19 Reminders Every 19-Year-Old Should Hear And Take To Heart
Alyssa Corneille

I came across the quote today, “You can do anything but not everything.” Then it got me thinking... I'm 19 years-old and sometimes I feel like I should have my life planned out such as what career I want to have or where I want to live, but then I realize I don't even know what I'm making for dinner and that I'm also only 19 years-old...

Here are 19 reminders to look back at when you feel too caught up with being 19, you feel like you are not doing enough, or even maybe too much.

1. A lot of people are temporary in life. They were supposed to come into your life when they did, but there’s a time when they are no longer needed and that’s okay.

2. Your major doesn't define the rest of your life

3. Keep up with your health and fitness. You're not gonna regret going to the gym, but you will regret eating at Duck Donuts.

4. You wouldn't know what happiness is without pain.

5. Put the electronics down and get outdoors. You're not gonna look back and wish you binged watched more of "Greys Anatomy." There are sunsets to chase rather than the love story of McDreamy and Meredith.

6. You don't have to grow up so fast, slow down and take a step back. It's a journey so enjoy the views along the way.

7. Everything happens for a reason and sometimes it may not always be in your favor

8. Finding the "one" shouldn't be your main goal/motive, focus on that exam you have in two days.

9. Don't be so hard on yourself, you're halfway there and everyone has their own pace.

10. Don't forget to count your blessings and be thankful when you have it all.

11. Overthinking doesn't show progress, so just go for it.

12. Go for a run, pet a dog, take a break and do what you enjoy.

13. Find a hobby you enjoy and don't let it go.

14. Take tasks head on because sometimes later becomes never. Work hard so that you can play hard.

15. You're not going to please everyone that crosses paths with you.

16. Some of the best things are unexpected, let life take its course and don't worry about what is to come.

17. Be present in every moment that you are in or else it will slip through your fingers. Not everything has to be lived vicariously through snap chat.

18. Be thoughtful and nice to others even if they don't ask for it or even when no one is looking.

19. You're never too cool to be goofy no matter what your age is, unapologetically be yourself. There's no one better than that.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
