20 Rules A Woman Should Live By

While browsing through the internet, I stumbled upon an interesting read, "Girls Guide To BETA." I thought I'd share their, "20 Rules A Woman Should Live By" segment with you guys. I've added my own 'first thing that popped up' comments though, to make it more personal, more relatable.
Here goes...

1. Men are an amazing part of life, but they are in no way the be all and end all of life. (Amen to that, just need to keep reminding myself of it)

2. It's okay to admit that you're young, fab and NOT broke. Celebrate your success.

3. Don't waste time crying over little boys who talk too much. Someday you will find the one and then all that happens in-between will just seem like bullshit. (Some will be hot and unforgettable bullshit, but nonetheless bullshit.)

4. It's okay to be 22 or even 32 or 42 and not know what you want to be when you grow up. (I will probably be one of those people)

5. Many people will try to judge your spending and life style habits, don't let it get to you. It's your life, your money and no one else's business. (Mxm not in this Windhoek of ours.)

6. If you like being single, it's okay to admit that. Maybe you like being alone. (A friend of mine comes to mind.) Maybe you like just dating and hooking up. Guys like these things and the world has no problem with it.

7. In business it's likely that men twice your age with half your brain capacity will be making triple the money that you do. Work hard anyway, never give up, you are the brain and voice of tomorrow.

8. Your parents already lived a bulk of their life. It's time to start living yours. It is possible to both respect them and be happy. Sometimes they may get mad at your choices, make those choices anyway, they love you and will eventually come around. (Ja, after kicking you out of their house.)

9. It's okay to order extra cheese (on everything) and not go to the gym after.

10. No matter how old you are by number, never forget what it feels like to be young and alive.

11. People are always going to talk, so just do your thing. You may as well give them something to talk about. (Amen!)

12. Having one too many shots with your girlfriends on a Saturday night doesn't make you an alcoholic, it just means you're having a good time. Anyone who tells you other wise is jealous. You work hard all week and deserve time to get your party on.

13. Don't keep company with those who constantly compare themselves to you (or others). Keep company with those who love you for you and enhance your life.

14. If you can't find your prince, there is nothing wrong with enjoying kissing all the wrong frogs. (I am so going to get my kissing on.)

15. Live your life for you: not your parents, not a man, not your friends. It is the only way you will ever truly be happy.

16. You're never too old to learn something new. (True.)

17. In your life you will wind up with a select few friends who are more like your soul mates. Cherish them, they'll be the ones around when the party is over. (Too help clean up.)

18. You're going to make mistakes: the wrong career, the wrong major, the wrong boyfriend. Everything happens for a reason- You'll learn something, recover and come back better than ever. (Like Pow, in your face!) 

19. Live each day with no regrets. Don't fret over the past, even the bad parts shape us for the future.

20. Share this list with other young women you love. (Sommer doing it right now.)
