This is not an original idea in the slightest, but it’s one I wanted to do before I turn 20.

So here are 19 things I learned in 19 years (as usual, the link to my video is down below for more in depth discussion): 

1. Take responsibility for your actions.
2. Floss your teeth, you dirty hoe.
3. Don’t be the person that’s known as the “flakey” one, or the one who’s always late.
4. Your parents are right. Sometimes.
5. Also, your parents are just people.
6. If you are really active, and have a lot of injuries because you are active, stopping the activity will not make the injuries go away. It’ll actually just make them worse.
7. If you get the chance to try something new, do it.
8. Don’t be so worried about annoying people when it comes to photography.
9. Boys are just people.
10. Going vegan isn’t actually that hard.
11. Consistency is key.
12. Money is just money.
13. It’s okay to say “I don’t know.”
14. If you really want to do something, the only person stopping you is you.
15. Be nice to your siblings. Odds are, they’ll be the one to poison you.
16. It never hurts to be nice to people.
17. It also never hurts to be the person that is there for other people.
18. Save some stuff.
19. The Beauty Philosophy: If thine always looketh ragged, when thoust try, hot thine will look.

Somehow I made it to nineteen. Thanks for sticking with me.
