走在奔三的路上：30岁女人该学会的7堂人生课

Skinny jeans, thigh-high boots, hippie headbands, crop tops—you can't win'em all. You’ve learned which ones work and that it's okay to abstain from the ones that don't.
紧身牛仔裤，长筒高跟鞋，嬉皮士头巾以及露脐上衣，你不可能都适合。你需要发现哪种风格适合你，然后明智地丢掉剩下的衣服。

Living with Five Roommates Is Terrible
和五个朋友合住很恐怖

It isn’t one totally awesome continuous bohemian girl-power slumber party. It’s just a pain in the ass. You’ve resolved that you’ll share your next apartment with only one other roommate.
波西米亚风的睡衣派对不会一直进行着。一群女孩合住一屋实在令人头疼。你必须下定决心，下一次换住处，只能跟一个室友分享公寓。

Your Degree is Meaningless
文凭一文不值

All those hours you fretted about your major and wondering if it was marketable enough, if your GPA was high enough, and if your extracurriculars were impressive enough…and now you know that most employers just want to see that you’ve completed something. Who cares if it’s a degree in drama or basket-weaving or P.E.? Nobody cares about the particulars of what you did in college, only that you went and finished.
大学里，你花了大部分的时间纠结自己的专业课将来是否能很吃香，或者自己的GPA是否够高，社团工作是否做得很赞……而你现在明白了，所有企业看重的是你真正有过什么成就。谁会在乎你是学戏剧还是篮球、家政还是体育呢？没人会关心你的大学细节，他们只关心你参加和完成了的工作。

Everyone Compromises
每个人都会向现实妥协

So you thought you’d ride the powerful wave of your idealism into a job where you’d change the world and find glory? Sometimes you have to take a job because you need health insurance. Sometimes you make the sensible, safe decision instead of the one that you’re passionate about. Sometimes you make allowances in your righteous ideology to account for the fact that quite often, life is just about getting through the day. Congratulations—you’re human.
是不是认为自己会乘着理想主义的浪潮投身于事业，改变世界找寻成就的光辉？但是现在，你会为了医疗保险而接受某份工作，你会做出很理智而保守的决定，不再随性而定。你会客观公正地让步，因为你明白了人生中最寻常的事实：生活就是度过每一天。恭喜你，你成为了真正的社会人！
