- A spouse-or even someone you want to go on a second date with.
- A child. Or a pet. Or even an herb garden.
- A decision on how you feel about having children. Yes, I know-Mother Nature has a say in this one, but if we're going to put a timeline on it, can it at least be 34 ½?
- Your dream job. Or even an idea of what that might be. Should you figure it out? Yeah. But, because you deserve it-not because you have to have it by 30.
- A house (or enough money in your bank account to even think about having a down payment).
- A room in your place that doesn't serve an essential purpose-like someone eating or sleeping there.
- A "bedroom set" (or any piece of furniture that you plan to keep forever).
- Your own laundry machines.
- A "signature style." Heck, it will probably change in your 30s anyway, right?
- Knowledge of how to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. There's still time for that-and in the meantime, there's Whole Foods.
- Ample storage.
- A car that was manufactured in the current decade. Or a car, period. Or, if you live in New York, a driver's license.
- A working knowledge of how to set up cable equipment.
- A pair of truly comfortable high heels (seriously, these might not exist).
- Enough stamps in your passport. Because, unless you are Hillary Clinton, will you ever have that?
- An answer to, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" Be honest: At 25, did you see yourself here?
- The ability to handle a crisis (or moving) without a crying phone call to your mother.
- A readily available matching pair of socks.
- Guilt for eating the (very large) remainder of cookie dough in the bowl.
- Any idea on how to make (or even really enjoy) a gin martini.
- The ability to do your own taxes. A good thing to know? Sure. But otherwise, that's what the lovely people at H&R Block are there for. The ability to turn down 2-for-1 margaritas at Happy Hour.
- Eye cream. Because that's just throwing in the towel.
- Giving up on the belief that maybe-just maybe-you could win the lottery someday.
- A city you call home.
- More than 500 Facebook friends.
- The desire to wake up the morning after your 30th birthday not feeling hungover.
- The words "I'm too old for that" in your vocabulary.
