Myths about being 23 don't really do anything besides keeping you from living your life on your own terms. They're unjust and non-factual claims that can't even be traced back to a direct person for validity. Yeah, some myths might have been entertaining when you were a kid, but as an adult, they can put a halt on your plans for example;


THE MYTH THAT YOU DON’T KNOW 

                   WHO YOU ARE.

This can go either way, but to be fair, it has to be mentioned. People assume because you're young, you don't have a grasp on who you are. Really !! Some of us don't, but many of us know exactly who we are. People discover themselves at different paces, and there's nothing in the rule book that says it can't happen well before you're 23.

Neither is there any rule that says we all have to virtually follow the same train . If that was the case Tila Tequila won't say " i think everyone has his own identity and beauty. Everyone been different is what is actually beautiful. if we were all the same it will be boring". I'm fully with her. and oh! even the word of God stated categorically about  creating us differently, though we all come from him. In short, the only person you should desire to look like and be like is God. It's not a myth, it's the truth, the ultimate truth.

HAVING A FUTURE PLAN

if you didn't have a plan when you turned 20, then the pressure is on from other people when you turn 23. The decade that is your 20s can hardly be planned for some of us. For the most part, you are still figuring things out. Coming up with and sticking to a 10-year plan is intimidating, and who knows, you could end up going in a completely new direction. Yes, you are an adult, but not even veteran adults have all of their stuff together. Don't feed into the idea that you should have your dream job, own place, and a car under your belt by now. Getting things in order takes time, and you are going to wear yourself out trying to keep up with an unrealistic checklist. You might want to stick with the simple and achievable ones and for the unrealistic ones, time will definitely recycle them for you.

Living your best life when you're 23 means you need to start listening to what you believe is real. Doing what is expected of you as an adult ,exhausting your fun list and organizing your life in a more decent way. That's all that matters, after all. Leaving in a buildup fantasy does not work much, it exhausts you, mess you up and finally throw you under the bridge. 

In the first few weeks of university, most of the people you run into will be very persistent about "getting involved." They'll tell you to join certain clubs, or reach out to the leaders of the various campus clubs. It's honestly a great way to build some connections on campus and make new friends. But, there is a such thing as getting too involved in needless activities, which I learned the hard way. 

One of the best decisions I made in university was to back off from activities that weren't a good fit and focus on what I loved. Truth is, you'll spread yourself too thin, and need to put your priorities into place. You can't do it all, and should enjoy every moment while you're in university. Don't just rush to your next commitment. Soak up these four years that will have an impact on the rest of your life.
