Lessons Learned

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. 
- Maya Angelou

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while. Life caught up with me. But in honor of the end of 2014 and the beginning of 2015, let me share a few things that I've learned this past year.

1. Just because you work hard for something doesn't mean you'll get it.

2. Sometimes you do get the things you work hard for. But don't rub it in other people's faces, #1 may apply to them.

3. Do everything that you enjoy. Eat the second cupcake, binge watch a show on Netflix.

4. Sometimes school can wait, just don't slack off.

5. Trying things you've never done before isn't always a bad thing. You might find that you like something more than you thought you would.

6. Same goes for meeting new people. 

7. Putting yourself first isn't a bad thing. Don't forget you have needs too.

8. Dating people twice is a bad idea. If it didn't work the first time it's not going to work again.

9. People change. Don't over think it too much. Leave them behind, you're better than they are.

10. Buying that cute shirt, mug, sign, etc. won't kill you.

11. Never skip out on coffee in the morning. It just makes you grumpy.

12. Plans don't always work out. Going with the flow will stress you out less and you'll always be surprised.
