1. It’s okay not to have it all figured out. It’s okay to not know where you want to go to college or what you want to do in life. Give it time.

2. You don’t need a huge group of friends to be happy. Having 2 genuine friends is better than 10 phony ones.

3. You don’t need to be in a relationship to feel loved.

4. Make the most out of every bad situation

5. Bad times don’t last.

6. It’s okay to be your own person and do your own thing. You’ll never lose the right friends over being your own person.

7. Make time for your family. The older and busier you get to be, the less time you tend to spend with them.

8. Enjoy the little things.

9. Take advantage of every opportunity you get.

10. Be happy for no reason.

11. Don’t hold grudges. Don’t let bitterness hold you back. Forgive and let go.

12. Understand that better days are ahead. Life sucks a lot of times, but think back to some of the best days you’ve ever had and know that there are plenty more of those ahead.

13. It’s not the end of the world. You’re going to screw up a lot. Even more so in the future. As said in 17 Again, “When you're young everything feels like the end of the world. But it's not; it's just the beginning.”

14. Surround yourself with people who support you. Don’t bother with anyone who doesn’t lift you higher or make you a better person.

15. Take pride in everything your name is on. Whether it’s your work, your reputation or your social media accounts, make sure you’re proud of whatever it is you put your name on.

Get rid of all negativity in your life. There’s no time to be upset or stressed out over people or situations. You’re in control of your life. Make changes accordingly
