Somethings about the 20's

<Same post, with different user name>

I have to admit the author and Arnett knew what is about 20s. I totally agree the 20s is a different life stage from the adolescence. I am over 30 right now. when I looked back what happened in the past ten years, I am so happy I finally became an adult by my own definition. I am a late bloomer. Before I read this article, I thought maybe I am the special case, whose brain developed slower than the standard from text book. Now I feel I am just a normal person who experienced the period called emerging adulthood .

I like the author call the 20s as " the stem cell of human development." Because there is so many possibility in that period, and the certain big  decisions can lead to various future lives. That is why I also believe the reasonable delay to be an adult has lots of advantages. We have to stop, explore and then decide which direction we like to go. Graduation from college does not mean we are ready for the requirements of the cruel society. Lots of time, we have to taste the apple, then we can tell if you like it or not, and if it is tasty for me or not. unfortunately, there are too many things we need to taste before we figure out what fit our individual life. During the adolescence, we basically listen to the parents because we have no ability to survive without them. The 20s is wonderful. We gain some confidence about ourself, also get some freedom to try different things. It is confusing and bitter sometimes. But only after knowing what is bitter, we will appreciate the sweetness. Those young kids overprotected will  take much longer time to get over the emerging period, maybe never. 

There is emerging adulthood in everyone 's life span. But what happens to that individual and how that person interpret those significant events will lead to a totally different belief about the adult's life. Also social and family pressure affect its development.
