1. “Growing up” doesn’t suck. It’s a time of learning and adjusting.

2. You were only friends with the majority of your school friends because you were forced to be with them seven hours a day, five days a week. There’s gonna be some separation, and the true friends will stick around.

3. Absolutely nobody owes you any-fucking-thing. Not your mom or your dad, your grandparents, your teachers—nobody. Get off your ass and work for what you want.

4. Take advice when you can get it. There are plenty of adults who are more than happy to give you their two cents on any given life topic. Take advantage of their wisdom and stop being so damn stubborn.

5. For the singles; Acting bitter toward the lovey-dovey couples you always see around is the reason why you’re single. No need to be judgmental of others’ relationships…focus on you and your nonexistent relationship.

6. Your nonexistent relationship is completely all right. Take time to truly get to know yourself before you begin to incorporate a whole new person into the picture.

7. Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, etc. are awesome ways to keep up with friends, but you must realize that social media is where people share the best part of their lives. You don’t see their burnt dinners, their ugly breakups, their failed exams or posts about how much weight they have gained. Stop using it as a medium to compare lives.



8. As much as paying rent sucks, at least you have the opportunity to do it. But, umm, pitching up a tent in the corner of the park next to the hobos is oh-so-tempting.

9. Relying on a significant other to bring happiness into your life leads to countless tubs of ice cream, lonesome pizza binging, and a couple of tears. But mainly the first two.

10. Family first. And family doesn’t automatically mean blood related. “Blood is thicker than water,” but ketchup is thicker than blood, so what does that mean? French fries first, duh.

11. You may have it hard, but somebody has it harder, and they aren’t making up excuses as to why they can’t do something. They are making shit happen. Go make shit happen.

12. It is not necessary to document everything you do on social media. You don’t need to put your whole life on display. Unplug yourself and have a little bit of fun.

13. Saving money is probably a good idea and all. However, the tighter you hold onto your money, the more stress it’s going to bring you. Money comes and goes; it’s OK to splurge on random shit every once in a while!

Op a quick summary of your post

1. Some of the things you wrote there we are all aware.

2. You saying nobody owes you anything is a fallacy. How can you justify the fact that a child is born in this hostile world and left with little or nothing to survive on Dawn it, your parents owe you their parental responsibility both financially, emotionally, spiritually etc. So i disagree with you on that.

3. Couples who do lovey-dovey as you put it could be nausetting if they choose to do it in the public and in an inapproriate way so it can never be a reason someone is single.

4. Social network as far as i am concern has been overemphasized. Before the introduction on internet and social media there has been many jobless lazy people even during the era of St. Paul so?

I am loving this
