Turning 20...

I know I've just turned 20, and I don't have much life experience. I still have so many things to see and accomplish, but I just wanted to make a blog post on the things I have learned in these 20 years. 

1) Don't waste time at school doing useless things...

2) but still remember to have fun.

3) You don't need lots of friends to be happy, only a few very close ones. 

4) Trying harder now will only make your life easier later.

5) When you're in those teenage years, every small thing can feel like the end of the world. Just be strong and pull through, things will get way better.

6) Don't be shy, if you have good ideas or opinions, share them.

7) Being jealous of others will get you nowhere.

8) Instead of thinking you can't do it, just give it your best. Whats the worst that could happen?

9) Don't be afraid of what others may think, people will judge you regardless of what you do.

10) Dream big.

11) Grab every good opportunity to learn something new; a musical instrument, a new language, a new skill, etc.

12) Don't decide big things like Uni or what course to study in a haste, think carefully, do some proper research.

13) Don't neglect your close friends and family, sometimes you're so busy doing your own thing, you don't think about what the people who you love want.

14) Visit as many great places as you could.

15) The more efficiently you revise, the more time you spend on work, the better the results. Don't hardly touch your books and expect A*'s.

16) Never stop trying to become a better person.

17) Learn to manage your finances better, don't spend more than you earn.

18) Just because there's a deadline don't leave things till that day, try to get things done in advance. 

19) Always think about the positive aspect of things, don't dwell on the negative side.

20) Remember to learn from your mistakes instead of being upset about them. Every failure is a step towards success.
