For today’s twenty something advice series I figured I’d point you in the direction of the experts. I am doing this for 2 reasons: #1 though it’s always great to give fellow twenty somethings advice sometimes it’s nice to hear from someone who has already experienced this stage in life and #2 my to do list is entirely too full right now and blogging falls last of the list of priorities.
So without further adu I give you: Things I wish I’d known when I was younger
There are a lot of great pieces of advice here. My personal favorite is Waiting to do something until you can be sure of doing it exactly right means waiting for ever. Which point resonates with you the most?
I have always been intrigued to read "I wish I had known" type articles. I figure why not learn from other’s life lessons.

Maria added these pithy words on Jan 17 08 at 11:19 pmI really don’t feel like I can answer this question…. I don’t think I’ve lived long enough, frankly- at 19, I only have perspective for about the past 10 years, and at age 10, I didn’t do anything wrong.. I don’t have many regrets yet.
Perhaps don’t procrastinate, which goes along the lines of yours…

Christine’s a quarterlife coach that has a advice column that runs on Tuesdays.
I haven’t picked up a copy of her second book (Twenty Something Manifesto) yet, but Twenty Something, Twenty Everything had a lot of great exercises to evaluate where you’re at and what direction you want to be moving in with your life.
