But difficulties, uncomfortable situations, and the struggles that we face, do more than give us grief and great stories – they temper the soul.

We all lust. And that is the tragic truth.

1. The notion that there is such a thing as “friendly competition” is not something you quite understand. And people actually expect you to believe it. LOL.

A healthy relationship with social media that doesn’t involve getting into Twitter fights, posting endless selfies, or stressing over how many likes something got in the past hour.

1. You legitimately think that you might have forgotten how to kiss.

You constantly get made fun of going to school “in cornfields.”

But the reality of society is that it sooner or later reminds you that even if you don’t see yourself as these labels, they exist nonetheless. And like it or not, you will be inflicted with them.

Expect her not to need you, and not to believe in needing much of anything at all.

How to say no. How to say no to friends who insist on doing things you can’t afford. How to say no to work-related things that prevent you from having a social life. And how to say no to yourself when you know that “no” in the long-term, will serve you best.

Some friendships just die.

19. “I could die in my apartment and I’m pretty sure nobody would know for 2 weeks.”

You don’t owe anybody, including you, the type of self that never fails or feels fragile.

They know the kind of love you need as soon as you walk in.

A moment of silence for the guys who don’t play games.

“Hey, you know I was just kidding right?”

Listen to me: They. Do. Not. Matter.

1. “Whatever. He wasn’t even that cute anyway. LOL, what was I even thinking?”

6. Taking forever to text back! Seriously, it takes 20 seconds to send a text message.
