Twenty five things I learned in twenty fives years, in no particular order...........
1. Going to college and getting good grades doesn’t necessarily secure you a good paying job in the real world2. Don’t drive a car that is too big for you, even though it’s a nice car.
3. Start saving money early.
4. Everyone has their own goals and dreams. Don’t judge others.
5. The “what I want to be when I grow up” we write about in elementary school doesn’t come true for the vast majority.
6. Cheese is delicious. I wish I knew how good it was earlier.
7. Friends are important in life, but at the same time, we have to understand the level of friendship we have with are friends will change throughout our life.
8. Change is inevitable. It’s up to you to see the glass as half full or half empty.
9. Everyone should travel to a foreign country at least once. It is such an eye opener to experience other cultures.
10. I often have too much on my plate than I can handle—both literally and metaphorically.
11. Buy life insurance and buy it when you’re young. The earlier you buy it, the less your monthly premium will be.
12. Knowledge is power only when you apply the knowledge.
13. It’s not always what you know, but who you know.
14. Be the change you want to see.
15. “Love—everyone wants it, but not everyone finds it.”
16. Smiling is the universal icebreaker.
17. Exercise. Your metabolism slows down dramatically when you get older and if you have to sit on your butt eight hours a day.
18. Everyone needs an indulgence every now and then.
19. It isn’t worth it to go shopping on Black Friday. You’d make better use of your time sleeping in.
20. Alcohol isn’t as great as it’s made out to be, especially if you’re allergic to it.
21. I need to think before I speak. Not everyone can handle bluntness.
22. Be kind and helpful to the people you cross paths with in your life. You never know when you’ll cross paths again or when you may need their help.
23. Sleep is important. However, sleeping and being a college student are two things that don’t go together.
24. Women over-complicate things; men over-simplify things.
25. Live. Laugh. Learn. Love.
人生要学习的事情不止今少......
ReplyDeleteB/c I'm bored at work, I'm going to respond to each of your 25 points:
ReplyDelete1. It really doesn't. I totally agree with you. Yet here I am, BACK in school.
2. I drove a big van before..? Small cars FTW!
3. I'm still learning this one.
4. I judge those that DON'T have their own goals and dreams. What a waste of life.
5. It's a good thing too. I wanted to be a singer. Had I pursued that dream, I'd be living in a box right now.
6. I always did ;)
7. Ya it's a really sad truth :(. I'm glad you haven't completely disappeared from my life!
8. I honestly don't see it as either. To me it's whether I would need a refill or not. Depends on how thirsty I am.
9. YES!!! It was the highlight of my year (and possibly life). I'm hooked!
10. Me too. But it really depends on how fast you can eat. Know what I mean?
11. I found out like last year that I do have life insurance. I'm not worth much tho.
12. What if you don't have any knowledge to begin with?
13. Yup! That's why we need to get out there and socialize! I want to meet more people. I'm just too busy to go out.
14. It's hard. I've been wanting to change for so long, but bad habits are hard to break. Especially if the habit is delicious.
15. I think everyone finds love. Not necessarily romantically, but in other people (like friends) or objects (like phone keychains).
16. True...even if the icebreaker makes for creepy awkwardness. lol.
17. no comment.
18. I agree!
19. It's the thrill that makes it worth it :)
20. But it's fun to be buzzed and carefree sometimes. Just a nice way to temporarily escape reality.
21. Um, ya, you do. Especially when you're typing it in emails....
22. yup
23. Actually I haven't pulled any all-nighters so far. I think the least sleep I got since being in school was like 4 hours. And that was only once.
24. I think men can over-complicate things too. I have experienced it.
25. and eat and sleep.
