22 THINGS I LEARNED BEFORE TURNING 22

-
Heyyyyyy my loves! It feels so weird here.I've been away for the longest time and i apologise. Omg! a lot has happened since i last came on here but that's a conversation for another daylol. I turned 22! And as usual, here are 22 things i learned before turning 22. Enjoy!
  1. You can force things all you want but don’t stress over things you know ain’t meant to be because what is meant to be won’t require you stressing out so much.
  2. Exercise isn’t stress. It is great for all round cardiovascular health. It isn’t about losing weight. It’s about keeping fit. Your sedentary lifestyle can kill you.
  3. Listen to your parents. 
  4. Being Ignorant is lame. Learn more about the world and the people in it; recognize that there is more to life than the life we were all brought up living in.
  5. “Kill them with kindness” isn’t cheesy. It’s the best. when people act unkindly, it’s because they want to get a reaction out of you. If you don’t give them anything to feed off of, their plan dissolves.
  6. Save your money!
  7. Smile. No matter how unchangable your situation is. 
  8. Never settle.Be it love, friendship, or a job. Never settle for something that doesn’t make you happy.
  9. Life is really so short.
  10. Overthinking is exhausting, and it’s usually a complete waste of time.
  11. It’s okay to be different.
  12. There are always two sides to every story; NEVER listen to only one side and make a conclusion.
  13. Always keep your guard up, and expect anything from anyone, no matter how good/bad they are; people will always surprise you. That’s why you should never trust anyone but yourself.
  14. You will make it through whatever you are going through right now.
  15. The only person you can truly rely on is yourself because, at the end of the day, you are all you have.
  16. Change is good. It can be scary and overwhelming at times, but it’s how we grow and become better versions of ourselves. 
  17. Just because someone fancies you doesn’t mean you’re obligated to have feelings for them.
  18. People’s opinions matter, but it won’t always match yours.It’s important to understand that you will have differing opinions with people in your life, but that’s okay. 
  19. GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE AND TRY NEW THINGS. Become comfortable with being uncomfortable. You’ll grow so much as a person by trying new things that make you scared. 
  20. If you want to live a more meaningful life, you have to try and find the learning opportunity in every moment – whether good or bad.
  21. Always follow your gut.
  22. Practicing regular gratitude is a life changer. It keeps you grounded, brings you joy and puts things into perspective.

Post written by :Jayjay Folayan The doors open, you walk in with your friends. You’ve all got matching tees/jeans/shoes/hairstyles or are just coordinating colors. Everything is in slow mo. People gasp and gush as they look at you. That’s right, you’re with your squad. Being part of and maintaining a squad is not easy as it looks. Don’t get me wrong, I am an advocate of interacting with everyone and anyone, but sometimes you need to surround yourself with people that understand you and understand themselves. There are basically two types of people:        i.           SOCIAL : They are interactive, fun loving and free. They know how to make friends and how to keep them. They are very lively and make good friends because you’ll never want to leave them.      ii.           ANTI-SOCIAL : They are sometimes shy and timid. They don’t know...

Photo was gotten from his IG @kunlemyk (Post written by: Kunle Myk) Listening to the track “Plantashun boys” by the then Plantashun boys (BlackFace, 2face and Faze) off their Album ‘The Beginning: Body & Soul’ makes me realize how determination brings you success no matter the obstacles or challenges (2face is an example of this). Ever woken up one morning thinking of the personal assignments, group assignments and exams you have to study for and you just stay in bed contemplating your whole Life? Then you struggle to stay off bed, freshen up and get to the road to board a cab to school but you get struck by the sight of the large number of people at the junction who are struggling to get cab to school. I have friends who tell me when they get to the junction and they see people struggling for cabs, they go back home to sleep. Thinking of the whole stress one has to go through in school then some thoughts crosses one’s mind ‘Do I really need this Degree?”
