10 Things I Learned Freshman Year

1. You determine your own happiness

2. This is the saddest you'll feel, but you are never alone

3. If something doesn't feel right then change it. No one cares

4. Not all people are meant to stay in our lives

5. Nothing is that serious

6. Effective communication is SO important

7. Do not make yourself smaller for people. Be you and take up lots of space

8. To go with that, not everyone is rooting for you and that's fine

9. Always be kinder than you feel

10. And most importantly, you will be okay

Having this blog space to be vulnerable is probably something I will continue to do for myself. This year has been a crazy journey, but I'm beyond grateful for the experiences I've had along the way. 1 year down, 3 more to go :)
