21 Things I Learned in 21 Years

This post was inspired by a video made by Karlie Kloss; one of my favorite models, and Alexa Losey; a youtuber I recently found and enjoy. I turned 21 in Febraury and thought that it would be a great idea to make a list of all the things I have learned over the course of 21 years.
