5x5 Things I've Learned

Some women never tell. And it's impolite to ask. But all of my high school and college friends know, my family knows, and anyone who is familiar with Internet 101 can figure it out. I just can't understand how it happened. Just yesterday I was 28. Here are some things I've learned over these many, many years:

1. A tan isn't worth it.
2. Mortgage debt is okay; credit card debt is not.
3. He leaves the seat up - big deal.
4. Parents try to do their best, but they're human.
5. The first cup of coffee in the morning is the best.
6. If there are eggs in the refrigerator, you can make dinner.
7. People who leave mean, nasty reviews of a book will never use their real name.
8. Stress can cause back pain.
9. I'm glad I can remember back to when airplanes weren't always full.
10. Not everyone speaks English.
11. Flossing matters.
12. Sunrises and sunsets are free.
13. A warm puppy will make you forget your bad day.
14. There's a lot more laundry in the summer.
15. Carbs are better eaten in the morning.
16. I couldn't write a book if I didn't read many books.
17. Your girlfriend will always be your girlfriend.
18. Old memories grow blurry, and that's okay.
19. After 50, trust me, something's gonna give out.
20. Stop at every lemonade stand possible and buy something.
21. Old people are not invisible.
22. Write down your family history now - your kids will care later.
23. Your body will adjust to warmer temperatures - eventually.
24. If you pay by credit card in a restaurant, make sure you tip in cash.
25. I have everything I need.
