15 Things You Do in Your 20s That You Wouldn’t Do in Your 30s

From uncomfortable heels to hangovers...

Earlier today we read about a graph that compares how you are in your 20s with how you are in your 30s (see diagram below – now we feel like we’re in our teens and back in school).

It got us thinking about how the two decades can be very different. Here are 15 things you do in your 20s that you wouldn’t do in your 30s…

Go out two nights in a row

How come partying gets so much harder the older you get? Surely practice should make perfect.

Buy heels you can’t walk in

Ain’t nobody got time for walking like Bambi on ice.

Binge watch a television show from start to finish (even if you’re supposed to be in work)

It’s called getting your priorities straight.

Call your mammy to ask her how to do the washing

Not because you don’t want to, because you’ve probably asked her 100 times by this stage.

Twerk

That’s because hips and bums get old… and sore.

Go to work hungover

It’s not worth it.

Wear dresses that are mind-boggling (in all senses of the words)

If you learn one thing over years of wearing impractical outfits, it’s that comfort should always win.

Date the guy that has no potential

Why waste the time?

Take advice from everybody

Person in their 20s: “Thanks so much.” Person in their 30s: “If I wanted your advice, I’d ask for it.”

Go on a drinking holidays

Really anything that revolves around alcohol goes by the wayside.

Eat a takeaway every night of the week

There are budgets (and waistlines) to think about!

Spend the money you should use on food on anything but food

Bills, mortgages, tax, insurance, the list goes on… and on…

Ignore all dentist and doctor appointments

Health is important.

Make drunken phone calls

After 10 apologies, you learn.

Tell the truth about your age

Needs must.
