People seriously need to stop freaking out about the big 3-0. Sure it seems like a big deal, but you're still essentially the same person you were the night before your birthday.



A good way of looking at this period in your life is by thinking of it as snow globe. Your 20s is a time when you're still shaking things up while struggling to see past a frenetic flurry of events.

But once your 30s kick in, those things that were still up in the air are now starting to fall into place, giving you a clearer idea of who you are, where you're going and what you want.

This is also the perfect time to finally say goodbye to all that anxiety, hangovers and repeated mistakes that you endured in the previous decade so that you can work on becoming the best version of yourself!

So instead of panicking, just sit back and relax because the real ride has just begun. Here are some other good reasons on why your 30s is about to be the most awesome time of your life:

1. You really don’t have to put up with other people’s bullshit anymore.

2. Whenever something bad happens, you know how to cope because dwelling on it doesn't change anything.

3. Hopefully you’re making more money now than when you were first starting out.

4. You've finally figured out your own personal style.

5. You probably get along better with your parents, and have finally stopped asking them to pay for everything.

6. You're more secure in your own skin, which makes you feel more self-confident about dating.

7. You can distinguish between who your true friends are and who to let go because they aren’t good for you.

8. You no longer feel pressured to be "cool", and get to laugh at all those try-hards who still do.

9. You have acquired enough experience to make you a little more wiser, yet you're also still young enough to blend in with your younger counterparts.

10. You’re no longer afraid of change, because you know that "change" is really just another way of saying "upgrade".
