Every day we are able to learn some sort of lesson, so think of all the lessons learned throughout your life. Twenty is still so young, but many lessons have already been learned.
1. Nothing goes as expected.
Sometimes you just have to learn to accept it and move on.
2. Never turn down free food.
Sometimes it's hard not to feel bad, but hey they offered sooooo...
3. Sometimes the dumbest decisions really do make the best stories.
At least you'll have something to laugh about.
4. No matter what age, naps are great.
At twenty, you'll need them just as much as you needed them at age three.
5. You can never go wrong with breakfast for dinner.
Come on... who doesn't love pancakes for dinner?
6. Be careful who you open up to.
Not everyone genuinely cares. Some people just want to know your juicy secrets.
7. If you're not sure whether to bring a jacket or not, then bring it.
It's much better to have one and have to carry it around, rather than freeze and wish you would've brought one.
8. Travel as much as you can while you're young.
Take advantage of the studying abroad programs at school! Nothing is better than seeing the world at a young age.
9. Don't take everything too seriously.
Life is better when you're able to laugh often, but know when enough is enough.
10. Don't let others opinions of you affect you.
Be your own person! Who cares what everyone else may think.
11. Double check your work before you turn it in.
You'll be so mad at yourself if you could've gotten an A instead of a B on that test. If only you would've double checked your worked before turning it in.
12. Forgive but never forget.
It's not worth staying mad at people for mistakes they've made, but always remember it happened.
13. Take as many pictures as you can.
Five, ten, or even fifteen years down the road you'll love looking at all the old pictures you took. Regardless if it's of your friends, your dog, or even yourself.
14. Put yourself first.
You deserve it.
15. Sometimes you just need to stay in bed all day.
or maybe even two or three days...
We've all been there.
16. Life really is better at the beach.
There's not a thing to worry about at the beach.
17. Some people are meant to stay in your past.
As cliche as it sounds, they're in your past for a reason, so keep them there.
18. You can never have too many t-shirts.
Take every free t-shirt you can get. You won't regret your abundance of t-shirts.
19. Invest in a Netflix plan.
Thank me later.
20. Time goes by quicker than you think, so make the most of it.
You only get one shot at this beautiful life, so make it count.
