21 THINGS I'VE LEARNT SINCE BEING 21, PART TWO (11-21)

Splitting this into two blog posts seemed like the best thing to do, because unlike last time my answers aren't just one sentence long. I've actually put some effort into writing two years down the line. What I thought was going to be a reasonably short blog post turned into a hefty bit of writing, I'm just rambling now and trying to justify my actions, so here's part two before this turns into another essay. 

ELLEVEN: 
Watching hours on end of YouTube is not a good way to spend your day. Living vicariously through beauty gurus and 20 year old American's who live in houses bigger than your old primary school is a depressing way to live.
TWELVE: 
Leading on nicely from the number eleven, comparing yourself to others is a toxic mindset. It's probably the most difficult thing not to do, but once you stop and realise that everyone if different. Everyone has different abilities, looks different, you'll have such a better mindset on life and become more accepting of yourself
THIRTEEN: 
I used to think my mum was mad when she'd tell me that she had already started Christmas shopping in June, but it's the way forward. I always complain in December when I've got no money and no time, but if I started my Christmas shopping in June when I actually have money I wouldn't have this problem. 
FOURTEEN: 
Leave your eyebrows alone!! Leave them to the professions, the sperm shape brows are not attractive. Step away from the tweezers.
FIFTHTEEN: 
Stand up for yourself, stop letting people walk all over you. I confess, I still am a total drip when it comes to letting people talk bad to me/walking all over me. But I'm getting better at putting my foot down and letting people know they're being out of order.
SIXTEEN: 
Bit contradictory to number eleven, but Netflix is also and investment. Yes it leads to binge watching television series, but Friends is on there, and so is Drag Race. Which if you remember I said was the best thing that's ever graced this Earth. I'd rather be sat in my room on hours on end listening to 'I'll be there for youuuu' play for the 50th time than have to listen to 'hello and welcome back to my channel'.
SEVENTEEN:
Skin care is so important, for gods sake wash your face. This one speaks for itself really. I can 100% justify splashing out the cash (when I have it) on skincare. Your skin is something you have to live with for life, treat it well, keep it clean and moisturise. 
EIGHTEEN:
It's okay to not really know what's going on with your life. I'm 21, I'm in my final year of university and do I have a clue what's going on with my life? NOPE. Not going to lie I am a little (a lot) stressed, but i'm giving myself a year after to work and learn to drive, then figure it out from there. I do have a five year plan but if that doesn't work then it's all good. 
NINETEEN:
I've mentioned the topic of men, but this is slightly different. Tinder is not okay. I've used the word toxic so much through out these posts but again, TINDER IS TOXIC. It is so shallow, it's based purely on the basis of looks, and a relationship cannot be based around looks, there needs to be some substance there because if not it'll dry up real quick.
TWENTY:
You'll never know what you've got until It's gone, sounds deep doesn't it? I'm actually talking about Vine. Who knew six second videos could provide such joy? Then they had to close it down, RIP Vine, always in my heart. 
TWENTY ONE:
Gonna end on a serious note, highlighter is the most amazing thing. There's nothing better than glowing like a glazed donut in the light, or even not in the light because you've applied so much you don't even need to turn your head to be able to see it. Spending $35 on an Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit was a choice, but a good choice. Such a good choice that I bought two of them.
