This could be the reason.

Today is my twenty-fifth birthday. Here is what I learned from the past year.  In list form.  Because I’m extremely hungover.

1. Just because you are the loudest person in the room, doesn’t mean you deserve to be heard.
2. Never pay full price for a baseball game ticket.  Wait a couple innings and scalp them for half price.
3. Family is forever.   Suck it up, confront your problems, and get over it.
4. Walking in heels should be an olympic sport.
5. It’s better to have a small group of close friends, than a large group of acquaintances.
6. People like to get married when you’re poor.
7. If you sleep with someone the first time, you probably won’t get called back.
8. Branch out and make new friends.  Just don’t forget about your old ones.
9. Travel whenever you can.  Don’t be that person that regrets doing something because you didn’t want to spend the money.
10. Grocery shopping doesn’t mean going to the CVS snack aisle.
11. Find something you love, and then find time to do it on a consistent basis.
12. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do something.
13. Unless its referring to parking your car in a tow away zone. Then you should listen to that.
14. Boys have feelings too, whether they admit it or not.
15. People aren’t going to be interested in your life unless you show an interest in theirs.
16. Acting like a jackass is acceptable if you’re wearing an oversized, floppy hat.  #Regal.
17. Don’t make a kissy duck face at a camera unless that camera is actually a live human being that you plan on kissing.
18. Learn to be alone. Understanding your personal needs will only better every other aspect in your life.
19. Don’t be afraid to talk about your feelings.  Unless you’re afraid to talk about your feelings, then writing a strongly worded letter is a great secondary option.
20. Landing your dream job doesn’t happen on the first try.
21. Unless your dream job is to be unemployed, in which case, you’re in luck.
22. Effective communication is a lost art.  People say what they don’t mean and mean what they don’t say.
23. Rallying after day drinking is a lot harder once you have graduated college.
24. Wine is acceptable to drink at all hours of the day.  Breakfast wine is badass and definitely not an early sign of alcoholism.
25. Trust your instincts.  There’s a reason why you feel conflicted about eating street meat at 2am.
