Ten things I learned while being Eighteen

I thought that since I will be turning 19 this November 29th, that I should share the 10 things I learned while being 18:

1. Spending your 18th birthday at Harry Potter World is the best idea.

2. It's okay if you loose your best-friend because, you are young and will make new friends.

3. If you are unhappy about your appearance it is okay to change it.

4. Spending $150 worth on just Nirvana band t shirts is sometimes necessary

5. Running through downtown Disney after Prom in your dress and dancing to all the Disney music is better than prom

6. You do not need to have pictures of every aspect of your life, because it is the memory inside your mind that matters the most

7. You first love is called your first love because it wasn't meant last, and you will love again

8. Do not let what someone says of you get you down, because it says more of them than you

9. You are allowed to start over and be who you want at any time

10. The most important thing I learned while being 18 is that taking care of yourself mentally and physically is so much more important than taking care of other people, that if you need help because you cannot seem to smile anymore, that its okay to ask for help, that you need to be happy.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time. I'm not complaining, because I'd rather have a whole week off than three days, but there is a lot of down time. Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
