As my year of being 20 is almost over I've done a lot of self-reflecting lately. Living two decades hasn't taught me everything I need to know, but it's taught me a lot.

1. Chicken nuggets are always worth the sacrifice

Self explanatory.

2. Don't pierce your nipples before a music festival

They will get infected, and you will die. Well maybe not die but you will end up in the hospital on spring break with morphine being injected into you.

3. If you do bad in one class it won't tank your GPA

Take a breath and move on. Use it as motivation to kill your next class.

4. Never turn down a wing eating contest

You really can't go wrong with free food that you get to grossly inhale at a disturbing pace. It fills you up and it's time effective.

5. Nothing is real on social media, don't compare yourself

Becky's hot but she's not THAT hot.

6. If you eat everything unhealthy in your house in one sitting, you'll only feel bad about it once

It's all about the strategy.

7. When your friends tell you not to do something they're probably right

But seriously.

8. If you're like me and do it anyways, be willing to take the heat from them when they were right

The only justified "I told you so".

9. Call your mom

She deserves it.

10. If you break multiple limbs at once you will find out who your true friends are

Shout out to you guys, you know what you did.

11. Find the humor in everything

Never take yourself too seriously. Laugh at yourself and don't be so hard on yourself when you make mistakes. It'll get you through the difficult parts.

12. Talk to everyone

It may seem weird to your friends that the homeless man that has a Chihuahua with a tutu knows you by name, but everyone has something to teach. Talk to people you usually wouldn't socialize with and you might be surprised what you learn.

13. Your high school boyfriend sucks, stop hitting him up

This is an understatement.

14. Cucumbers make a great drunk food

Cucumbers are almost always under a dollar at your local grocery store. So if you're balling on a budget like me and still get drunk munchies they're a preferred option. Also, if you want to trick yourself they're also a rather sneaky snack. Need to find an excuse not to go home with someone? I promise Brad in sigma apple pie doesn't have them in his fridge. Not to mention they're 96% water so when you're too proud to get a glass just go ahead and eat the whole thing.

15. Everything is temporary

If you are unhappy with something remember that it's not forever. More importantly, neither are the good things. Hang in there during the bad and appreciate the good.

16. There will always be people as weird as you if not weirder

Believe me, I interned with a world traveling 100 pound male yoyo-er...I've seen it all. This isn't to say that you won't find people like you. Someone out there is as strange as you and you'll find them. Own your weird.

17. Men's deodorant is always better than women's

Ladies don't lie you use it too.

18. Never underestimate the power of a burger

Sometimes it's okay to skip the gym and indulge in a concerningly large burger. I can't promise you'll feel good a couple hours after, but you will while you eat it. Extra points if you finish it in 5 bites or less.

19. If you lock yourself out of your room don't let your friend bust it down

You'll end up paying for a new wall instead of a let in fee of under $50.00

20. Stop worrying

I know it seems scary during the in between years of being an adult but not. You'll graduate, get a job and you'll be okay. For now, just enjoy what's in front of you and let the rest play out in front of you.
