some things i've learned along the way...

Never say i love you unless you mean it - NEVER regret. You’ll always have some good memories - If he says : i don’t want a girl friend ‘right now’ – ditch him - Sit ups every day for a week DO make a difference - Never diet. Ever. It just makes you fatter... - He’ll miss you when you’re gone. - If you’ve got it- flaunt it.... cuz soon, it will go away... - Guys prefer girls who wear less make up. - If he goes back to her... again... after all she’s put him through, they deserve each other - NEVER apologize for being yourself - Don’t straighten or blow dry your hair everyday... it does damage.... irreplaceable damage - You dumped him for a reason. Remember that - You need to MAKE things happen - There isn’t a known answer for everything... - Never hold back. It hurts, but it’s SO worth it - You don’t always “just know” immediately... it dawns on you during inconvenient moments.. - You’re never too old to have a stuffed animal to sleep with- if you’re sleeping alone... - Cramming is better than not studying at all - Hugs really do help - If you can’t see yourself kissing him, it’s not mean to be. - If you do kiss him and you don’t like it, it’s not meant to be. - Heels totally work with jeans. - If you have a nice body, you can pull off anything until you’re 25. Then you look kind of crazy. - If it’s worth it, buy it. - If he DOESN’T introduce you to his family members when you and they are under the same roof – FORGET HIM - Hating people takes too much effort- don’t bother. Pity them instead. - ALWAYS wash your face before bed, no matter how tired you are. - If you’re alone, take up the whole bed. Why not? - When you have a “moment” with someone, you’ll know, and remember it. They’re rare - Swearing is not the worst thing one could do. - Don’t pack too early, you just end up needing the things you packed and have to repack - If you don’t like YOURSELF around a particular person, do not choose to BE around that person. - Never settle. - Always have a goal for yourself - He may be cute, but he knows it. - When in doubt, make a chart. - Or ask your mom - Being smart is totally better than being pretty – but being both helps - Try not to burn bridges. The people you don’t care for may end up serving a purpose. - Friends come and go. Boyfriends come and go. Family is obligated to stick with you, even when you’re crazy. Keep them close. - Never turn down a free massage... - Patience is a virtue. A rare virtue... - Be independent. Even when you don’t have to be, you never know when you’ll have choice BUT to be. - Praying works ... lol, i mean helps... - TRUST your instincts. I know, corny – but it’s TRUE. - Sometimes, it’s okay to lie - Cheating is never acceptable. Even if the ‘bad guys are going to win’ - People are usually what you expect them to be. Key word, being ‘usually’ - It’s okay to cry. But to save some dignity, wait until you get home... - To attract a boy you like, ignore them. - Regardless of your marital status: it is NOT okay to sleep with someone whom is not the person you are crushing on. - Know your standards. Keep them - Rinsing your hair in cold water makes it shine - Being productive makes you happy - Beat them at their own game.
