30 Things You Need to Try at Least Once While You’re in Your 20s
As a young woman in her mid-20s, I can honestly say that there are a lot of things that I want to try at least once during this decade. I do think that I have done a lot, and that I am mature for my age, but I don’t want the feeling of regret to take over my life later on. There are many things to do before you hit your 30s!
作為一名25歲的女青年，我得真誠地表示在這十年里有太多我想要至少嘗試一次的事情。雖然我覺得自己閱歷頗豐，心智足夠成熟，但我仍然不希望將來有后知后覺的遺憾。在不惑之年來臨前，有太多的事情等待著你去做。
Sometimes I take life too seriously, and I want to let loose as well. I don’t want to look back several years from now and wonder why I was so “serious” when I was younger. These years are supposed to be the time of our lives, right?
有時我看待生活過于嚴肅，當然我也希望能夠放輕松。我不想多年后回首過往時心存疑惑地問自己：為什么年輕時過得那么“墨守成規(guī)”。當下本是屬于我們的年代，對吧？
