My 20th birthday just passed which basically means I know everything now. I'm feeling generous so I'm going to go ahead and share my infinite wisdom with all of you. So here are the most important 20 things that I've learned it 20 years.
1. Ordering food, while stressful, isn't that scary and is totally worth it
2. Treating yourself is super important
3. If you don't challenge yourself, no one will. Set goals, step out of your comfort zone. Having people motivate you is important but at the end of the day you're the one who has to make the move
4. Toxic people are a waste of your time don't be afraid to step back
5. Learn as many new things as possible
6. Laughing at yourself is so important
7. If you don't wear makeup all week and then you do on the weekends, you automatically look better by comparison.
8. You're never going to please everyone so stop trying
9. While certain struggles may feel like the end of the world, it's up to you whether you want to let it hurt you or to use it towards building character
10. Find some music that you absolutely love because sometimes good music can cure anything
11. Stop aiming for perfection. Being happy and content no matter how simple a form it comes in is the ultimate goal and the sooner you realize that the happier you'll be
12. Eating healthy is cool, but fried food and pizza are important to your mental well-being
13. It's so important that you have someone you can always talk to about anything no matter what
14. Sleep is wonderful but not necessary, also nights that I stayed up with friends are usually the most memorable
15. You should have friends that you can be utterly yourself with
16. Boys are stupid
17. Conditioner works excellently for shaving legs and underarms
18. Concerts are so incredible go to as many as possible
19. Write, read, draw, run, kick, throw, skate, laugh, sing, dance; whatever it is: find a passion that makes you happy and makes you you and own it
20. Having a personality and knowing who you are can be scary but it's so important to becoming your own person and ultimately will help lead to you being content in life
Thanks for making it to the end of this article! Sorry this one wasn't as funny but getting older makes me a little more thoughtful so I thought I'd share. Special thanks to all the teachers who showed me some the lessons on the list. If you agree with this list or maybe learned something new, feel free to give it a share. Thanks for reading!
