10 Emotions You Should Experience Before You're 30

  1. Lust when you have sex with someone for the first time.
  2. Excitement after getting your first professional job.
  3. Relief at handing in your resignation when you’ve realised that being from Generation Y and working for a Baby Boomer boss (or even a traditional Generation X boss) doesn’t always work out so well.
  4. Independence when you move out of home.
  5. Satisfaction knowing that you’re in charge now, and can eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if you want to.
  6. Despair when your first relationship ends.
  7. The thrill of winning money while gambling. Could be from poker, horses, at a casino, or something ghastly like a cock fight (hopefully not though).
  8. Comfort when you find friends you can tell everything.
  9. Confidence when you learn to love your own skin and make the most of what you’ve got.
  10. Awe thinking about your mum when you realise she was right about everything.
