10 Of Life’s Secrets That No One Wants To Let You In On
Lauren Martin | Elite Daily
I feel cheated. I feel like a fourth grade girl at a birthday party where all the other girls are whispering in the corner, playing mean games and trading juicy secrets at my expense.
I feel like I’ve grown out of the slumber parties and games of spin the bottle, yet everyone is still out there playing whisper down the lane and refusing to let me in.
Whether they were trying to protect us or were just too wrapped up in their own misery to warn us of our own, our parents didn’t do the best job of exposing us to the harsh realities of adult life and I feel like I’ve been left out of some pretty important secrets.
Maybe they wanted us to stay as untainted and blissfully unaware for as long as possible, but it really just feels like we were the last to be let in on these little secrets of life. Did they want us to find out when it’s too late? After the secrets had been manipulated and changed after passing through mouth after mouth?
No, I refuse to hear them when it’s too late. I refuse to hear that I’ve have a “kick me” sign on my back after 20 years. I refuse to let the secrets run the mill without my consent.
Fortunately, for the rest of you, I’ve been let in on a few of the secrets to life. Whether they’ve finally been passed on to me or I learned them myself, I am now in possession of 10 valuable life secrets that will change you.
They are the secrets some people didn’t want you to know, whether for selfish or concerning reasons. But I think you, too, are old enough to hear them now.
It doesn’t matter where you go to college
Contrary to what everyone tells you in high school, it doesn’t matter where you go to college. Hell, many times, it doesn’t even matter if you go to college (if you’re smart enough to figure it out on your own), but no one wants to tell you that because that’s not how it works.
Until graduation, everyone leads you to believe that the name you rattle off when people ask where you went to school will lead you different places, paths worthy of your institution’s reputation.
Unfortunately for those who enslaved themselves to four years of mental anguish and insurmountable debt, once you’re in the “real world” all that matters is how well you can bullsh*t your way through.
