Things I've Learned...continued.

So for my very first blog I made a list of things that I have learned in life. It turns out that I have learned more than I thought, which is probably a good thing. If I had only learned 30 things in 22 years of life...well, that would be kind of sad, don't you agree? So I have decided to expand/add to my list of life lessons (is 22 years a life? who knows).

I've learned that...

1) ice cream can't cure everything...but it sure does taste good.

2) sunscreen is my soulmate.

3) I am extremely impulsive and indulgent...almost to the point of recklessness.

4) to most people you are replaceable...even disposable, but to a precious few you are irreplaceable.

5) I inherited my lack of patience from my mother.

6) I hate it when someone says they 'know me'...and they really couldn't have a clue.

7) some people are just better off as friends.

8) you can never rely on beauty...it will fade.

9) you can't expect someone to know you if you don't know yourself.

10) our society is too focused on what's on the outside.

11) I am not as obsessed with shopping as everyone thinks.

12) I hate working. Period. End of story.

13) if someone tells me to do something...I will refuse to do it. But if I'm left alone, I will do it without being told. For example, the more someone complains about me not calling them...the more I refuse to call.

14) my intuition is usually right.

15) I don't regret many things that I've done, but I regret things that I didn't do or say.

16) I use money as a way of feeling secure.

17) living with a friend can ruin a friendship.

18) most days I feel like the statue. (you know...the whole 'some days you're the statue, some days you're the pigeon' thing)

19) 90% of my first impressions are wrong. And I'm glad.

20) I have ridiculously high expectations of myself.

21) if I can't get it right on the first try I will usually give up. That is a bad thing.

22) it is WAY too easy to break someone's heart...or have yours broken.

23) I am extremely picky about the way I eat my food and the order in which I do things. My french fries must be paired by size, and if they don't have another one similar in size than I will only eat one at a time. I am also strongly against 'mixing' food...I will eat all my veggies, and only when I am done one thing will I start eating the next. I must do things in the shower, at work and while studying in a specific order or I get flustered and have to start over. I am weird like that.

24) I am ridiculously stubborn and proud. Good luck getting me to admit that I was wrong.

25) I am a worrier. I worry about everything and everyone at all times. It is not a productive hobby.

26) I have almost no willpower when it comes to dieting and being healthy. Case in point, I have eaten fast food everyday for the past eight days.

27) I am way too obsessed with Harry Potter.

28) deep down I love romance. But I pretend not too. Bring me flowers and I may just swoon.

29) I am a girly-girl. Yes, I am afraid of spiders and centipedes, I like to shop and wear make-up and have sleepovers with my friends. Is there REALLY anything wrong with that?

30) some girls will do anything to get you back. It is really kind of sad.
