1. Always have a water bottle in your car 2. Carry an extra lighter (even if you donāt smoke) 3. Get something new where you go to eat often, not just your usual. 4. Make a budget for yourself 5. But donāt forget to give yourself some play money and always round up on how much things cost so you have money left over 6. If youāre texting someone, but nervous to send it, just click the fucking send button. You typed that shit out for a reason. 7. Stay out late, but wake up early. Youāll be glad you had all of your day. 8. If something makes you laugh until your sides hurt, write it down in the notes in your phone, youāll want to remember that later. 9. When youāre talking to someone, and you suddenly think of something you want to say, put up a finger and wait for them to finish talking. Itāll help you remember what you wanted to say, but you wonāt interrupt them. 10. Go to plenty of concerts. Especially outdoor ones. Get drunk with your friends, but not sloppy drunk. Just drunk enough to scream your favorite songs and dance without feeling embarrassed. 12. Always keep a change of clothes in your car. Including a pair of shoes. You never know. 13. Keep at least $20 cash on you at all times. Gas is usually cheaper when you pay with cash, and not everywhere you go to eat splits checks. 14. Itās okay to be sad, but try not to forget about what makes you happy. 15. Coupons are always fantastic. 16. If you think something is cute, fucking wear it. Donāt worry about what everyone else thinks. Youāll look great, I promise. 17. Sex stores are fun, even if you just want a good laugh. 18. Plan out your days off with your friends, that way you arenāt stuck around asking the āI donāt know what do you wanna doā 19. Donāt forget to remind your friends how much they mean to you. 20. If someone gives you a compliment, smile and say thank you. They wouldnāt say it, if they didnāt mean it. 21. Drink plenty of water. Not only does it keep you hydrated, but clears your skin. 22. I know you might want to be tan, but is it really worth being burnt and exposing yourself to all that skin cancer bull shit? No. Use at least SPF 15. Itās not that hard and youāll still tan. So stop being a brat. 23. Youāre allowed to be happy. Donāt ever let anyone tell you otherwise. 24. Aim to be better, not bitter. 25. Some days are better than others. 26. You can never over pack. Pack what you want. Youāll be glad you have options to choose from. 27. Take those extra hours at work. Itāll be worth it when you see your paycheck. 28. Clean your fucking room and make your bed you slob. Itāll look so much nicer and youāll feel better you did it. 29. If you have to, make the first move. Itās scary, but someone has to do it. 30. Take plenty of pictures. Of the sunset, your food, your friends, your dog, selfies. Everything. That way, later when you scroll through your camera roll, youāll remember everything about that day, good or bad.
