Enjoy every minute of your life and don’t hold back from anything. That is one thing I have learned the last two years and finally doing what I love best. Do everything before you settle down and have kids. Have that dream vacation? GO! Want a brand new car? Get it. Hesitant about getting your Master’s or other advanced degrees? Don’t be! Just wake up and be happy.
