22 Life Lessons Learnt in 22 Years

Friday the 27th of April 2018 marks my 22nd birthday and in my precious 22-years on this planet, I’ve learnt many life lessons and seen a lot more than most. 

I can tell you this already, I shall spend the next year blasting out Taylor Swift’s hit ‘anthem’, 22.

Anyways, my birthday in recent years has always been a bit of a pain as it usually falls just before exam season, sigh! My 21st was spent at Thorpe Park in the only day I took off from revising and dissertation writing during the final year of my degree. However, this year, the world is my oyster and I am yet to make any plans – oops.

But before the partying begins, I thought I’d share with you wisdom-filled 22 lessons that I have learnt in my 22 years.

Let’s do this:

22 Life Lessons in 22 Years on Earth…

1: Have confidence in yourself.

2: Make your own choices. Don’t let anyone tell you can’t do or achieve something.

10: Love those who love you back.

11: It’s perfectly fine to be selfish – sometimes you’ve got no choice but to be.

12: Make a fool of yourself every-once-in-a-while. Learn to laugh at yourself as being too serious can be tough.

13: Treat yourself – you earnt it, you spend it, do it un-shamingly too. Whether that’s a night out, a shirt you’ve wanted for a while or some stand out frames from https://www.eyeglasses.com/.

20: If you find something that doesn’t belong to you then return it, hand it in, don’t keep it as the next time you lose something, karma will be there to save you from losing your possessions. Trust me.

21: Remember the bigger picture – are the choices you are currently making going to have a positive impact on your future?
