Twenty (Part Five)

I haven’t written about my journey as a twenty year old in a little bit. I’ve only been twenty for two months already! TWO MONTHS that’s so crazy! Ill tell you this much. It has been two months of so much awesomeness! Of so much goodness! so much joy! so much laughter. I have gained and I have lost. I continue to grow and continue to be wrapped in Gods love and I cannot tell you how much happiness I have been feeling! 

I want to know everything! I am so curious of the world! I want to read good books, and know big words! I want to cook and bake so so much! I want to just dance under the stars with the one I love and smile and just think wow! When I was a teenager (which I know wasn’t to long ago) non of these really interest me. I didn’t want to read a good book, I didn’t want to cook.. I just feel like I am learning about myself in a totally new way and it is a beautiful thing everyday! I LOVE being 20! I love it! and I will continue to love it.

19 Things I Learned While I was 19

Today marks the most important day of my life; I have left my teenage years behind and circled the sun for the twentieth time. I wanted to reflect back on my 19 years and share the 19 things I have learned so far..

So in no specific order, here it goes..

1. You can’t control every second of your life.

2. There will come a point in your life when you will have to play at odds.

3. There is nothing wrong with taking each day as it comes.

4. Plans don’t always work out, so do the best you can with what you have.

5. There will always be people who will try to make you feel small. You shouldn’t let them get to you, because that’s their insecurity speaking.

6. That being said, there will be a handful of people that will always be there for you. Cherish them and let them know you love them, no matter what; they are the ones who make your life better and a lot more brighter. (especially your parents, they are your biggest fans.. even though you may not think so, at times)

7.Don’t hold back. Open up to others, talk to them. Get to know the girl you want to be friends with; talk to that guy in your class, whom you have a crush on..

8. Long chats over coffee are the best.

9. Timothy’s has the best pumpkin spice lattes and doubles as a great study space.

10. You will encounter a lot of people with huge egos, don’t let them bring you down. Speak up.

11.Defend yourself at all costs. Remember, you are your best friend first.

12. Over the years, things change and people you were once close with, drift apart. That’s okay.. it just means it’s time to move on.

13. Enjoy the little things. Live in the moment. Make mistakes, fall and learn from the failures.

14. Try to be as independent as possible. The feeling of  completely relying on yourself can be scary, but is exhilarating and completely worth it.

15. Don’t do things last minute. You will always end up cursing yourself and invite unwanted raccoon eyes for the morning.

16. Last minute plans are the best ones. Go with the flow.

17. That being said, always plan for tomorrow. Here’s a quote that explains what I mean- “do something today that your future self will thank you for.”

18. Always seize opportunities and try to achieve as much as you can in a day. Go after your goals; make your hopes and dreams into a reality. At the end of the day, you should not have the regret that you didn’t try hard enough or that you didn’t give it all you had.

19. Things don’t always work out the way you want them to. Be patient because life has a funny way of giving things back to you. As J.K. Rowling would put it, “things you lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.”
