People Don't Care Who You Were in High School
While I was in high school I thought it was so important to be popular, have lots of friends, and be good at lots of things. As soon as I left high school & started secondary education, I noticed right away that it didn't matter who you once were, it mattered who you were now. Your reputation & the people who thought they knew who you were in those four years disappear from your life & that guy that saw you rip your pants probably won't even know your name in a couple years.
Always Drive the Speed Limit
Getting somewhere extremely fast isn't worth the ticket, and it's okay to drive a little under the speed limit sometimes. You don't look cool zooming past people, you look dangerous & not in a sexy way.
Spend Your Time Making Friends
Having a great set of friends is far more important than trying to find someone to be with you, after all it's your friends that are there after the guy is gone. Don't focus all your time on finding someone to take cute Instagram pictures with, instead focus your time on meeting new people & gaining friendships that'll last a life time, especially if you just got out of a long relationship. Don't rush into anything with anyone because you're lonely, and if you are seeing someone focus on being great friends with them first.
If You Need Help, Ask.
If you get yourself in a rut & that rut keeps getting bigger & bigger because you are too afraid to sound irresponsible, just stop while you can. It takes awhile to really figure out adulthood's realities & it takes a couple mistakes to realize that you're not super woman. Your parents will understand because I am sure at one point they were in similar situations while growing up, so don't be afraid to ask for help every once in awhile.
Men's Razors are Better
Enough with the girl razors. Buy guy razors! they make your legs feel silky smooth.
Not Everyone is Going to Like You
You can't expect every single person on this planet to absolutely love you! Just like people can't expect you to like everyone. Sometimes characters just clash & there isn't much you can do about it, but smile & wave. You don't have to be a complete asshole to everyone you don't like, but you also don't have to go out of your way for them either.
A Bubble Bath & Wine Fixes Almost Anything
Having a bad day? Well, go grab your favourite wine, run the bath water, burn some candles, and forget about all your problems. But don't even worry, they come back as soon as you're done...but hey! That half hour was nice wasn't it?!
It's Nice to Have a Good Cry
Sometimes you just need to cry it out. Crying does not show weakness, it shows that you are human & you feel things.
If He Wants to Talk to You He Will
If someone doesn't really answer your text messages, it's probably not because they are busy & don't like texting..It's probably because they don't want to talk to you. People will make the effort if they want to, and if someone is stand offish, don't send them a million messages till they answer or tell you why. Trust me it's just awkward & you look crazy.
Family is Important
After all, they are the ones that love you regardless of anything right? So, don't forget to stay in touch with siblings, grandparents, cousins, aunties, etc. Also, keep your parents in the loop because even though you're getting all "free willy" on them, it's nice to let them know where you are & that you love them. Plus! Now that you're getting older, they actually are kind of cool right?
Pizza Hotline is Fantastic After a Night Out
Wow! Can I just say thankgod for pizza hotline being open so late. Normally their pizza isn't that great, but mix a little alcohol & let me tell you at 2 a.m. it has never tasted better.
I Could live Off of $20 dollars a Week & Survive
Sometimes you just gotta learn to live off of mustard sandwiches & coffee because well, life wouldn't go on without that dress...
