30 Things Every Woman Should Quit Doing By 30
We’ve talked a lot about things every woman should do-or, at least know how to do, by the time she turns 30. However, until now we haven’t focused too much on the no-nos for women after 30. After the jump, 30 things every women should stop doing once she turns 30.
1. Buying clothes from the junior section.
2. Forgetting her parents’ birthdays.
3. Making out with her BFFs at bars for attention.
4. Making out with her boyfriend at bars for attention.
5. Filling her bed with stuffed animals (really, even one is too many).
6. Carrying a torch for anyone she hasn’t seen in the last five years.
7. Rebelling against her parents for the sake of rebelling against her parents.
8. Declaring an entire gender “all jerks.”
9. Holding a grudge against anyone who wronged her in high school.
10. Skipping regular gyno exams.
11. Going to bed without washing and moisturizing her face.
12. Being “that person” who had a bit too much to drink at the office party.
13. Crushing on Justin Bieber.
14. Thinking she’s got it all figured out.
15. Calling her father “daddy.”
16. Engaging in sibling rivalry.
17. Trying to get by on her looks.
18. Living paycheck to paycheck.
19. Expecting a man/knight in shining armor to swoop in and save her.
20. Aimlessly jumping from job to job.
21. Using MySpace to pick up guys.
22. Expecting a man to do all the wooing.
23. Wishing she had someone else’s life.
24. Expecting everyone to drop everything because it’s her birthday ...
25. ... or because her “boyfriend” of two weeks dumped her.
26. Measuring her self-worth by a number on the scale.
27. Being cheap.
28. Quitting a job without having a new one lined up first(in this economy!).
29. Blaming her mother for all her issues.
30. Romanticizing her 20s.
I agree with most of this stuff, but come on, I can't keep my teddy bear in bed with me when I'm 30, are you kidding me? That was a joke! However, who doesn't romanticize or think about there 20's. Hell, people do that way into their 40's & 50's let alone 30's. Quite frankly, at least in LA the 30 is the NEW 20, and I'm all for it, because in 5 fast years, 30 is going to sneak up on me and bite me in the butt. I would agree by 30 you should stop being cheap women, buy that pair of shoes you may want, or that new bag, or whatever it may be... if you've worked for it, spoil yourself. Financially, you should NOT be living paycheck to paycheck get a plan or some plans, a savings, and stick to it. And as the infamous Kat Williams basically stated if your over 25 and still walking around suggesting that ALL men aren't (excuse my french) sh*t, then perhaps sweetie there is something wrong with you. So by 30 you should have stopped blaming men for almost all the reasons you are unhappy. And last but not least who seriously, could not crush on Justin Bieber, the fact that his name even made this list clearly indicates, he's the hottest little guy out :)
