15 Lauren Conrad Life Lessons

Advice from Laguna Beach's finest

Feb 16, 2016

We've religiously watched Lauren Conrad's every move for years, now. She's just downright inspirational. We have seen her with Stephen then Jason then back to Stephen then back to Jason then Brody and now happily married. From Laguna Beach to L.A., we watched her experience high school, college, and internships and saw her become "the girl who didn't go to Paris." We stuck by her side throughout all the friendship drama and envied the late nights out at exclusive clubs. Through it all though, LC has taught us some amazing life lessons that we are never going to forget.

1. When making decisions...

Before you say something on reality TV you might regret, or wear Uggs with your jean mini skirt, LC advises you to definitely think your decisions through.

2. There's nothing like a fresh start.

Everyone deserves a second chance, and it's never too late to start anew.

3. Quality over quantity.

Life's too short to keep the fake people around, don't waste your time surrounded by people who don't truly care about you. Appreciate the ones that stick by your side through everything; you deserve only the best of friends in your life!

4. Seriously, no need for those fake friends!

5. Settling for second best is not an option.

Never, ever settle. You're too wonderful, unique and perfect to not be truly happy in life.

6. Priorities, people!

Be sure to always make time for your friends, in the end they're the ones who will still be there for you.

7. Life's too short to let anything bring you down!

8. You can't always get what you want.

9. She certainly knew how to throw graceful shade.

10. She knows how to be the better person.

Being nice to people you don't like is not equivalent to being fake; it's simply taking the higher road and moving on. Just kill them with kindness!

11. Own up to your mistakes.

12. Be honest.

Sometimes, you really need to hear that tough advice. Always tell it like it is!

13. Forgive and forget.

This may be LC's most infamous advice ever, but, she's absolutely right. There's no need to keep toxic people in your life, forget the grudges and rid your life of the people who don't need to be there anymore.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
