15 Things I Learnt in 2015

With the end of a year, comes all the lessons we learnt throughout it and although you couldn’t possibly determine an entire year by 15 points written down on a blog post, it’s still important to look back at the good, the bad, the ugly, the funny and the ridiculous to see where you went wrong or right. Here’s 15, some serious, some not so serious, things I learnt this year.

1. Don’t let the assumption fairy hit you in the face. Sometimes, sometimes, you don’t actually know everything.
2. I do in actual fact, fancy Chris Hemsworth. Despite years of stating I would never fancy the Hemsworth brothers *gracefully glides off my high horse*.
3. Despite having nerves of spaghetti, I’m not bad in an emergency.
4. Books will always be my first love. Books can change the world.
5. It’s okay to ask for help. If you’re feeling vulnerable or sensitive, tell someone.
6. Things aren’t always what they seem. Learn the facts before you jump to conclusions.
7. Similarly, people aren’t always what they seem. Give someone a chance, they might surprise you.
8. I really would love to travel one day. Maybe not for years and maybe not to the furthest reaches of the Earth but somewhere.
9. The quote, ‘Things change and friends leave and life doesn’t stop for anybody’ is so very accurate and it’s a part of life we, unfortunately, can’t change.
10. Man Vs. Food will never not be amazing.
11. Exercise is important and there’s simply no excuse for sitting on your arse eating bacon sandwiches all day.
12. You matter. There is no shame in focusing on yourself and your own needs.
13. Nobody really knows what they’re doing. Everyone’s just winging it the best they know how and if they tell you otherwise, they’re probably lying.
14. There’s always room for new hobbies and passions and never hide anything that ignites your sparkle.
15. Nothing is as important as happiness and experiences.
