cheers to 22!
How have I only been alive for such a short amount of time yet lived such an eventful, adventurous and #blessed life? I am continuously thankful for each and every event, big or small, that has happened in the past 22 years. I have learned so many things on this journey we call life and I cannot wait to learn more. There is no better time than a milestone day to reflect on 22 things I’ve learned along the way.
People who want to be in your life will be there
Dress for the job you want, not the job you have
Get out of your own head, you are amazing
Stop comparing yourself to people who are not in your league
Stop telling yourself you belong in a certain league, and start telling yourself that anything is possible
Own your style
Prove the naysayers wrong
Dig deep
Don’t wait around for an opportunity, take it
Challenge yourself daily
Maximize your time (Seriously…)
Don’t let people get under your skin
Checklists are your best friend
Take time for you, hit that reset button
Invest in friendships
Travel, travel, travel – the experiences you gather while traveling, especially while traveling alone, are irreplaceable
Be best friends with your parents and your siblings
You are not defined by a number. Don’t let things like your GPA or ACT, GRE, MCAT, LSAT scores get in your head, or the number in your bank account, or on the scale
Be prepared for things like interviews and meetings, do your research
Control the controllables, the rest will happen and you have to learn to roll with the punches
Communicate with others and don’t let them be non-communicative with you- and if they are, there’s no room for them in your life
Know your worth
These 22 things have shaped me into the person I am today.
