“Sex should be pleasurable! If you’re not enjoying it most of the time, then find a guy who’s more sensitive and caring to sleep with.” -Jessica
“It would have been really helpful if someone explained the consequences of having student loans more clearly and how it wasn’t ‘free money’ and stuff, so that over the years I would have avoided paying so much interest. (Maybe someone did, but I don’t think I was interested at the time.)” — Erin
“Be extremely careful who you allow to take nude photos of you.” — Anonymous
“Once you start working post-graduation, you have 40 more years of it coming, so do not get down on yourself if things don’t happen instantly. — Kate
“That you probably won’t have the American Dream by 25 unless your parents arrange a marriage for you and pass down their uber-successful business.” — Annika
“Nothing outside of yourself will ultimately make you happy. That all happiness is generated from within and will not come to you through, guys, career, kids, or any life circumstances.” — Ami
“It gets way harder to meet new people post-college, so explore and talk to all the new people you can.” — Kate
“Waiting around for an immature or inconsiderate guy to grow up is just not worth your time. There really are PLENTY of fish in the sea, especially when you’re 18.” — Jessica
“You really can get pregnant if you don’t use protection even if you’re young, in love and think the world revolves around your happiness.” — Anonymous
Is there anything you know now that you wish you knew when you were 18?

It would have been great to know that all ideals like love, friendship, loyalty (to name just a few) leave you drained when destined for the wrong people who, no matter what we do, won’t change, but are like a black hole: it won’t fill up, no matter what you throw in it, no matter how much you try.
Tolerance is a virtue, explanations can be enlightening but not all acts are justified and not everyone has to be around forever in your life no matter what. I didn’t know it at 18 and I learned the hard way as I grew up. Knowing would have saved me lots of guilt, wasted feelings and pain.
If I only I knew from the beginning that God was love and that all I neede to make me happy in life was to know Him on a deeper level and love myself for who I was and all my imperfections, then maybe I would not have had to experience some of the things that I experienced, however I am now better because I can look back and see that I dond’t know then what I know now and that I have grown to be wiser, stronger and better and still love myself with all those imprefections….also I got to learn what real love is in family friends and a man which is my husband.
God Bless
