I wish I knew when I was 18




Wish somebody had told me when I was 18 that

1. Time flies when you are having fun, no wonder childhood and youth seem to be over so fast. Savor every moment.
2. Take more risks. Youth is when time is on your side. Go out and test your limitations.
3. When they say these are the best days, believe it. Before long your body and your heart and mind will not be in sync. Your mirror will start to lie about your age.
4.Grab every opportunity you have to learn and grow. You cannot learn always from others mistakes. Step out of your comfort zone and make your own sense of life.
5.When it feels wrong – it most probably is so. And if in doubt ask your parents or adults with experience. 
6. Travel , explore and open up your mind. Unlearn what school and your parents taught you and develop your own values and opinions.
7.It is probably the best you will look – so love how you look. You will regret not looking your best when you looked your best.
8. Break some rules. You have the whole life ahead of you to follow them. Just remember, there are always consequences to your action and some will change your life forever.
9.You study to be able to support yourself. Financial independence is the reason most of us go to college. No one will be paying your bills. Keep that goal in mind always.
10. There will always be people smarter, prettier , nicer than you now. That in no way undermines your credibility. Everyone peaks at different pace, your time will come,just be ready for it. Your job is to be the best you can always.You owe it to yourself.
