19 life lessons I learnt in 19 years

Assalamu'alaikum! I just watched Jenna Marble's new video titled '29 life lessons I learnt in 29 years'. It's self explanatory. Well, since I just turned 19, I thought of writing my own list of life lessons! I definitely learnt more than 19 lessons but ain't nobody got time to list them all out. So here is my 19 life lessons I learnt in 19 years. Bismillah!

1. Its okay if things don't go the way you had expected them to go. Everything happens for a reason.

2. Always bring a plastic bag with you wherever you go. You will never know when you might need it.

3. Never ever go through a family member's twitter account. Especially after a fight. Just don't.

4. Don't have regrets because whatever you went through/did has shaped you into who you are today. (So cliché but whatever.)

5. Whenever you're feeling down or going through some rough times, flip to a random page of the Quran and just start reading. Read the meanings of the verses too. It will help.

6. Another solution to your problems would be to get a pet! (Jenna agrees!)

7. Memorizing things is a lot easier if you know what type of learner you are. (eg: audio, visual, tactile etc)

8. NEVER hurt your mother! Nothing will go right if your mother is upset because of you.

9. You will lose friends along the way and it's fine because you don't need them.

10. I'm still working on this but... it's always good to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. (Just in case you're in a camp and someone tells you to state one strength and one weakness of yours in front of a group, you won't end up speechless and crying. Yea...)

11. You will never be fully prepared for something no matter how much you prepare for it. I hope I made sense....

12. Always make sure the toilet door is locked when you're inside!

13. Telling kids not to do / say something will definitely make them want to do / say it even more.

//This is harder than I thought! I can't think of anything right now, omg...//

14. This is easier said than done but you should always try to laugh or at least smile when you're at the 'scary' parts of a horror movie. That way, you wouldn't find it that scary anymore. :D

15. NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER (So damn cliché but it's seriously a life lesson that I've learnt.)

16. Don't get angry over things you don't have control over. It's pointless.

17. Finish your antibiotics when you're told to do so!

18. Only go shopping during the great Singapore sale season.

19. It's okay if you don't have friends. You have God and (Alhamdulillah) your family and they're all you will ever need.

I'm finally done! I took an hour to type this. It was tough. Like, you know you have learnt a lot in your life but it's hard to list them when you start thinking about it. But I guess I had fun?? I just hope I will have one more lesson to add to this by the time I turn 20. At least one! Lol that's all for now, Allah Hafiz!
