There any many hard facts you learn as an adult. Sometimes, we refuse to come to terms with or we just have never thought much about it. These 10 facts are some of the things I believe we need to come to terms with to live a better life.

We all have different paths

Giphy

It will take different amounts of time and energy to follow your own path.

You are who you surround yourself with

Giphy

Good friends will encourage you to do good things.

Always do your best

Giphy

Because you can never fail.

Laugh more than you cry

Giphy

But when you do need to cry, let it all out.

Never stop learning

Giphy

and never stop asking "Why?".

Always be yourself

Giphy

If you don't, you will be too busy trying to keep up with all your lies instead of having fun.

Know what you see on social media

Giphy

Is not how it is 100% of the time. They are only showing the good parts of their lives.

Happiness is not a place

Giphy

It comes from within you. Don't keep saying "I'll be happy when I get this job.". Be happy with what you have and then you will be happy for the rest of your life.

You are by yourself

Giphy

In the end it all comes down to you. Your life is made up by your choices.

Don't take life so seriously

Giphy

Because no one gets out alive anyways.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
