I’m In My 20s, Why Do I Feel Like I’m Behind Everyone In Success?

I’m In My 20s, Why Do I Feel Like I’m Behind Everyone In Success?

Oooof…okay I know what you are going to say: “It’s okay Rachel success is unique to each person” and blah blah blah. Don’t get me wrong though, I am confident on the path I am going down. But I feel like I haven’t achieved enough…so why is that?

Taking the social media influence out of the picture, there is unrealistic expectations placed on young adults to be making six-figures right out of college, buying houses, getting married, traveling the world, etc. Yeah, some people get that, but why are we pasted with this stereotype?!

In the past year I have learned more than I have within the past year than I have in four years of college. What have I learned? That no one is prepared for the real world. There is a night and day transition, especially with no homework, where shit starts to get real.

The paper chase is on, but am I keeping up with working full time, reading, networking, and relaxing when all said and done, enough? I just want to know if I am doing okay…am I doing all the right things? Asking for a confused friend.

xoxo, triple tea
