Dont add to it by being your own worst enemy.
Dont add to it by being your own worst enemy.

Realize you dont always have to follow their advice, but also realize they arent the enemy.
Try and take a step back and realize they always have your best interest at heart.
3.There will always be that one person from college that refuses to grow up.
Take it a lesson in growing up and leaving the past in the past.

The older we get, the more our friendships change.
Its a natural part of life and the sooner we accept it, the sooner we heal.
6.Your friends will slowly start moving in with SOs, getting married, having kids.
A part of you will feel like theyre abandoning you and leaving you in the past.
Understand that priorities change.
Also make the most of those friendships before the inevitable happens and you start going your separate ways.

Youll always view that relationship as better than it was.

Never be that person.
Youll always regret it come morning.
9.There will come a time where your body can no longer handle repeat instances of binge drinking.

Indulge in the pain.
And then move on.
Take it as a sign that your body is telling you to slow down.

You spend about half your waking day there.
13.How I Met Your Mother was right nothing good ever happens after 2 am.

You werent wrong in ending all your past relationships.

17.You may go years without seeing your college best friend.

Never feel ashamed or the need to make it higher or lower.
Be who you are and own it.

But, also realize people arent their past mistakes.
We all eventually grow up and change.

Before you know it, youll be in your older, married, busy with your own kids.
