19. Write a list of 25 lessons I have learned in my life.

Because a rational perspective is always good, I'm gonna compose a list of 25 things I have learned in my life (no, learning to tie my shoes doesn't count). 

25 Things Sara Has Learned In Life

1. Appreciate your life everyday. You never know how much longer you'll be around.

2. It's okay to deviate from what everyone else does.

3. It's okay to open up to others, just be careful what you open up to them about.

4. Bottling things up is never fine. 

5. If you want something, go for it, unless it is a guy, then you let him do 90% of the work.

6. Going stag to prom isn't the end of the world.

7. Figure out what your friends are and what they aren't.

8. Your parents are two of the most important people in your life, even when you're having an episode of teen angst. Treasure them.

9. Don't put yourself in the middle of a problem, even if you mean well.

10. White lies are the worst lies you can make because you never regret them later.

11. There are always stranger people than you out there, even if you are the crazy cat lady.

12. Life is ironic.

13. Things always happen for a reason, even if they aren't obvious at time.

14. Growing up never seems like a gradual thing because one day it hits you in the face and you realize "OH CRAP I GREW UP".

15.  Follow your gut. It's the only thing that leads to a correct decision every time.

16a. You don't just share your heart with your significant other. You share it with your friends...

16b. ...not only this, but you share one half of your memories with everyone else.

17. It's the little moments that are the best--the time you chilled with your friends eating pizza way too late at night, getting lost in the department store, the smile from across the room.

18. When you are angry, the best thing to do is go off and be alone for a bit.

19. Your childhood doesn't end when you reach puberty. It ends the minute you realize that you have changed and that you can't go back to what you were.

20. You never fully appreciate what you had until it's many years later and you realized what you missed out on.

21.  You can only change to be a better person when you can learn to laugh at life.

22. Don't worry too much about the drama in your life now, because years from now you'll probably laugh at the ridiculous feeling of it all.

23. Everyone has something they can do. If you don't think this is true, it's probably because you haven't found your calling yet. 

24. Everyone makes a difference, no matter how trivial they think their actions might seem. 

25. You might have different religious beliefs from everyone else, but none of the titles really matter because you all believe in the same thing: the well-being of mankind.
