I feel like in my almost 27 years I have learned a lot…
Some things took me a LONG time to learn and I had to learn them over and over and over
Here are some of the random things Ive learned….
1. If someone doesnt want to be with you…you cant convince them otherwise and vise versa: When someone is done…they are done. If someone tells you they love you and you dont love them…they cant convince you otherwise. Its just a fact.
2. Reality TV makes you smarter: Who wants to be a millionaire and are you smarter than a 5th grader have taught me a lot…so has the bachelor…for instance I will never be one of 25 women 🙂
3. Wine is fine…but liquor is quicker. I mean if you want to get slammered really fast…drink yourself a few glasses of whiskey…it gets the job done.
4. Mommy knows best: How many times have you said to yourself… “yeah my mom was right.” If only we listened the first time…
5. If he does it once…he’ll do it again: Cheating, commitment issues, these are not one time things. These things dont change. If he cheats…get out now! If he cant commit…he wont ever.
6. If you have 2 friends in life you can REALLY REALLY count on you’re lucky: my mom said this to me in 3rd grade and it still rings true. I know I have a few more than 2 people I can really count on. But I know that there are some people in a crisis I can count on no matter what. And yes some of those people are reading this post right now 🙂
7. If you havent worn it in a year…you’ll never wear it: Donate it, toss it, sell it whatever but if its been hanging in your closet since boy bands were cool…you can let it go.
8. Boys come and go but your girlfriends dont…err shouldnt: Dont be one of those girls who shuts your friends out or drops them when a guy calls or you get married or whatever. Because marriages dont always last forever, neither do relationships, or flings but your girlfriends are always there to pick you up and set you on your feet again…trust me…I know!
I have more but I think I will save them for a part 2 🙂
Enjoy!
WINNING!
Happy St Patricks Day to you too! Yes I am in green today!
I agree with a lot of these things.
I love your reality one – “I’ll never be one of 25!” Ha!
Definitely true about listening to your mama (most of the time) and she was right about true friends. They are definitely hard to come by!
haha I will NEVER be one of the 25 girls either hahahah! You BET I’m wearing GREEN today 🙂 woohoooo! Love all your ‘advice’ tips hun! I always listen to my mom (even if I don’t want to at times) she always tends to be right..how does she DO that?! 😉 Have a great St. Pattys day sweetie! xo

Wise words!
I’m wearing my green bcbg glasses (with a black and white outfit) but that’s my only tribute to st pattys day at least for the work portion of this day. : ]
LOVE the last 3! totally agree with all of them!!
cute post!!! I TOTALLY agree with them 🙂
What a wonderful list!!
The first one about loving someone is SO true!!!
And yes, liquor is quicker, but this girl LOOOVES her wine!!!
Have a good St. Patty’s Day!
OK love this and they are SO true!
Also I am loving WINNING!
Also how did I not realize I posted the same shirt… I read that post and had no idea!
I’ll take this as my hint to clean out my cloest. 😉
<3 you
Those are great lessons!
I loved that you closed with WINNING! I love it! And there are so many time that I realize my mom was right. Happy St. Patty’s Day!
Liquor is quicker haha! So true…
The last part about not shutting out your girlfriends is so true! It’s so hard now that I am married to keep in touch with my girls, life just gets in the way but I am trying hard!
You are such a wise little lady! Happy st pattys day!
Girl. you are on a roll lately. Agree with all of those!!!! SO TRUE!
Happy St Patrick’s Day… I’m not wearing green yet (I’m at work!), but my nails are pretty green 🙂
And you’re right… those are all SUCH good life lessons. My mom has alwayyyss been right about things, especially the friends one. I have 2 and I do feel lucky because at one point I had none.
XoXo
So true – especially number 6! I feel more lucky because of my friendships than probably any other aspect of my life!
Wow, what a great list. It’s some good advice girl! I completely agree with the entire list.
Love all of these, they’re all so true!
Great post and oh so true! 🙂
you are so right about not being able to make someone love you or you love them. somethings just aren’t meant to be.
and yep, most of the time “Mama knows best!”
Great advice! And so, so true!
I love the advice! Happy St Patricks Day!
What a fun post. I have learned that my mom and dad taught me so much that I ended up using to this day.
I haven’t thought of reality TV like that—I wondered what I’ve learned from all the hours clocked in for Real Housewives? 🙂
I have definitely learned that my mom knows best. I HATE to admit it sometimes, but she’s normally right. Dang it!!
Love your list, except have to disagree about reality TV making us smarter.. at least not the kind I see on.. RHW, etc. 🙂
Great advice! All of it is so, so true.
I love this! And I am SO totally in agreement with everything you said! You are so wise beyond your years!
So true Neely! Love the list!!!
Laughed out loud at #3!
I love #2 and #7! Well, and you of course! GET BETTER!!
I love this post! And I love your blog, super fun!
