The one thing life has taught me is:

To never turn your back on a friend, never quit, complete what you've started, speak when spoken to, listen to the words others have to say, but formulate your own opinion. be open to the ways and practices of others, have great faith, but don't be afraid of your doubts. stay healthy, it makes you happier. Eat!!! Make time for a few balanced meals each day and be sure to start each morning out with a breakfast... big or small, it doesn't matter much, just don't skip it, trust me, you'll regret it. Don't spend too much time looking in mirrors, people will thing your stuck up and all you are doing is pointing out your own flaws. Laugh as much as you can, it's good for your mind & it can really be a mindless Ab exercise. :) Breathe!!! - sounds silly, I am aware, but in a given situation you will understand what I mean. Be patient, people are moving so fast in life, take the time to appreciate the imperfections and annoyances that pepper your life. Don't get stuck in routines, dare to try new things, get crazy sometimes, take time out for yourself, enjoy music, take breaks, go for long, pointless car rides, take lots of photos, bc memories cannot be replaced, and love as much as you can. Look for the good in others, make mistakes, but LEARn from them, keep a smile on your face, dress comfortably, match your bra and your underwear, splurge on yourself, but take care to save up your money, work a job, & put forth an image of success at ALL times.
