Thus Far

On the verge of turning twenty, here's what I've learned so far in life


Our age means less and less each year.

It's okay not to know as long as you follow your gut instinct.

Cool is cool because it doesn't try to be cool.

In the thick of it, you can only fully rely on yourself. No one else.

Being spontaneous throughout the day or just breaking up your daily routine will remind you that life is good.

Discomfort today builds up your personal growth for tomorrow.

You will never forget the ones that gave you good advice or cared for you.

What may be best for someone else is not always what is best for you.

People come and go. And it takes two.

Bad days exist so better days can be more enjoyed.

Learning how to give and take is a balancing act.

Your youthfulness is everlasting.

Comparing your life to the lives of others will ultimately degrade your own.

No one knows you as well as you know yourself.

You can accomplish more in a day than you realize.

First impressions are good but not the end-all be-all.

Your happiness is more important than your righteousness.

Saying no doesn't mean you're weak.

If you decide to wake up tomorrow and do something differently in your life, go for it.

You are gold.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
