Today is a very special day. It's my 21st birthday!

I honestly can't believe I've been around for 21 years. I'm not old, but I'm definitely not a baby. To commemorate my sparkling achievements, I've made a list of 21 things I want to tell my younger self:

1. You are gonna get hurt… a lot.
2. Listen to mom, dad, and Chelsey. Especially Chelsey. She’ll be your rock when you can’t go to them. She’s not a mean big sister.
3. Be nicer to your brothers. They’re not dumb babies, and you’re not Angelica Pickles.
4. You’ll want to be Eliza Thornberry…. but you’ll end up having Debbie’s attitude –and that's cool too.
5. Nick Jonas is going to wave at your sister at the concert, not you. Please don’t put honey on her pillow while she sleeps to get back at her.
6. Your hair will grow back.
7. Drink more water.
8. You don’t look like a bird.
9. Or a horse.
10. Kids in school are mean sometimes.
11. Try harder with gymnastics/dance.
12. Get into musicals a lot earlier. Don’t be afraid of what people will think!
13. Mom and dad are going to get a divorce. It’s not the end of the world. It may hurt a lot, but don’t just bottle it up.
14. 12-15 will be the worst years. THE WORST. You’ll feel like there's no way out, but I promise you there is.
15. Tell Sweaty things when you feel like you can’t handle life anymore. That’s why she’s your best friend
16. Listen to Sweaty more. Especially about music and TV.
17. One Direction is gonna ruin you
18. Zayn will leave One Direction
19. One Direction will leave you, but you’ll live.
20. Start your Korean lessons a lot earlier. Because GOT7 is alive and out there, and ready to take all your money.
21. You’ve grown up to be an amazing adult. Don’t let any of your past mistakes define you. Everything will fall into place just perfectly.
