30 Things A Woman Should Have & Should Know By The Time She's 30 (Part 2)

Here's the next part of the list.

By 30, you should know:

1. How to fall in love without losing yourself.
I'm still learning this one along with the one that says how to not give a damn about what people will say.
2. How you feel about having kids.
I know that I want kids. It's the timing I'm still thinking about.
3. How to quit a job, break up with a man and confront a friend without ruining the friendship.
Hmm. The first and last I'm quite adept with. About the middle one, the only time I did it, I didn't do so well and I sure as hell have no plans of doing it again :0P
4. When to try harder and when to walk away.
I'm well on my way on this one. Knowing what battles are worth fighting gets you a lot closer to winning the war.
5. How to kiss in a way that communicates perfectly what you would and wouldn't like to happen next.
Oh, yeah baby! Though kissing just one man kinda makes this a lot easier to master.
6. The names of the secretary of state, your great-grandmother and the best tailor in town.
I know the first one but I'm lost on the next two. But I do know the names of the stores where you can get fabulous shoes for fabulous prices :0)
7. How to live alone, even if you don't like to.
Hmm. This hasn't been empirically proven yet but theoretically, I think I've got the know-how to do this.
8. How to take control of your own birthday.
Huh? Does this mean feeling comfortable with my years? If it does, then my answer is a resounding YES.
9. That you can't change the length of your calves, the width of your hips or the nature of your parents.
I learned the first 2 early in life and moved on to greater things -- like obsessing about changing my grades:0P The third one, I'm slowly learning. Slowly is the keyword here :0P
10. That your childhood may not have been perfect, but it's over.
I know, I know. But there's no harm in having a second one di ba? hehe ;0)
11. What you would and wouldn't do for money or love.
Yes, I know the stuff that falls under these. But I wish I could say that all of them are set in stone. One thing I do know, everything changes.
12. That nobody gets away with smoking, drinking, doing drugs or not flossing for very long.
Hah. Check, check, check and uhh... check!
13. Who you can trust, who you can't and why you shouldn't take it personally.
Everyday's a learning experience for me on this one.
14. Not to apologize for something that isn't your fault.
This I gotta learn... and soon!
15. Why they say life begins at 30.
Oh yeah, I know this for sure. Like I know for sure that life begins at 40 when I turn 40 hehe ;0)
