Summer Life Lessons

So. As many of you know: it has been a rough summer. But I do believe that you can pull good from the bad, and that is what I am trying to accomplish here. So in no particular order, here are the things that I learned this summer.

#1 Right now, it is much more important to find your bridesmaids than your groom.

#2 Love yourself. If you can't, no one else will. Be happy with the body God gave you, and treat it right.

#3 Speaking of the guy, God is a pretty neat fellow. Go to church.

#4 You can only control yourself. You can't make anybody do anything. No one is going to love you because you want them to.

#5 Buy clothes that fit. Stop trying to squeeze yourself into size 0 jeans from Freshman year or size 2 jeans from junior year.

#6 Children are fabulous. They don't have a care in the world. Teaching private and public swim lessons makes me really happy. Anyway, if you know anyone that needs some, hook me up :)

#7 Family should be really important to you. When everyone else dips out, your family will stand beside you.

#8 "Put on your Sunday clothes when you feel down and out." -Hello Dolly! (But seriously: dressing up can transform your mood.) Barbra Streisand is a genius. Watch Funny Girl and Hello Dolly! sometime

#9 . Men are all the same. Men are ass holes. But. On the other hand, they are all teddy bears, and each one has the ability to love.

#10 Don't settle for a man that doesn't treat you right. Your significant other should make you feel good about yourself. They should like you the way you are. Don't put up with any bull shit. You don't deserve it.

Well There are 10 things that I have learned this summer. Enjoy!
