I'm not the type of person who likes to admit I'm wrong, or even worse, that someone else was right, but recently I've been put in some situations that have made me realize that, if I were to admit I was wrong, I would be saying it to the two people who brought me into this world--my parents. I know they're both dying for the moment I confess they were right and can say, "I told you so!"

Here is the short list of things my parents were 100% right about:

1. "Nothing smart happens after midnight."

2. "Go with your gut."

3. "She's not really your friend."

4. "Don't wear a bra until you have to."

5. "Everyone goes through a heartbreak."

6. "A relationship is never the same the second time around."

7. "It's okay to spend time at home."

8. "You'll never get over him sleeping with your friends."

9. "High school doesn't define who you are, but it still matters."

10. "Save your money."

11. "It's okay to be single."

12. "Someday you're going to miss home."

13. "There's nothing a good glass of wine can't fix."

14. "Watch who you drink with."

15. "Bring your jacket!"

16. "You'll regret not being nicer to your brother."

17. "Never miss a chance to pee."

18. "School should always come before your social life."

19. "Being a kind person goes a long way."

20. "The girls who are popular in middle school won't be relevant in high school."

21. "Never use 'marry rich' as your go-to plan."

22. "Clean as you go."

23. "Everything in moderation."

24. "You'll regret rushing to grow up."

25. "Someday you'll understand I'm right."

So, if you haven't figured out parents are total badasses and actually do know what they're talking about, you will soon. Until then, good luck!
