  1. Getting a dog is the most rewarding, tiring, expensive, and loving thing you can do

  3. Boys will waste your time, look for a man
  4. Take your health seriously
  5. If it takes you an extra year to graduate college, enjoy it but work hard
  6. Instagram captions can make or break the picture
  7. Focus on yourself
  8. Use your “jealousy” of another person as motivation to be a better you!
  9. Be you, do you, for YOU
  10. Learn how to cook basic meals for yourself
  11. Don’t hold on to a relationship, or a friendship, just because you have a ton of history.  If it’s toxic for you it doesn’t matter

  13. Set short term AND long term goals
  14. Get into a skin care routine, you might find it annoying now but you’ll thank yourself later
  15. Don’t get wrapped up in “quick fixes” work hard, all the time and earn it
