it makes life so much easier .
I feel the same way! Less concerned about societal and peer expectations/norms and more about listening to my inner voice. I also post and focus way less on social media than I did before.
I’d tell myself to stop freaking out about getting older - it’s a gift, truly, and I now embrace and celebrate every year I have. I would tell myself to never tolerate people who didn’t treat me well (luckily not many!), and to live abroad before the mortgage and marriage.
It’s such a great age. Remember how beautiful you look. How smooth your skin is and how important it is to appreciate it all. Don’t obsess over your appearance, please. I guarantee you are far more lovely than you think you are. Also don’t jump into marriage before you’re really truly ready.
Also contribute to your 401(k)!

I just turned 26. Looking back at 25... Never cry over a man or beg him for love
I turn 26 next month and I second this! Leave him (whoever he is) he is more than likely not worthy! Spend time with yourself whether that be getting your nails done or eating out alone etc. The people you love and appreciate tell them what they mean to you. And the best advice I could give is to never rush it. Everything has its own timing.

I would tell myself to be prepared for my hips to grown in.
Don’t be alarmed by everyone suddenly getting married bc half will divorce the following year and a half.
Spend some times getting to know yourself. Find the lesson in everything so you don’t have to learn the same lesson twice.
I’m turning 25 in a couple months and I feel the same. Like 24 feels like I can be unsure about my life but 25??? I’m not ready
You’re still so young even though if may not feel that way! ENJOY IT. Say yes, take chances, have fun and don’t take everything too seriously. Mid 20s were the best.
So I realize this will sound superrrrrr privileged, but 25 was hard for me because my life was so great I just kept waiting for something to go catastrophically wrong and I felt like things could only go downhill. I had a good career, a good boyfriend, a house, etc. Well life has had its challenges, but at 29 I’m happier than I ever was at 25 or I ever thought I would be. Life can be challenging and unexpected, but also wonderful.
I turn 25... this Friday... Friday the 13th... in 2020. I’m scared.
Sending prayers and thoughts of champagne your way
For people in your 20s I recommend reading “the defining decade”. I found it really motivating and informative.
I second this!! I reread it every year
I turn 25 this week! I feel like life can only get better after the year we’ve all had!
Given that I just turned 25, I'd just say, it really doesn't feel any different. You occasionally forget that you're now 25... (Whoops).
You have more credibility when you talk to clients (akward laugh since we're all faking it anyway).
Just make sure you value your time. Eat the damn cake. Spend your money in ways that makes you happy; but add to that 401k and IRA.
I’d told myself: party more and worry less!!!
When I turned 25 an older colleague told me the 2nd half of my 20s would be better than the first. At the time I thought no way! How can it even compete with college years? But of course it turned out to be 100% true, and I hope the same for you!
Well if it wasn't covid times I would say party and travel and say yes to as many social activities as possible. I'm 31 now with different priorities that I am totally happy with but I occasionally miss those times and love to reminisce about the good ole days of flirting with strangers in bars and doing weekend trips to miami with my best girlfriends. I still get together with my girlfriends but with less frequency and usually in the comfort of our own homes. It's still great, but it's not the same lives we were living as 20-somethings
