19 Rules I learned by 19

Today marks another year of me doing this crazy thing we call life. As I continue to grow awkwardly and unapologetically, I have decided to share what I have learned thus far in life. Keep scrolling for my 19 rules of life.

1. Always dress as if it is your last day on earth.

2. "Thank You" cards are very important.

3. Other people being intimidated by you is their problem, not yours.

4. Your body is beautiful, get comfortable in it.

5. Don't be afraid to feel it all.

6. Drink lots of water. Seriously.

7. There is such a thing as beauty sleep, and it is very important.

8. Get off your phone. Be present, enjoy the moment as it's happening.

9. Lying to get out of a situation is never going to be the proper way to get out of a situation.

10. Don't do anything your mother wouldn't be proud of.

11. Say "I love you" more often.

12. Hug your friends and always kiss the homies goodnight. Show them how much you appreciate them.

13. Your body, your choice.

14. It's ok to be lost sometimes. Nobody has it all figured out.

15. Always order dessert.

16. Happiness is what makes you glow. Happy girls are pretty girls.

17. You are young, and you are going to make mistakes. Own up to them unapologetically and make sure you learn your lesson the first time.

18. Always make time to have a good time.

19. Every floor is a dance floor if you're brave enough.

Love always,

The birthday girl <3
