So I saw that Glamour magazine in the US has published a list of “30 things every woman should have and should know by the time she’s 30.”
Instantly I was interested, I had a burning desire to know if I had satisfied the lists requirements. Deep down I knew I was probably headed for crushing failure and a loss of purpose in my life but I HAD TO SEE!
I thought I’d go through the list one by one with you all. My answers will be underneath, I encourage you to do the same. It’s quite a cathartic/depressing/empowering experience.
By 30, you should have…
1. One old boyfriend you can imagine going back to and one who reminds you of how far you’ve come.
I had an amazing boyfriend in grade 3 named Jay, he and I would talk about Punky Brewster and how much we loved NKOTB. He was the only one who could braid my hair so I had no stickyuppy bits and he loved musicals all most as much as I did- how I loved Jay… (SHUT UP, HE WAS NOT GAY, NOT THEN.)
My first love. Broke my heart. Cheated on me with my friend. Still hurts to type. He still lives with his parents at 33 years of age and is single. Nuff said.
2. A decent piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in your family.
