I had my birthday yesterday, I am seventeen now. It's quite surreal how I was 7 years old 10 flipping years ago. I couldn't say that I'm the most experienced seventeen-year old out there, but just like everybody, I have come across multiple morals on my road to becoming 17. I wrote down a list to compile things I'd like to share, so here are seventeen things I've learned in my seventeen years on this planet.
- Do not forget to set a self-care day.
- Flaunt what God has given you.
- Never take time with loved ones for granted.
- False lashes are essential for loved ones for granted.
- Do NOT frost cupcakes when they're warm.
- Good work requires a handful of hustle.
- Friends will come and go and it's okay.
- Natural lighting is key!
- You are your own style, don't fit into Pinterest boards.
- Being a leader is difficult and stressful, but so worth it.
- When it comes to painting your walls, choose white/neutral colours to allow room for colorful accents.
- Take inspiration and aspire to be inspiration.
- Everybody's life works in their own time clock, don't compare your pace with others.
- To-do lists are a must to stay organized.
- But no matter how much you try to stay organized, creative bursts of energy come from cluttered desks.
- Do not cram all projects in one night and don't pair 2 cups of coffee with it to avoid tears and palpitations.
- Lastly, Don't stop until you're proud of what you've become.
