So, it's definitely safe to say that becoming an adult is a learning process. Sometimes it can even feel like a never-ending uphill battle. But, just like anything in life, there are lessons learned along the way. Here are some lessons that I have learned that certainly ring true for my life. I hope at least one of these helps you!
Being By Yourself Is Not a Bad Thing.
Everyone needs a little personal space/"me" time. It's perfectly fine to spend time by yourself and learn some independence. Co-dependence isn't a healthy trait to have.
Be True To Who You Are, Who Cares What Anyone Else Thinks?
The title of this one should kind of speak for itself, but this world would be so incredibly boring if we were all the same. Own who you are!
Labels Are Only For Clothes.
I still struggle with this concept of labeling, and it's something that society has ingrained in all of us. We're all labeled as either "too thin", "too fat", "too short", "too quiet", etc-how great would it be if we all decided to define ourselves, instead of letting society define us?
Binge Drinking Isn't Cool.
The title for this one should probably speak for itself, but the social "collegiate" trend of getting blackout drunk isn't smart or healthy. (Trust me, your liver and kidneys will thank you later!)
Get Involved With Social Activities/Clubs/Etc.
Life is ten times better when you spend time with people who share your interests, so go out and don't be afraid to make new friends.
Find Your Spark of Creativity
So, this one is a little bit more personal, but a good part of being a college student, and honestly being an adult in today's world, is finding that little spark of creativity that holds your own uniqueness. As cliche as it sounds, the old adage is certainly true, "there's only one you."
I hope these little blurbs of life advice were helpful, or at least entertaining!
