Although you may be sick of getting lectured by your parents, these older individuals reflected on their messy years as twenty year olds, to help guide people like us.
Here at Messy, we’re all about giving you the best advice possible, to navigate the minefield that is your twenties.
Although we’d like to think the advice we give is exceptional, we are only young ourselves at the end of the day, and do not possess years of experience to pass on to you all.
