Sage Advice For All 21 Year Olds

Today I am heading out to Vegas to celebrate this girl's 21st Birthday and my buddy from Jus Try It Justina! 



While we were at dinner this week we all read some pretty real advice for Taylor on her birthday. Things like "Keep your gas tank at least half full all the time.  You never know when you will have to make a run for it." - Your Dad

This sage advice got me thinking that there is a lot I have learned in my 21 + a few years and I have some amazing friends who also have some advice for those embarking on their 21st year of life.  So below is my and my great friends advice for turing 21.

“Always land on your feet “ - The cat

“Dating a man with a civil war beard has pros and cons. Pro, you might find some extra food in the beard when you kiss.  Con, finding extra food in someone else’s beard is disgusting.” – Your Dad's Beard

“If I bite you it is because I am hungry, or thirsty, or have to poop, or want you to play.  Learn the difference in each of these bites and you will have a happy life.” – Penny The Puppy

“Never trust a person that asks you if Abraham Lincoln was a homosexual atheist.” – Abraham Lincoln

“’Your mom!’ is a classic saying you should use often, never let the haters tell you otherwise.” – The inventor of the your momma joke

“Life is all about choices: have children or sleep in on Saturday morning?  You have been warned.” - Those with children

“Just do it!” – Nike

“Choosing an instagram filter will take more of your life than you ever thought possible.  Pick wisely.” – Walden filter

What advice would you add to this list I will be checking and sharing with the birthday girl though out the weekend.
