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.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
