The best part in our heads was the freedom but now that you're here all grown-up,

We want you to know that you're not alone. Here are five ways to navigate adulthood.
我们想让大家知道你们并不孤单。这下是五种方法帮助你度过成年期。
1. Never be too busy for family and friends.
1. 永远不要因为忙而疏远家人和朋友。
Sometimes you might feel too tired to go out after a long day at work
有时，上了一天班的你会感觉疲惫，
but the years will go by in a blink of an eye and you'll wish you had them back to make more memories.
但岁月在眨眼间流逝，你将会希望时光倒流，留下更多的回忆。
We're not asking you to party all night long until the sun comes up or hit the bar every weekend,
我们并不是要你每个周末都通宵派对或者泡吧，
we understand that you still have bills to pay but the older we get, the more friendships tend to fade over time
我们知道你还需要付账单，但是随着年龄的增长，友谊会逐渐淡去
and it all starts when we get too busy to see the people we love.
并且一切都开始于我们太忙而疏于自己爱的人。
2. Know that your job, social class and relationship status doesn't define your self-worth.
2. 要知道，你的工作、社会地位和人际关系并不能决定你的自我价值。
It's easy to tie ourselves to passions, like the people we date or the jobs we work
我们很容易把自己和激情联系在一起，比如我们约会对象或者我们的工作
but sometimes life throws curveballs our way and we go through painful breakups or get laid off.
但有时生活也会给我们带来曲折，我们会经历痛苦的分手或被解雇。
Instead of letting these things define us, realize that they're only what you're participating in not necessarily who you are.
不要让那些事情定义你，要知道这些都只是你参与的事情，并不能定义你是谁。
Whatever you've been through, your experiences good or bad
不论你经历了什么，你的经历是好还是坏，
they are simply stepping stones that shaped you into the awesome person you are today.
它们只是一块块垫脚石，把你塑造成今天这么了不起的人。
3. Make time for exercise.
3. 花时间运动。
You might feel relieved knowing you no longer have to go to gym class after graduating high school
当你得知高中毕业后就不需要上体育课后，你可能会觉得解脱，
but exercise plays such an important role in your health.
但运动对你的健康起着重要的作用。
If you work a 9 to 5 jobs sitting in front of a computer screen, it significantly reduces your chances of getting your heart rate up.
如果你的工作是早九晚五的坐在电脑前，那么这肯定会大大降低你心跳加速的机会。
Many people who start developing heart problems often regret that they didn't include exercise in their regimen.
很多初现心脏问题的人总是后悔他们没有经常运动。
If you're worried about affording the cost of a gym membership, know that there are other great ways to stay in shape,
如果你在担心昂贵的会费，那么你要知道还有很多其他塑形的好方法，
go for walks and runs, bike ride and dance in your room like no one's watching.
散步、跑步、骑自行车或在家里跳舞。
4. Ask questions and self-reflect often.
4. 经常提问和自我反省。
It's okay to cry when you no longer recognize who you used to be.
当你不再认识以前的自己时，哭也是可以的。
Maybe you've turned into someone you never thought you would
也许你已经变成了一个你从未想过会成为的人，
or you've done some things along the way that you're not proud of.
或者你已经做了一些你不引以为豪的事情。
This is all part of the journey. What's important is to stop every once in a while and ask questions.
这就是旅程的部分。重要的是每隔一段时间停下来问问自己。
It's only when people no longer wonder about their lives that they remain the same.
只有当人们不再怀疑他们的生活时，他们才会保持不变。
Make time each night to self-reflect and leave room for yourself to make mistakes, grow and accept your flaws.
每晚抽时间进行自我反省，为自己留下犯错、成长和接受缺点的空间。
5. Don't feel discouraged if things aren't always what you imagine them to be.
5. 如果事情并不总是像你想象的那样，不要气馁。
Idealism makes the best dreamers. But if you're too caught up and how things should be rather than how they really are,
理想主义事最好的梦想家。但如果你太过专注于事情应该如何发展而不是它们的实际情况，
you begin to stop living in the present. This only feeds anxiety when we demand a lot from the future.
那么你就开始停止活在当下。这只会在我们对未来有很多要求的时候加剧焦虑。
No one can predict what will happen whether it be a few months or just a few seconds from now.
没人能预测几个月后或几秒钟后会发生什么。
Be patient, continue to work hard towards your goals and have faith that you are enough to take yourself to where you want to be.
要有耐心，继续努力朝着你的目标努力，并相信你有足够的信心把自己带到你想去的地方。
