Things We Know, But Sometimes Forget
Caroline McBroom Photography

It is extremely easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle of life. I find myself forgetting the simple things. Here is a list of 16 thoughts I needed to remind myself of, and maybe you do, too!!

1. When your boyfriend talks to another girl, it is okay.


Do not let yourself seem crazy over a conversation about Wednesday's accounting homework.

2. Invest in the quality shoes, girlie.

My go-to shoes are Brooks, you can find them linked here.

3. Social media is not real.

4. If you tend to blame others, you need to stop as soon as possible.

“And if you fall on the concrete, that is your a** fault.” Thanks, Kanye.

5. Using only a make up remover wipe is not good enough.

Even after the “worst night ever,” do your full nightly regimen. Be nice to your skin, it will thank you in 20 years. I recently fell in love with Rodan+Fields!!

6. There is no reason to have four pairs of Kendra Scott 'Elle' earrings. Two is enough.

7. Your hair looks fine.

8. Be an ACTIVE listener in every conversation you have.

9. Instagram Direct Messaging is not an appropriate form of communication.

10. You do not have to say yes to everything, but always say yes to girl talk and a mani/pedi.

11. What Susie says about Sally says more of Susie than Sally.

12. ALWAYS have the drive to be better than you were yesterday.

13. You only get so many college weekends, so GO OUT. But either Friday or Saturday, never both.

14. Water. Water. Water. I have linked the only bottle you will ever need here.

15. Stop looking at who viewed your Snapchat story.

If they are on your friends list, they will eventually watch your story. That is how the app works.

16. B E H A P P Y.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
