Your teenage years are a vital time period in any girl's life: you could
even say it is somewhat of a transition period, when a girl figures out who she
really is and what it takes to evolve into a woman. It's during these very
years that we find ourselves learning what it really means to 'grow up'. Whilst
juggling exams and early morning alarm wake ups it can be extremely easy to
misplace the sunnier bit of life. However, this all being said, your teens can
actually turn out to be some of the best years and for this reason I have put
together a list of 6 things every teenage girl
should know to make sure we make the most of our opportunities
and never let go of any moments in these fundamental years!
- Learn To Spend Wisely: Most girls begin to dip into taking care of their own finances at
this age. Learning how to manage a budget for everything you need, can be
difficult. In my experience, I have found out that by monitoring your
monthly income and listing out what you want can actually aid
you to better understand what you’re spending on and how long it will take
you to save up for other things you want. It is also important not to go
bananas every time you get 200dhs, learn to budget to make
things easier in life later...
- Get Interning: Your teen years are a prime time to start interning. Not everyone
has figured out what they want they want to be in life. I can say that I
have no clue. If you get somewhat as a seed of interest in a certain
career path...intern! Intern with a company that fulfils what you want to
be when you are older. For example if you want to be a lawyer, go talk to
a law firm and ask for an internship opportunity. Interning is
great because not only does this give you some
work experience you can put on your CV, it also opens your mind
to that business and will help you formulate the decision if you would
like to stick to this career path so that you can take on more internships
in this field to get broader experience! It's also a no brainer that it
will help you cancel out the job paths that you don't want...like
interning with one8one helped me to realize that I never ever
ever want to be a secretary but working for a magazine would not
be a complete no-no for me. Give it a chance!
- Embrace
Friendships: It is vital to realize that guys will come
and go, but girls will be there for you forever! Best friends are
like four leaf clovers, hard to find and luck to have....and if you ask
me, losing a best friend will be much much much harder than losing a boy.
- Keep
Your Skin Looking Youthful:
Teenage years are well...a bit of a up-down-hill for skin. Your hormones
are going wild and this has an impact on your skin...your skin may look
'bad' or youthful and good...However, what your skin looks may not be what
it will look like in years to come. But! It will help to determine what it
will look like...sooooo, 1) wear sunscreen to prevent wrinkles coming
in faster than they need to, 2) never sleep with makeup on and 3) Always
moisturize and have a good skin care routine. Your skin will thank you
later!
- Be sure to not repeat the
same mistakes: People will often tell you that your teens
are a time to make many mistakes. But what’s important to remember is not
actually making mistakes, but rather learning from the
lessons these mistakes teach us. Take everything as a lesson learned and
promise yourself it won’t happen again.
- You are not an oldie: Please
remember to never lose sight of yourself. You
grow up a ton in your teens, but you’re still young to have loads of fun!
You’ll have lots upon lots of time to grow up. Be weird and goofy and go
on crazy adventures! These are the memories you’ll embrace when you look
back on these beautiful years.
I hope these little bits of advice inspire you take on your teens
full-throttle!
