A list of 29 things before I turn 29 next month, that I would tell me younger self....
1. 29 is really not that old
2. Although compared to being 19, you will notice considerable differences in your ability to party and drink and generally socialise
3. The amount that life can change in a short space of time is truly mind-blowing
4. Family and friends are all that matter
5. Work is only great when you like the people you work with
6. Life is really, really hard
7. Make memories. All the time.
8. Take more pictures and store them correctly, save them and back them up!
9. Don't take people for granted
10. Be less impulsive.
11. Be more impulsive.
12. You'll move up and down, up and down and up and down to London and back.
13. Buying better quality clothes really is an investment worth making.
14. You'll learn to love cats
15. Your friends from university will be your best friends for a long, long time (hopefully forever)

17. Think about your life path, take your opinions and desires into consideration
18. Stay strong

20. Don't bottle everything up. You'll do it more and more, and it's hard to change, but you must let people in
