Recently, I've noticed a new phenomenon in my communication style. I find myself in the middle of a long text message, usually when I'm explaining something in detail, and halfway through something says, "Ugh. I'm tired of texting — let me just call."

After this happens, I actually click on the person’s name and call them — it's wild! It was shocking to me when I did it the first time but after I got into the practice of it, I realized that I saved even more time by simply relaying my message via phone. I could then get off the phone, or I could continue to talk to my friend! This has opened up a lot of opportunities to maintain friendships, especially long-distance ones. You'd be surprised how refreshing catching up on the phone can be and how much time it creates to do other things — like going to bed.

There's no reason to speed through your twenties, goodness knows it'll be over soon enough. Enjoy the mistakes, the ability to stay up and your metabolism. In the meantime, know that there's plenty more to look forward to.
