As of yesterday, I can finally say I have been on this earth for two decades. Not everyone can say that. Being 20 makes me feel quite wise (no matter how undeserving that title is... lol), so here are 20 things I have learned in 20 years:

1. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh.

2. You are never too old to watch Disney movies.

3. Caring about what people think of your appearance is overrated

4. Just because you have not always been close to your sister does not mean she will not become your best friend

5. A planner will be one of your best friends in life.

6. Do not stop going out of your comfort zone.

7. Life never goes as planned.

8. Never forget to call and thank people for any cards they send you.

9. Having cousins you spent most of your childhood with is the best.

10. Reading and music are the perfect escape.

11. Some people do not deserve to be a part of your life, and that is okay.

12. Find a quote that can be followed every single day and follow it.

13. Always tip (no matter what kind of service you get)

14. Never stop looking for an opportunity to learn

15. Grey's Anatomy will make you cry in the same exact places every single time you watch the series.

16. Never be late.

17. Embrace what makes you different and weird.

18. Some of your best relationships can start out online.

19. Do not be afraid to speak about your beliefs and challenge others. Just remember to be respectful.

20. Everything will work itself out in the end.
