19 Things I Have Learned In 19 Years

19 things I have learned in 19 year years

May 31, 2016

With my birthday being this weekend and turning 20 I truly felt extremely reflective on my life. I feel like I have grown as a person so much but especially in this past year I have learned more about myself, the people who matter and life in general than I think I realized. Here is 19 things Ive learned in 19 years

1.Family is forever

2.Loving yourself is always the most important because YOU are the only person that will forever stay.

3. Find three things positive in a day and write them down so when you feel the world crashing you have a bunch of things to remind you life is good.

4.Be the change you want to see in the world. Smile at strangers and hold the door open for the woman who looks mean. Sometimes all they need is to be reminded there are good people in the world.

5.Treat all jobs with respect because even though to you they may only look like a McDonalds worker, but who would do it if they didn't? Job shaming is just so stupid to me.

6. Wait the 24 before flipping out over something you think happened... words are something you cant take back, so make sure to use them wisely

7. Real friends are the ones who love you even when you may not love yourself

8. No guy should complete you. You complete you, but having someone support you and vice versa is a great relationship, but your partner shouldn't define you.

9. Life is to short to hold grudges, say what you have to say and move on.

10. If you care what everyone else thinks, you will never truly be happy.

11. Be passionate about everything you do and don't care what others may say.

12. If you have a dream, the only person that can make it happen is you.

13.Always be kind, it will come back to you one day; believe it or not.

14. The only thing to actually spend good money on is skin care, because your face will never go out of style.

15. Never spend time with people who don't encourage your dreams or bring out the best in you.

16. Don't lie, even about the small stuff because that is the stuff people will remember.

17. Never forget to say thank you, even for the small stuff.

18. Laugh even when it is hard because being angry doesn't help anyone or the situation

19. Never be afraid to be yourself, its easier in the long run, I promise.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
