16 Things I learned In 2015

I'm sixteen.

I turned sixteen this year and I feel as thought this 'life advice' thing I might actually do for the many years to come. It's basically, '16 Life Tips' as I am sixteen and it would only be fitting to have sixteen things to mention for this year. I may do this blog post at the end of each year, just to summarise everything tangible and intangible I've learnt over the year. 

This is for all my friends that may need this as well! I wish everyone a wonderful and hopefully happy 2016.

1. When you have the chance, hold a baby.

2. Go find new music, whether that means attending more music festivals/concerts and make playlists for the different moods you're in or for different occasions. Playlists are just like your photo albums, they hold precious memories. 

3. Get out of all your toxic relationships/friendships, even though it may hurt sometimes it's necessary. I cannot stress this one enough, so I'm making a separate blog post on this one. 

4. Boys can wait. Focus on yourself because you're the sunflower.

5. Tell the people in your life that you're close to that you love them regularly. You never know when they leave. 

6. If you're ever going to get into an argument or in a fight, do it face to face and not on the internet. You'll find you won't say half the things you said to them online when your face to face. 

7. ALWAYS, take your makeup off before you go to bed. AND WASH YOUR FACE AFTERWARDS! Otherwise it will feel like you have a charcoal mask of makeup of your face.

8. If he keeps looking at you....he definitely thinks you're hot so chill out before you make a fool of yourself.

9. Don't always be on your phone taking pictures of moments, rather try and cherish your memories with your family and friends by living in that moment with them and not your phone.

10. Get a polaroid for the banter and a proper camera for the quality banter.

11. You're IB/SAT/GCSE/GPA/any other standardised testing score does not define you and the faster you realise it the better you will do and further you will achieve. If you try your best and put the effort it, I guarantee you will feel good as you will do well. If not, work slowly and understand what you're doing wrong and focus on those things.

12. Respect everyones opinions even though you may disagree with them. (Unless it's a horrible opinion then just get the hell out of there!)

13. Don't go on a no carb no sugar diet.

14. Don't ever not brush your teeth because you're too lazy or hungover.

15. If you want those Adidas Originals, work for it and get those Originals!

16. You is smart. You is kind. You is important.
