6 Things to Do Before You Clock 30


Turning 30 is a big deal for me and to most people. To the ladies you need to have these experiences before you hit 30.

You should travel even if it’s around Nigeria
There are many of you young women out there that are afraid to travel or you are waiting for the opportunity to come. Trust me the opportunity may never come unless you create one. There is nothing refreshing and revealing than when you travel on your own or with a group of friends or family to see places. It doesn’t cost so much to do it. Better still plan and save for it, but do it before you hit 30

You should have a dream job
If you do not have your dream job before you clock 30 you should at least be doing something which eventually leads you to getting your dream job.

You should have some investment of some sort.
When I was twenty six I made my first huge investment. But I lost it last year. I still can’t believe it. It’s going to take me some time to get it back but I got myself a backup. I am not where I want to be before my big 30 next year, but at least I am at a fairly comfortable place with my investments and planning every day to do more.

Be comfortable in your own skin!
I never understood that till I turned 28. I accepted who I am-a plus size girl with a big head. And my life has been worth living since. I am pretty, I have always known that fact but somehow my weight bothered me a lot. But I have come to realize that it is who I am and so far as I am healthy I am great. So I feel comfortable and I love what I see in the mirror every day. It took me time to get here but you have to get comfortable in your own skin by the time you are 30.

Be able to hang out by yourself and not feel weird about it.
You need to find way to make yourself happy. Your happiness is solely dependent on you. You should be able to go to the movies on your own and enjoy it. Sit at the café and get a cup of coffee and take in everything moment. Do this without being on your phone.

Be Brave
Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out honestly i wanna see you be brave”. Enough is enough. You are turning 30 and you cannot speak what is on your mind? Girl what is wrong with you? People are hurting your feelings all the time and you are afraid to tell them to stop? You need help. See this as a bolster. From now onwards enough of the sexist comments from your boss. Enough of the fat and thin shaming. Stop holding your tongue and “show me how big your brave is”
