I turned 21 years old on January 5th and honestly I still look like I'm 16. Getting older is scary and I have no idea what I am doing but I did learn how to do laundry the correct way; you've gotta start somewhere right? The past year though has been full of learning experiences some good and some bad.
Here are the 20 things I learned at 20
1) It is okay to say no
2) It is okay to not know where you want to end up after college (mostly everyone I know has no idea either)
3) Sometimes you just really need to talk to your mom
4) You are allowed to make mistakes
5) Grocery shopping gets expensive
6) Being picky is alright
7) There are really good people out there
8) No one really cares if you do not go to the party
9) Parents are right a good 99% of the time
10) Bad days do not mean you have a bad life
11) Make sure you try to get enough sleep
12) Studying a few days before a test instead of cramming the night before really does make a huge difference
13) How to do laundry
14) Sometimes you really do need those four cups of coffee
15) Just because everyone has a picture of themselves holding a red solo cup does not mean you need one too
16) You can only rely so much on a plan
17) Never underestimate the power of a hot shower, clean sheets, and a long nap
18) Chipotle is not a food group
19) You can never have to many candles
20) Change is good
Even though 20 years led to some life-changing revelations, I can't wait to see what 21 years brings.
