It is so sad and unfortunate that not everyone wants to grow up. Many view growing up as intimidating, as a loss of something. You have to be aware that life is made up of stages. We cannot have the same mindset we had when we were entering high school now that we are stepping into the wonderful age of 30. By the time you turn 30, you should have been able to figure out certain things and reached a level of maturity. You should have been able to discard certain habits and reactions to things that happen to you.
As you reach the age of 30, you should start becoming more aware of who you are and what stage you are in life. Here are 30 things every person turning 30 should stop doing.
  1. Calling your relatives to bail you out of a financial crisis you should be taking care of instead.
  2. Living a life of regrets. Looking back at the past and wondering what would have happened, or thinking about that job you never got, or that person you never got married.
  3. Blaming others for how your life is turning out – pointing fingers at your parents, family and your environment for how your life has come to be.
  4. Believing and expecting that your life should have turned perfect by now, rather than knowing that success is a process made out of failures.
  5. Consuming yourself in worry about what others are thinking of you.
  6. Spending most of your money on partying, alcohol and eating out.
  7. Waiting for others to fix things you can do yourself.
  8. Showing off how drunk you were at a particular party on social media.
  9. Seeking other people’s approval.
  10. Having to keep certain friends who are a bad influence on you out of convenience because you are too scared or nervous to cut them out of your life.
  11. Giving up on a venture or a task because it has suddenly appeared difficult to undertake.
  12. Holding on to grudges and consuming yourself in resentment over a past misdeed of a good friend.
  13. Ignoring your relationships, whether with your family or with friends who have been there for you in the past.
  14. Spending more than you earn and running into debt every now and then.
  15. Stalking your ex on social media instead of moving on with your life.
  16. Advertising your new designer wrist watch or other luxurious items on social media in a bid to create unnecessary attention.
  17. Making excuses for not maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
  18. Waiting for things to happen rather than going out to make these things happen.
  19. Trying to be perfect all the time and taking yourself too seriously.
  20. Thinking that you can live up to others’ expectation of you.
  21. Envying the lifestyle of other people you happen to catch on social media.
  22. Buying inferior items because you are trying so hard to save a buck.
  23. Becoming irrational and running wild with thoughts and beliefs without being fully informed.
  24. Dressing up like a teenager and going along with fads, rather than dressing as an authentic image of who you are.
  25. Denying the fact that you will soon be hitting 30, and wanting to be stuck with your 20s for life.
  26. Trying to pull off some alcohol stunts every now and then.
  27. Posing with a peace hand sign or any kind of sign in a photo.
  28. Having posters of Terminator, Fresh Prince of Bel Air or The Godfather to decorate your apartment.
