16 Things I’ve Learned
1.)Unlike school, things will not fall into place for you just because you are smart, creative, and talented. You actually have to work and struggle in real life.
2.)You may have to rewrite everything you know several times, just because everything you thought you knew turns out to be wrong.
3.)Life is both finding and creating yourself.
4.)Listen to your mom. She knows what she's talking about.
5.)Failure keeps us humble, and on our toes.
6.)Tell the truth. Plain and simple.
7.)Travel as much as you can while you are young. There's a world out there to love.
8.)Hold on to beautiful friendships (I've let golden friends slip out of my life, and regret it. My older sister has held on to friendships she formed as a child, and it's amazing how many stages of life they've helped each other through).
9.) Life will take you by surprise, and drag you down a totally different road whether you are ready or not.
10.)Be thankful for what you have. Your life could always be a great deal worse.
11.)The universe is full of signs. Keep your eyes OPEN.
12.)Stick to a routine. Structure contributes to efficiency.
13.)Don't let go of your childhood dreams, even when swamped by the demands of adulthood. Child you just may be the real you.
14.)Alcohol is stupid. If you want antioxidants just eat some grapes (you don't need to pop a bottle of wine).
15.)Believe in yourself, even when no one else does.
16.)Stay a child at heart. No matter how long ago you lost your innocence.
