27 things I have learned in 27 years

Hi there!
 

 

 

Tuning in today to give you the obligatory/cliche birthday post. What is even more fun about birthdays? Coming into work to find out the company website you manage has been hacked by Islamic terrorist hackers. Real cool world, real cool.
 

Regardless, it is my birthday and I'm going to make the best of it. Cross your fingers for me and my hosting service - may we be please be in the clear by the end of the day.

 

 

Happy belated birthday to my beautiful grandmother. I miss you, always.

 

It's a little strange for me to say I have been alive for 27 years. TWENTY SEVEN. That number even 5 or 6 years ago would have been unfathomable.

 

I  will say though, that the mid-late 20's provides you a lot of insight into yourself, and into life.

So here are 27 things I have learned in my 27 glorious years:

 

1. Laughing is the best medicine
2. A night well spent can be on your own couch
3. A Mani-Pedi is always worth the money (treat yo' self!)
4. Drink good beer (or add orange juice to the cheap stuff)
5. My dog is the best investment I ever made
6. It's ok to put yourself first
7. Saving money is hard
8. Treasure the people who treasure you, don't waste time on those who don't
9. Fresh cut flowers make everything better
10. It's human to have cheat days (or weeks)
11. Hitting snooze will always be ok
12. The DVR is possibly the best invention of all time
13. Have a hobby (or 2 or 3) and do it often
14. Working out actually does make you feel better
15. Having a car payment sucks
16. Travel as often as you can
17. Sometimes a girls night is necessary
18. Target trips need to include popcorn
19. There's no such thing as too many shoes/swimsuits/purses
20. It's ok to flaunt a good hair day
21. You don't have to shower every day (don't think I'm gross please)
22. Hanging with your parents is not un-cool, it's awesome
23. Life is short, buy the shoes
24. When in doubt call, don't text
25. Caffeine is a necessary evil
26. There's not a lot better than live music/concerts (especially outdoors)
27. You control your own happiness

Do you have a life lesson I need to add? I feel like my list could be stronger..

Happy Monday lovers!
