Some friendships are like bus rides.
They eventually come to an end.
Its crucial to know what you represent and how people will remember you ten years down the road.
Be the best version of yourself.
Listen
If people take time out of their day to criticize, hear what they have to say.
It can be something negative or positive.
It must have made an impact on them.
Criticism often means youre doing something right.
Cry whenever you’re gonna wanna
It is all right to breakdown once in a while.
You will feel much better crying over things than keeping things within.

Breathe and let go.
Appreciate differences and know not everyone will be the way you’re able to expect them to be.

Past experiences shape people to become who they are today.
Never judge anyone for who they are today.
Prioritize standing out rather than fitting in
Trends are stupid.
You are born to be different.
Why bother trying to copy what people do when you might be outstanding?
Listen to other peoples opinions, but make up your own mind
Everyone has an opinion to share.
People would give you opinions about what you do.
Just stop and listen.
Their opinions may not necessarily be for the betterment.
They will feel appreciated that you even bothered to hear what they have to say to you.
Try your best to live in the present
There is a reason why your past is YOUR PAST.
Your years of history are filled with lessons.
Bear them in mind and grow to become a better person.
Learn to let go of the misery of the past.
Let go of things it’s possible for you to never ever change even if you wish to.
Let go of persistent negative thoughts.
Let go of people who do not add any value to your life anymore.
Learn to live for yourself right now and not keep wondering of how you could have changed your past.
Grades arent everything
Your grades matter little with the way you lead life.
Am not saying, grades are completely of little significance.
Grades are important yes.
GRADES ARE NEVER EVERYTHING.
If you are achieving bad grades, no it is not okay, but what can you do?
Nothing can change the bad grades that you already have.
You will do better in the next test.
Believing is already winning half the battle.
Learn to ask for help and improve yourself.
There is more to life than grades.
Be kind to the people around you no matter how much you are going through.
You will never know the difference you make in their lives.
Keep dreaming
Ever had an ambition that scared the hell out of you?
Keep your goals high.
Who knows, one day you will do better in life than you ever expected yourself to.
Take care of yourself get more sleep
Nope.
Not the naps you have in between the entire day.
A SOLID 8 to 9 HOURS OF SLEEP.
Yes, your body and mind need the rest they deserve.
Party less
Parties are overrated.
Spend more time on doing things that would build you up into a better person.
Remember: life is short
Life is a beautiful ride.
Its about the excitement, love, adventures that you never ever imagined you would have.
Be it 20,21,22,30 never settle down .
This is YOUR LIFE.
Never listen to anyone who tells you start to settle down as you hit your 20s.
Continue exploring and take your time to decide on crucial matters.
