10 things my friend learned going through 2016:

1. Cgpa does not measure your intelligence, i have seen both intelligent people without a diploma in his hands and a deans list student being clueless about life.

2. There's no easy money. Countless times when i go back home after a long day i felt sorry and proud of my dad who worked hard for all, it's not easy despite of what you do.

3. Love what you love. Be darned about what people think, you can never shut people up so just do what you want and be happy.

4. Not all friends are true friends. 2016 is the most challenging world for me and truth be told, there wasnt a lot of people who helped me during my rough times.

5. You are your own hero. Be strong, no matter what, find a way to swim to the shore on your own because sometimes you got stranded alone and you will only have you to survive. 

6. Life gets harder as you live. As money flocks, people come and go it will get harder and harder so brace yourself theres more to face.

7. Everyone is different. We live with different stories and see trough different perspectives. Sometimes we gotta step out of our comfort zone and see through others view to understand.

8. Do not make someone a home, because once they are gone you will be lost and stranded. Make comfort with places.

9. Befriend people freely, make friends but don't get too attached. The saying the less you care the less it hurts are there for a reason.

10. People change. The wani today might not be the same as the wani you saw a month ago, people change rapidly so do not expect anybody to appear the same till the end, love and hatred can be changed in a split second.
