In two decades I have learned a lot. I have made a lot of mistakes and I have learned from them. I have learned a lot in 20 years, so there are a few of the things I have learned in my 20 years.

1. Kindness is great

Everyone appreciates it but some people take advantage of it. Be kind but do not let people take advantage of you.

2. It is okay to say no

You can still be a good person even if you say no to something. In the end, no one is going to look out for you but yourself.

3. Do what you want to do

Keep your best interest in mind and do what you want to do. Even if it means going off your own path a little.

4. It is okay to be selfish sometimes

In order to live your best life, you have to put yourself first every now and then. You can't succeed if you are always two steps behind everyone else.

5. Know the way you deserve to be treated

Once you know how you deserve to be treated, do not take anything else. "He is very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are."

6. Learn to adapt

Life changes all the time. You have to learn how to adapt and try to make the best out of a bad situation. Go with the flow.

7. Be honest

Lying to yourself and other does not help anyone in the end.

8. Always ask questions

If you do not know something, just ask. It is better to ask now instead of risking looking dumb in front of others.

9. Love yourself

When you learn to love yourself, alone time is awesome.

10. Find hobbies you like

When you have hobbies that you like you have a way to take the frustration out and just to focus on yourself.

11. Always try your best

If you truly try your best you can't really fail. Hard work always pays off!

12. Not all spiders will hurt you

Spiders can be scary but not all of them are poisonous. They usually eat other scary bugs like ants.

13. Think before you speak

Things you say can hurt those around you. So be careful of what you say.

14. Everyone goes through life at their own pace

Just because others are checking off different milestones at different times does not mean you are doing something wrong.

15. Find out what makes you happy

If it's going to college and majoring in something you like or traveling around the world, just do it.

16. Family is awesome

Cherish the time you have with your family because they will not be here forever and you do not want to have any regrets.

17. Be organized

Being organized makes your life a lot easier.

18. You do not always have to have the last word

Somethings are better left unsaid.

19. It is only awkward if you make it awkward

Definitely, don't say "Well this is awkward". You are only drawing attention to the awkward moment and making it worse.

20. Live

Have fun!
