2.Keep a close eye on your relationship with substances.
Many of you will have serious problems with them and wont realize until youre in very deep.
3.Always watch how your love interest treats other people.
The day will inevitably come when that person will treat you the same way.
4.Dont waste time being anti.
I said things like, They only like it because its popular.
This thing IM into is clearly better.
5.Avoid staying in a job where youre totally bored or hate facing it every day.
Plus risks are super fun and empowering when all the consequence is on you!
After kids then the exhilaration becomes guilt.
8.Dont date someone because you are lonely.
Date someone because you see a future with them.
9.Not forgiving my best friend for something really minor.
I stopped talking to her, even though she apologized a million times.
Now, I dont even know where she is anymore.
She was a really good friend, and I was an asshole.
10.Dont eat out of boredom or to make yourself feel better when youre down.
A slice or two of pizza on occasion is OK; a whole pizza, not so much.
Also, go easy on the sugary drinks and alcohol.
12.Do not lie to your S/O.
Theyre supposed to be your best friend.
13.Dont self harm, or do drugs.
If you have a crush and its obvious they dont like you back, get over it.
If you think you or a friend may have depression or any other mental disorders, like get help.
If youre thinking about suicide, DO.
14.Marriage and children are not for everyone.
Its bliss for some people.
Its absolute carnage for others.
One glove does not fit everyone.
If you are happy and content being with yourself.
Accept it, enjoy it.
Dont let the world let you take on a responsibility that has no expiration date.
16.Not putting effort and the focus that was required for school.
Yes, Ive ended up doing extremely well for myself within a few years after high school.
But I sure as hell wish I actually paid attention.
Late into senior year is when I made the change, although late on the school part.
I began finding new people that were purely dedicated.
17.Love is a two way street.
On a related note, the fear of being alone is both real and powerful.
18.Dont marry the wrong person.
And dont marry the wrong persons family.
Thats right, when you marry someone, you also marry their family.
When I married, we lived hundreds of miles from her family, so I didnt know them well.
Things changed, and we were living within 5 miles of her family.
19.Dont show loyalty where it isnt deserved, that applies to people, brands, companies you work for.
20.Dont put too much thought into what people think about you.
Just be a good person and have good intentions and realize that you cant c’mon everyone.
21.Dont associate with those that dont have your best interests at heart when it matters.
22.Learn to communicate effectively.
Youll lose good people from your life if you cant do it right, so learn.
23.Credit cards are not free money.
Its so easy to charge just this one little thing over and over until the card is maxed out.
24.Take care of what you have before it becomes what you had.
25.Working in a family-owned business (as an outsider) can go really fucking south.
You will get the silent treatment, in the worst-case scenario Ive experienced.
In general, there will always be underlying tension and loads of unprofessional behavior.
Im personally never doing it again, if I can help it.
26.Brushing your teeth might seem minor but if you dont holy shit its finna come hit like a truck.
And also makes finding a soulmate a whole lot easier.
When they are gone youre going to be the one left with regret, not them.
Youre just a lightning conductor for all their insecurities.
My last pregnancy, I was in excruciating pain, losing weight and wasnt hungry.
My OBs brushed off my concerns, just saying every pregnancy is different.
I was in the ER twice with upper abdominal pain.
Neither time did they check my son.
I had undiagnosed HELLP Syndrome.
Because the doctors wouldnt listen, my son died.
You know your body.
Dont let doctors ignore you.
30.Read your insurance policies.
Know whats in there and if you have enough or too much coverage.
Do the homework, even if its just tedious busywork.
Keep all your handouts organized and neat.
Do projects and papers step by step.
High school isnt about learning material as much as it is teaching you HOW to learn material.
32.For the love of everything that is good, dont ever take up smoking.
33.Dont ever think you still have some fun time left and avoid your responsibilities.
Its a slippery slope.
Regrets have been made.
