16 Things You Should Know Before Turning 18

1. Appreciate your dad, you don't know what will happen.

2. If you don't want to wear makeup, don't. You're young and beautiful. Society can go fuck their self.

3. Just because you don't look like that girl in the magazine doesn't mean you're not beautiful.

4. Don't fall under the pressure of pleasing people. Please yourself and live for you.

5. Love who you want.

6. Treat yourself.

7. Cancel your plans sometimes, close your door, turn off your phone, and play some John Mayer.

8. It's okay to be 18 and still love Disney movies.

9. Do not compromise who you are to impress someone else.

10. Your mom will probably cry a lot during the next few years. Let her. Hug her. Cry with her. She just wants you happy at the end of the day. You're growing up, and life's exciting, but you have to remember that you're her baby.

11. It will all be okay at the end of the day. Life has a funny way of working out.

12. Life literally never goes as planned. Don't waste your time fretting over the future. Faith and destiny work hand in hand to make sure life keeps you on your toes.

13. Karma is a real and powerful thing.

14. You can never go wrong with pizza.

15. Don't wish your years away. I know you're at that age where you're responsible for your choices, but aren't really considered an adult but you'll want these years back. Being young is the most fantastic, exciting adventure you will ever endure. And when you get older, you'll wish for these years back, even all the bad days that came along with it. So enjoy your youth because you will never be younger than you are right this second.

16. You're destined for big things, now get to it.
