So I saw this list on Pinterest and thought it was neat. Some it took much MUCH later to learn and I don't agree with all of it so I substituted my own thoughts here and there. Enjoy!
1. Apartment living robs you. Renting a small house with the girls is the way to go. Disagree. I could care less if I ever own another piece of property. Although it is nice to do things you love to it, you can get away with that in rented spaces as long as you don't go overboard. You just have to weigh how much you want to have things like you want them against how much you want to improve someone else's property. But renting a house (or a townhouse like I'm in now and I have done both) has some major drawbacks. Number one--maintenance. Apartments have maintenance 24/7. Houses do not. And if you get a bad landlord you can be majorly inconvenienced like I found out last year. Number two--yardwork! Enough said. And number three--no pool!
2. Wine > vodka. Agree.
3. Leggings = life made. No comment
4. Roommates are great to try recipes out on. Eh...
5. Disney movies will never get old. Agree
6. Cheaters are not worth it. Okay. Habitual cheaters, maybe. But I know that people make mistakes. They can overcome and change if they are willing.
7. Go the speed limit. Tickets are the worst. Bite me. I don't have time.
8. Sometimes all you need is ice-cream or pizza. Agree
9. Your friends were there for you before the boyfriend. Agree, but once the boyfriend becomes your husband, HE is your priority, not your friends.
10. Tell your family you love them as much as possible. Agree, especially your children
11. Drinking & driving is not worth it. Agree, although I did not learn that until I was 41
12. Mexican hole-in-the-wall restaurants have the best margaritas. Agree and amen!
13. You’ll fail a couple of times. It’s okay, I promise. Yes it is.
14. If you need help with money, ask, don’t continue to struggle. Yeah but don't make it a habit either or people will lose respect for you.
15. Not everyone is going to like you. Nope, they sure won't.
16. Men’s razors work better. Nah, you just gotta find the right one
17. Vote, but know exactly what you’re voting for. I hate politics. Too often people expect you to tie your religious beliefs into it and it should not HAVE to be that way. I believe gay married couples should be able to defend their marijuana plants with guns. There. That's MY politics. But it's ALL sin, as we are ALL sinners and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) And there isn't a candidate out there that feels that same way. So I accept what comes and patiently wait for Christ's return!
18. When you need guidance, read your Bible. Amen, amen and amen!
19. If you think a dress is too short, it is. Always.
20. Bubble baths aren’t just for toddlers. Amen
21. Nanny or babysit regularly, it’s great practice. Well, I had my kids young so now I only babysit when I start to regret not having more children! I enjoy little kids, I really do. But I'm glad mine are grown/almost grown!
22. You can never have too many shoes. I am only just now getting into the shoe thing...I will say this: You can never have too many flip flops!
23. Stand up for your beliefs. They’re not stupid. Well, some people's beliefs DO NOT make any sense, that's for sure. But I guess that's okay.
24. Sometimes you just need to cry. Absolutely
25. Watch the news, read a blog, learn about the world. Sometimes ignorance is bliss
26. Traveling is the best money you can spend. Amen
27. Drink at least 2 glasses of water before going to bed if you were drinking. See, I just learned something new. But I don't drink much anymore.
28. Love is patient. Love is kind. Yes. And sometimes it's batspit crazy!
29. Being a bridesmaid is expensive. Save. Just say no.
30. Exercise. Your health is everything. I'm still trying to get into the habit of this.
31. If he cares, he’ll call. Yes. And if you do drink, get someone to take your phone away from you!

33. Nude heels go with everything. Okay, see I'm still learning the shoe thing
34. Wait to get a dog, they’re a lot of work. But they are VERY worth it!
35. Wait to have kids. Oops! lol
36. Use sunscreen. Sunspots and wrinkly skin isn’t worth a temporary tan. No, but tan fat does look better than white fat. All things in moderation.
37. Moisturize! Absolutely
38. Sleepytime tea before bed… it’s surprisingly nice and relaxing. Um, no. Benadryl, clonopin, ambien...they even TASTE better than crappy tea!

47. Never lose touch with your siblings and cousins. Especially siblings
48. Remember to call mom, but don’t forget to call dad. Yes, even when they won't answer
49. Do something for others. Tithe, volunteer, give a gift to someone in need…And do it continuously
50. Being single isn’t the worst thing in the world. Word!
51. Guys HATE high-waisted jean shorts. um, okay, who wears those? Even this fat, old lady doesn't wear granny shorts!
52. My mom was right… about everything. And always will be
53. Whattaburger’s honey butter chicken biscuits are the best food after a night of drinking. Nah, I'm a waffle house gal! But then again, I don't drink much anymore so maybe I should try some whattaburger!
54. Treat others how you’d like to be treated. The Golden Rule
