Being in this world for nineteen years, I have learned a few things. Not very many things, but a few things. Here's a collection of Nineteen things I've learned so far: one for every year of life:

1) Your worth is not determined by your job, wealth, or possessions.

2) You don't have everything figured out, but that's okay.

3) You will lose friends but gain a lot too.

4) Debt is a real thing and saving money is hard.

5) The "real world" every adult talks about can really suck sometimes.

6) You begin to feel older. Your joints pop more, you get tired quicker, you ache 80% of the time, and sleep is much more tempting.

7) It's important to try new things and broaden your horizons.

8) Peer pressure doesn't go away as you get older-it almost becomes worse.

9) Taco-Bell delivers... You're welcome.

10) Do what you love. Follow YOUR passion-not what others advice you to do.

11) Traveling is good for the mind and body.

12) Don't take your family for granted. They may not always be here.

13) Pace yourself: Don't take on too many opportunities at once.

14) Advil Liquid Gels work faster than the regular pill form.

15) If you are a student, there are TONS of places that give student discounts, and you should take advantage of these.

16) Running is not only a healthy pastime but keeps you energized throughout the day.

17) Try and get a job or internship related to your field of study. Experience on a resume always stands out.

18) Music is a great form of therapy. So are long car rides.

19) Have a plan/ purpose for your life, and do your best to follow this plan.
