20 years is not that long of a time. But to me it is a lifetime. Literally. With my 20th birthday on the 14th I thought I would make a list of the most important things I have learned in my time on this Earth.

20. Family is important

19. But, sometimes you need other older role models and parent figures

18. Always root against Pittsburgh

17. People come and go

16. It's okay to cry

15. Do not take everything so seriously

14. Not everyone in the gym is looking at you

13. Those guys with ripped arms and abs did not get them by accident

12. Never turn down a free concert or show

11. Spend money on experiences rather than stuff

10, Laughter is the best

9. Siblings do not need to be blood related to you

8. My political opinion has no place on Facebook

7. It is okay to be wrong

6. You don't have to agree with what I say, write, or believe

5. People will die

4. Life is really very short, don't waste a single day

3. Eat the cake

2. Love will find you

1. Happiness is a choice

Maybe in another 10 years I will have more to add, but for now this is what I have learned and will follow.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
