With only 18 years and 357 days of life experience under my belt, I’m definitely not the wisest when it comes to making decisions. I do, however, feel like the past 18 years and 357 days of experience have taught me valuable lessons about friendships and school and love. The past year especially has shaped me into who I am right now. Starting college is never easy; You have to adjust to so much change and infinite ups and downs, but if you pay attention, you come out of it a better person. Here is some life advice that I feel everyone needs.
- Sleep is the key to your sanity.
- Don’t eat In-N-Out more than once a week.
- Pick the person who doesn’t make you work for him/her.
- Always keep your nails groomed.
- Listen to your parents, but there are some instances when you need to learn for yourself.
- There's no point in holding grudges.
- Intelligence is cool; Don’t dumb yourself down.
- Delete your Snapchat.
- Don’t take your life, or yourself, too seriously.
- Food can solve all of your problems.
- Read.
- Bralettes > bras.
- And no one actually cares if you have small boobs.
- Reach out to those in need.
- Respect everyone.
- Don’t kill bugs.
- Raw tomatoes are disgusting.
- Be friends with everyone. You never know whose family will get a reality show and become insanely famous.
- Don’t forget to floss.
- Have an open mind. Don’t be too quick to say no.
- Stop drinking soda.
- People will never stop gossiping.
- Don’t wear shorts to spin class.
