I may be turning 24, but I look nothing like it. I look like I'm twelve, sixteen when I have my glasses on. Don't worry about me though, when everyone else is looking all old and wrinkly, I'll still be looking young and fabulous!

In celebration of my birthday, I wanted to write the second article in my Life Lessons series talking about all the things I've learned during these twenty-four years one earth. A few of these are lessons told to me by others, the majority are things that I learned on my own and wished someone told me about.
Though these lessons are for everyone, I'm specifically writing this for the pre-teens and teenagers out there. I know that you're dealing with a lot, and I want you to at least be better off than I was back then.
So here they are, ten lessons I've learned in twenty-four years.
LESSON 1: Enjoy Your Childhood
I loved being a child, and if I'm honest with myself, I wish I was still one. I enjoyed all the "childish" things in my life, like cartoons, coloring, little responsibilities (you don't realize their little until you're older though). I wasn't one of those teenagers that were eager to be a grown up and acted that way, but I was looking forward to it. Looking forward to getting my degrees (notice the plural), having money, being able to buy all those cool toys on the commercials that say "You must be eighteen or older to call". I know I wasn't the only one watching those commercials thinking "Man, I can't wait to be eighteen!". Now that I'm an adult, I realize that things aren't exactly what I expected.
