Why am I 19 years old?

Answer 1

19 years ago, you were born. At that age you were zero. It's been 19 years since you were zero, therefore you are 19 years old.

Answer 2

Okay I'm only 20 years old myself but I do believe that I've given this more thought than my peers. I'll answer this question to the best of my ability. Please don't take this as advice. Take it as a few pointers from a girl your age who has seen different things than you have, has been put into circumstances different than yours and has learnt a few things from them ( Notice, I say different. Not more difficult. Not adverse. Just different).

Okay, so here we go!

• Şirketinizi iyi seçin: Bunun sadece 19 yaşındaki biri için değil, herkes için ne kadar önemli olduğunu vurgulayamam. Ama bu çağda gidilen yerler, yeni dostluklar kurulur. Sadece kurduğunuz arkadaşlıkların bağlantı kurduğunuz insanlarla olduğundan ve içinizdeki en iyiyi ortaya çıkardığından emin olun. Onlardan yargılanmaktan korkmamalı ve onlara uymaya çalışmamalısınız. Başka bir şey, bir ilişki aramaya gitme. Olduğu zaman girmeyin demiyorum ama bir erkek/kız arkadaş bulmak için umutsuzluğa kapılmayın. Kabileni bul, onları koru.
• Study well: Okay, I'm sorry if you think this is a cliché advice but it's important! You don't have to score a consistent 95% all the time if you can't do it comfortably. Just, whatever you do do it well. Study to learn. Don't study to replicate paragraphs in an answer paper. You never know which small line from the corner of which page is going to help you.
• Don't give up on your hobbies and passion: As students near higher secondary and college there's a tendency to drop hobbies or classes that they've been pursuing for years together. When I reached 12th standard, I was literally the only person still going to music classes while most of my friends had dropped out. Even if you haven't been going to classes there's always something you've been doing in your free time and genuinely enjoy right? Continue doing that. Take time out for yourself, the skies won't fall.
• Diversify: That brings me to my next point. Diversify. You have a talent? Build that! Attend enough cultural events in school and college. Get all the exposure you'll ever need. Always think of ways to better yourself. Always think of ways to try out new things. I know friends who started food blogging pages, music channels etc. on Instagram and YouTube. I for one, started writing on Quora. You never know what's going to help you when.
• Be ambitious: Aspire, dream big! Have a vision for yourself. You don't need to be able to explain it to other people but think about the picture you see when you think of yourself few years from now. Do you see yourself climbing the corporate ladder and being featured on forbes magazine? Do you see yourself giving a Ted Talk? Do you see yourself wearing good, branded clothes and having a nice home in a posh location? Do you see yourself doing organic farming? Take a moment and really think about it. Now do everything in your power to get closer to that dream. One tiny step at a time. Tiny drops make a mighty ocean.
• İyi içerik izleyin: Bakın, elbette iyi içerik okumak size de yardımcı olacaktır. Ama herkes buna dahil değil ve burada oturup size okumanın hayatı yaşamanın tek doğru yolu olduğunu söylemeyeceğim. HAYIR. Kitaplara duyduğum tüm sevgiye rağmen, YouTube, Pinterest ve Instagram'ın da bu konuda gerçekten çok iyi içeriği olduğunu hissediyorum. YouTube ve Pinterest, bullet Journalling'e başlamamın, zindeliğim üzerinde çalışmamın ve daha büyük hayaller kurmamın tek nedeni. Tabii ki, sincap bağımlılık yapar ve zaman zaman çöpleri izlemek isteyebilirsiniz. Suçluluk duymadan izleyin, ama aynı zamanda iyi şeylere ayak uydurun.
• Be kind. Always. - Quite self explanatory. Always be kind to those around you. Be a good listener, be empathetic. Let your friends know that you're there for them. Respect your parents and your teachers. Of course it's natural to fly of the handle every once a while but what matters is whether your heart is in the right place. Kindness and love, always.
