Seeing that I am 28 and alomost 29, I have a few years left of what I would like to call "The realm of youngness." Therefore, I have decided to compose a lengthy list of everything I wish I would have known in my early childhood, tweens, teens and twenties. So here we go.
30.Try out for everything you ever wanted to try or be in no matter how embarassed it makes you. You will regret every second you didn't. This includes high school/ college musicals, advanced dance, cheerleading, sports, prom queen, etc.. Throw caution to the wind.
29. Listen to your parents when they tell you school and good grades are important later in life.
28. When a guy/girl breaks up with you, take it as a win and move on. The one that breaks up with you almost always at some point regrets the decision and you don't have to worry about regret because you know you gave it your all.
27. Smile at everyone. I don't care if you are having the shittiest day in the world. A smile goes a long way with anyone. Someone else might be having a shitty day too and your smile could be worth a million bucks in someone's life.
26. Stop thinking about who you are going to end up with and live in the moment. Bask in the randomness and excitement of not knowing where your life will take you.
25. When you get the opportunity to go on an incredable trip out of the country say for instance to London, England, quit worrying about boys and friends and drama and appreciate the view.
24. Take lots and lots of pictures.
23. Don't waste time crying over stupid boys and mean deceitful friends. Just remember it always comes back to bite them.
22. Choose your friends wisely.
21. Say what's on your mind when it's necissary. But try not to hold back. Just tell the truth. Even if it means losing something to gain respect.
20. Eat delicious food and stop worrying so much about your appearance. Enjoy the taste of life. Ashley, there is this thing called exersise.
19. Always shower daily, wear deoterant, and don't shave your eyebrows off and draw them on with a lip liner pencil.
18. When you have kids, try to document everything they say and do. You forget alot of cute stuff if you don't.
17. When you get to be about twenty-five or so, you start appreciating your friends that have stuck around. Appreciate them before if you remember.
16. Michael Jackson dies in your lifetime, so try to meet him before then if you can. As well as any other idol/favorite people.
15. Learn to enjoy hugging. It's never going to go away and people need it from you.
14. When a guy you are dating calls you fat or says anything durogatory to you run, don't walk away from him and never look back. You don't need that asshole in your life. Complete waste of time.
13. Go to Disneyland and the beach as much as possible.
12. Find the good in people. Even if it means looking past their political and religious points of view.
11. Go to as many concerts as you possibly can.
10. Listen.
9. When you have kids,stop and play with them. Try not to yell too much at them either. They are just little.
8. Stand up for your sisters and friends no matter what the cost.
7. Don't beat yourself up on things you just couldn't accomplish or do at the time such as breast feeding.
6. Have sex as much as possible. (Okay within reason)
5. Gain knowledge on sex before having it.
4. Vote for what you stand for.
3. Listen to music every chance you get.
2. Read as many books as you can.
1. Laugh as much as possible. Even if you are the only one in the room.
