Within each chapter of your life, you'll make your mark in more ways than one.

Your 20s are an irreplaceable time, filled with prime memories with the squad.

You'll hopefully travel your way through your bucket list, get lit at the bar with your gal pals (more times than you can recollect), and channel positive energy into what you truly want to accomplish.

Now is the time to embrace your dream career and thrive in all aspects of your life. You're young, free, and the world presents you with endless possibilities right at your fingertips.

You shouldn't waste even one second just thinking of the things you want to do. Instead, get out there and make sh*t happen IRL.

That being said, you have absolutely no idea when you'll casually bump into the person you'll spend the rest of your life with. And once you do meet your forever person, you'll begin a new chapter of life, which will be just as exciting as your current one.

But before you tie the knot, here are 20 things you need to learn about yourself.
