22 Things I Learned Before Turning 22

January 15, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

Yesterday I turned 22 – say what?! Yeah, I officially feel old haha. But in all seriousness, I had such a great 21st year and I am so excited to see what is in store for 22. I already have so much to look forward to including wedding planning, completing my 5th half marathon, my bestie having a baby, and so much more!

Last year I shared 21 things I learned before turning 21. Today I’m going to be sharing 22 things I learned before turning 22! Fingers crossed there aren’t too many repeats. 

***

1. Everyone hits different milestones on their own timeline – and some people miss certain milestones entirely, and that’s okay.

2. No matter how hard you try, you cannot help people who do not want to be helped.

3. So many people are not worth fighting with.

4. Monistat does indeed help stimulate hair growth.

5. Don’t just buy items for your wardrobe. Invest in your wardrobe!

6. You do not like tequila… Or beer… Or most wines… Or anything that actually tastes like alcohol.

7. It’s okay to not enjoy most alcoholic beverages.

8. No, you don’t need to “acquire the taste” if you don’t want to.

9. There may always be someone “doing better” than you, but there’s always someone doing worse.

10. Getting your nails done isn’t a waste of money if it makes you feel more confident.

11. All good things take time.

12. The only way to achieve lasting success is hard work and determination.

13. Just eat at home. You’ll save money and feel better.

14. Be honest with your significant other, especially when it comes to finances.

15. Some people will never understand or see their personality flaws.

16. Always have a rainy day fund, even if it’s only a few hundred dollars.

17. Never miss a card payment. (Glad to say I never have!)

18. If you’re working hard and it shows in your bank account, treat yourself!

19. Your family and close friends may never understand/support some decisions you make.

20. Ghirardelli Brownie Mix is the best brownie mix in the world.

21. Read your Bible daily, even if it’s only for a few minutes.

22. Take care of your body.

Cheers to 22!

xoxo

My sweet Gracie girl💔 Decades of time would not My sweet Gracie girl💔 Decades of time would not have been enough with you. The day I adopted you my heart broke for you as I didn’t know your past, but I knew it wasn’t a good one. Over time you learned to trust humans again and I’m thankful that I got to give you a better life. Though I think you were taken from us too soon, I know you’re now in a place where pain doesn’t exist and you are once again in complete health. My heartache will never go away and I will never forget you Little Lady. I know you’re watching over us and we will meet again one day. Until then you will live in my heart.
Aulani has a ton of character meet & greets🤍 Es Aulani has a ton of character meet & greets🤍 Especially with characters that are hard to meet elsewhere - like ‘Olu Mel, ShellieMay, Duffy, Angel, etc✨ Plus, you can meet your favorite friends around the hotel or at special events like the character breakfast or the DVC dance party on Monday nights🎉 Some of these include Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Max, Chip & Dale, and of course Moana🌊 Be sure to check out the app each morning around 9am as that’s when they publish the meet and greets for the day - most characters don’t meet every day so I wouldn’t gamble with your chances if you want to see someone specific👍🏼 I recommend lining up only a few minutes before for most characters - but Duffy & friends arrive 10-15min early as the lines get long. Duffy, ShellieMay, and ‘Olu Mel don’t sign autographs - they’re still working on their penmanship😉  Also, I was so disappointed that Lilo wasn’t present - what’s up with that @disneyaulani ?🌺
