Things I wish I would I had known at eighteen

That school isn’t the most important thing in the world.

That the art I do is valuable even if it never makes me a single cent.

That my hair is a plant it needs lots of moisture and sunlight.

That learning a trade or having a skill is often more important than a degree.

Being married is an added bonus but shouldn’t be a goal in life.

Join more clubs in college. Invite more people in, you’ll find those who are worth it.

If you download a camera app make sure those pics are being backed up.

Don’t fight for relationships that would die if you never picked up the phone.

That trying to study something you hate for money, is NEVER worth it.

Sometimes the people you think you’ll be friends with forever, sometimes leave you for no reason. And you have to accept that and move on.

If anyone ask you to do something that they know you’re uncomfortable with in the name of love. Reconsider the whole relationship.

Dating is great and overrated all at the same time.It’s a lovable anigma.

That learning to be happy and comfortable while single will be one of your greatest accomplishments. One that few people master.

That being a good honest friend even when it hurts will always be one of your most rewarding features.

Don’t fight so hard to be grown, it’s gonna happen and you’re gonna hate paying bills. HATE IT.

Journal more, looking back on yourself at different points in your life, will help you to move forward.

The main weakness in being quick witted is that you often don’t think about how your words effect people.

It’s hard to care when you offend someone and you can’t understand why they’re are hurting.Especially when it’s not your intention, don’t be indifferent, I know it’s difficult.But remember the C.K. quote. “When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don’t get to decide that you didn’t.” Be genuine and apologize (that’s your responsibility in this) and if the person decides they can’t get over it.Grow in the knowledge you tried to repair it,take a note on the words fro future peoples feelings and move on.
