These are some pieces of advice I've gotten before I leave my teenage years behind and some are things that I've had to learn all on my own. There were times when I had to think back to these wise words and analyze the situation I was in again before I finally felt at peace. I hope that someone besides myself can benefit from having these words to look back on.


1. Becoming an adult is a scary thing

2. But that comes with life, so you gotta handle it the best you can

3. You lose friends that you considered to be as close as family

4. You can lose family members without them dying

5. Some change is good

6. You can lose someone you love dearly in the blink of an eye

7. Math is just something that you have to endure even if it's the worst subject on earth

8. You can only give so many second chances before it's not worth it anymore

9. Being a little kid is awesome

10. But you won't realize that until it's too late

11. People drift apart

12. Naps are important when you're a college student

13. The people who really care about you will stay in your life because they want to

14. Cars can be fixed, sometimes people can't

15. Guys can be clueless

16. But some can also be your best friends

17. My family will always be there to pick me up when I fall

Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
