So I’m now 21!!! AHHH!!! I’m not old!!! AHHH!

6. Your bed is actually the best place in the World; it’s comfortable, warm, and you get to sleep in it!

15. Netflix will be your best friend on many an evening.

19. Through everything you will have that one best friend who will be there for you through whatever.
20. Marriage isn’t for forever. People break up. And it’s ok.
