8 Things I've Learned This Year...

{01}When you're going through hard and emotional times, it's good to keep friends close by.

{02}I might want to teach high school English instead of third grade.

{03}If your friend says she's allergic to caffeine, but buys an energy drink, then chugs the whole thing, watch out: EMOTIONS RUN WILD!!!!!

{04}If you're nervous about something, do it anyway. Chances are, it'll actually be fun!

{05}Pictures really are worth a thousand words.

{06}If you don't want to go see a movie, but your family is begging you to, you should go. Chances are you'll love the movie.

{07} Even if you start off with 'cleaning' your room, you'll probably just end up with an even bigger mess because you got so caught up with 'organizing' and 'rearranging' your room.

{08}Treasure your family. Soak up everything they say and do. Those memories will last forever, and in the future become super important
