22 is an age that bridges the gap between the reckless abandon of adolescence and the conforms of adulthood. I'm going to talk about a few wonderful changes I read somewhere.
1) Strongest friendships become unbreakable, especially with the friends you do not see all the time: Some people get jobs and some move away. Group convos become a way of keeping in touch and are very effective. They help when you bored at work and feel alone at a crowded party lol. When friends are near or far, it becomes clear who will stick around and who wouldn't .
2) Fair weather friends fall to the wayside: The people you used to dread hanging out with become people you never see. Which is so great! The arguments stop and the drama ends. No need for pity friendships. Ain't nobody got time for that!
3) You meet people who know you for what you do, not who you were as an adolescent: it is nice to relate to someone about your dreams, aspirations, passions rather than your worst drunk moments or when a paper is due.
4) You watch your friends become 'real adults' and stop having to play babysitter: weekends become less nerve wrecking when you know there isn't a chance you could end up in the waiting room of a hospital.
5) You become part of a work family
6) Horrible people come into your life and you can finally see why they are toxic
7) You can laugh at your teenage years and actually see how you have changed
8) You get nostalgic for the past without getting sad
9) Sleep becomes very essential
10) You become unaware of what is happening on social media this week
11) You hear the beauty, power and confidence and power in the word 'NO': You used to feel like you had to say yes to everything: dates, friends, purchases, outings. You felt bad when you turned anything down. After 22 you see that saying no just means you know what you want and understand how to avoid the things you don't want.
