20 Best Blogs For 20 Somethings You Should Be Reading

Reading blogs is one of the habits I picked up during my one year post secondary (high) school stay at home. Staying at home all alone was definitely boring. I remember I had a Nokia E63 mobile device back then and so to save myself from dying of boredom, I began reading blogs. It started with reading gossip/entertainment blogs to reading book blogs and now at 22, I haven’t stopped reading blogs even for one day. And oh, I own a blog too now.

But over the years my taste in blogs have changed drastically. I no longer visit gossip blogs like Linda Ikeji, Rather I have channeled my time, strength and love for reading blogs into gaining profitable knowledge especially as a twenty something year old girl. I have come to the realization that my 20’s are my definitive years, so each day I am making a conscious effort to learn more, do more, be better, kick ass and look good while at it. And here are some of the best blogs for 20 somethings that are helping me to do all that without hassles.
