Here’s what they don’t tell you for when you graduate
- Hello small group of 2-3 friends, these are the people that will stick with you. Forget about your huge squad.
- Working full time is hard but it will slowly become normal, just like how your school routine was. Push through.
- Honestly, your life in high school, that reputation or whatever it was is diminished now. You are just a brand new member of the working society or you're a freshman again.
- Do not be afraid, yes you can stress and cry and slowly try to work things out, but you shouldn’t be afraid. Chances are everyone around you is doing the exact same thing to cope and you just don’t realize it.
- Live, Laugh, Love; although cliche, it is the simplest rule to life.
- Love, hard. We are so young and still learning, understand heartbreak, understand what you want before the time comes and you’re about to settle down or something. You need to know who you are.
- TRAVEL OMG. I don’t care if it means taking an hour road trip to a little town you’ve never seen before but get away from everything you know and explore. You have no clue what is out there and a book or a lecture will never justify it enough.
- Listen to people. Maybe don’t put your headphones in when a stranger seems to want to talk to you, although they may be weird they probably have something, some small sentence that doesn't seem like much but it will stick with you in some odd way. Trust me.
- You don’t have to do what others want. If you want to just work full time, do it. If you want to go to school longer, do it. If you want to get away and start fresh, do it. Hell if you want to get a van and travel and live in it, fucking do it.
- IT IS OKAY IF YOU DID NOT FINISH EVERYTHING YOU NEEDED TO DO IN ONE DAY, GO TO SLEEP YOU ARE PROBABLY TIRED AND FINISH IN THE MORNING
- However, with that said. Make sure you actually do it, don’t slack. Everything will pile up and then stress will make you it’s bitch.
- Forget about the people that were toxic in your life, you are old enough now to make these life changing decision. Dump the people you don’t like and begin your never ending life travels of absorbing the memories and moments of everyone you will meet.
- Although it is mentioned to be a ‘cruel world’ it is only that way if you let it be. It is completely your life now, just go and do what you need to do to be happy. Be spontaneous, be nervous, be wise, be naive, be kind. You have this life, make it one.
- TAKE BATHS, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY AND MAKE EVERYTHING FEEL BETTER
- Lastly, put a fucking lid on the pot when you’re boiling water. I don’t know why people don’t do this but if you want it to boil faster trap the fucking heat people
