Hs, college, reflection and deep thoughts : Turkey day 2015

As my Thanksgiving with my Vigeant family comes to a close....Things I have learned since college and hs:
Nothing beats hanging out with family and friends. Anyone you tells you otherwise, maybe could use a friend or some fam love. 

Getting drunk all the time isn't as cool as you think; plus if you aren't a lightweight, it can also be very expensive and very embarassing. 

Those that end up mattering are those who stick by your side at the end of the day when life throws you a strong curveball. 

If your parents so called, "bust your chops for some bad choices" ground you, lecture you, and tell you how it is; drop the act, they care and the sooner you figure it out, the more you learn.

Sleep is heaven and incredibly great. Take it while it is there, later it will be interrupted, harder to make time for, and maybe nonexistent if not careful.

You aren't all you can be in your 20's because you still have so much to learn and isn't that remarkable in it itself; teach me more! 

Get into trouble. Yes, you read that correctly. I mean maybe not go full boar everything, but quite enough. This helps mold you into the person you will later become; the choice however is yours on whether that is good or bad.

Tabloids, zodiacs, astrology, newspapers, and magazines exist purely because we accept what the media shows to us which is not reality. 

Siblings call you out on your bullshit when you are too stubborn to know the difference.


Actions speak louder than words. I notice I talk quite a bit and as much as I love that, I miss so much ehen I do it. If I listen, I catch even more especially body language when in fact I do let someone else talk.

Interrupting is common in big families, especially mine. Your point may seem important to you, but maybe it isn't to everyone else. 

A few cheap pairs of sunglasses lasts longer than one that costs more than 15$. 

Self recharging is healthy. No one likes a sour apple, an exhausted grizzly bear, or an antsy shit disturber and instigator. Take time off and away, solo ono, return and you will be much happier with yourself and so will the others around you!

Overanalyzing can be key for attention to detail, but if it hinders you from every day life, causes more stress than you need, LET IT GO. (Practice what you preach eh Moxie)

Divulging details to your friends is a fun way to connect, but be sure it is what you want others to know in case a secret or story gets leaked. 

We all make mistakes, we all fight, deal with difficult people and situations, and we all want to be loved and supported in some way and to grow just like the next guy.

Thanks to my parents for organizing such a fun, crazy, laughter-filled, eventful, sunshine, cozy week down in Newport Beach. Thanks to Alyssas family for the Thanksgiving food and evening we will all remember and cherish those moments. 
Soaking up the sun, toes in the sand and home tomorrow and thanks to my friends taking care of Mia and my home while Iam away.  God bless.
