Start investing as early as you can, as much as possible.
Run your own race and don’t compare yourself to law school peers or workplace colleagues as careers start to progress. Jealousy really is the thief of joy. Read the Stoics and invest the time to really understand yourself and what you want out of life, professionally and otherwise. See a therapist or even take a leave from your current job if that is what it takes to know thyself. Hang in there and I’m rooting for you.
Travel. It’s really hard to do as life gets more hectic
Get therapy if you're sad for months on end.
Friends are really important -- not just partying friends.
Go to business school earlier. Go to the very best US school you can get into for a good US network, go to the very best EU school you can get into to travel and see the world.
Enjoy the moment -- you'll never return to some of the things or places you love.
It's okay to be lost -- you'll want to change careers every 4-7 years. It will be less of an existential crisis each time it happens.
Reach out to mentors and older friends when you're lost. You can DM me. I've been there.
Pro
Focus on finding your spouse. Don’t wait until later in life.
lol I have my spouse thankfully so one less thing to check off 🫡 (I didn’t find her in Atlanta lmaoooo)
Pro
Do all the things you dream of doing now. Don’t wait. It’s easier now than it will ever be to take risks, pivot, explore, and experiment. If you wait longer, it just gets harder especially if you get married and have kids. And, a lot of people end up resentful of their spouses and kids that way. Glad I got everything out of my system before becoming a parent later in life so I’m not trying to live through my child, stay stuck living in the past, or trying to relive my glory days in my 40s. I also feel I’m so much further ahead of most of my peers professionally now because of all the different things I’ve done, place I’ve lived and traveled to, and lessons learned from all that. Live your life so you have no regrets.
I posted this before and it resonated with a lot of people, hope it helps you too:
Quick reminder that no one will ever remember what client you worked on or project you delivered, but your friends and family will remember how you make them feel and whether they are important enough. Keep the main thing the main thing, don't let anyone else convince you otherwise!
The rat race is real -a fellow mid 20s
Don’t be afraid to reach out to someone to chat - you’ll find feeling lost is normal and others are happy to tell you how they thought about it at your stage of life
Save money early (and learn how to invest). Take care of your real friends and family, the weekend friends won't be there when you're in a pinch. Get sleep, moisturize, and try to take care of your body. It's a lot harder to reverse bad behavior/obesity than it is to just stay consistent in your youth
At 25 you are just starting out. Take the risk and don’t be afraid to fail. I know this can be hard but nobody bats an eye at a 25 year old changing careers. If you were 55 it would be harder. Make the risks now while you still have so much time!
