What I've Learned

Okay so last year I decided to write 18 things i learned while I was 18... and I thought it'd be a good idea to do it again so here it goes.

1. I am incapable of being a "casual dater"

2. My family and friends mean more to me than I could ever explain.

3. People make promises they cannot keep. It doesn’t mean they’re lying it’s just that they are not mature or capable enough to keep those promises.
4. Your life means nothing without people to share it with.

5. You cannot no matter how hard you try change someone... they are who they are so just get used to it.

6. I am never going the person I want to be without God's help

7. Life goes on. You make mistakes and they seem like they're going to ruin your life... but everyone makes mistakes and I've yet to see anyone die from failing a class.

8. I will never be one of those people who only halfway loves their friends/family/bf whatever. I am either not interested or I’m in it for the long haul.

9. I need music in my life to be truly happy.

10. I can't wait to turn 21 so I can drink... even though I probably won't it'd be nice to know that I can.

11. Relationships are NEVER easy lol and the reason is because it's hard to understand another person and try to think of them before you

12. Money is way too darn important in this world. I wish I could just do what I want without having to worry about paying bills but such is life

13. Life is what you make it. So what if things are not exactly how I thought they'd be... sometimes that's a good thing because what I thought would make me happy doesn't even come close to the happy accidents that happen.

14. Not spending everyday with someone doesn't mean that you don't care about them. Sometimes distance strengthens a relationship.

15. All I really want is to be self sufficiant. I want to have my own apartment, pay my own bills and have a full time job I can count on.

16. Never make someone a priority in your life who will only makes you an option
17. I am a hopeless romantic hidden in a realists mindset. But no one wants someone to break past my barrier more than I do.

18. True love waits. I know I wrote that last year but I learned how important that was this year.

19. You can't wait around forever to get what you want. No one is going to help you because everyone is too busy thinking about themselves so go out and get it yourself!

I'm officially no longer a teenager... it feels good too :-)Here's to turning 20 and waiting to turn 21!
