1. Disney movies are lies. (Fabulous, but all lies).
2. Depend on yourself and maintain a life outside of your relationship.
3. Background check that guy before you go on a date with him. It’s not paranoia, it’s smart.
4. Please don’t apply #YOLO to your love/sex life. It doesn’t work that way.
5. I know Yahoo! answers seems really reliable, but it will not solve your relationship problems.
6. Everyone is superficial and judgmental about looks. Yes, you too.
7. Timing dictates your love life, and it sucks.
8. Heartbreak does heal.
9. Look at your significant other’s family if you want to know what he or she is like. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
10. Lying always comes back to bite you in the butt.
11. The past always appears better than it was and the future always appears more unresolved than it actually will be. That’s why it’s best to focus on the present.
12. Cherish your body. You only have one.
13. Trust your gut.
14. Figure out what your priorities in life are, and it’ll make the search for love a lot easier.
15. It’s OK to say no.
16. You only accept the love you think you deserve.
17. Don’t change yourself for anyone. Chances are it won’t work out, and when it doesn’t, you’ll be left with a shaky sense of identity.
18. You’re not 30 yet, so stop panicking.
19. Don’t post really obvious Facebook statuses about your ex. That’s something you should have learned in your teens.
20. Be hopeful. Better things lie ahead.
