1. First and foremost, it is okay to make mistakes.
2. They really do allow for the best learning experiences — believe it.
3. You should find comfort in the fact that everyone makes at least one major mistake in his or her life.
4. You have to believe that everything happens for a reason, including this.
5. No one will remember this by next week.
6. Actually, in a week from now, you and your friends will be laughing about it.
7. It's hard to digest right now, but you have to know that things will get better.
8. It’s over and done with; what’s past is past. Don’t allow your past to control you.
9. Someone will always have something to say about it; don’t let this consume you.
10. Who cares what anybody else thinks? External opinions are irrelevant — especially when unsolicited and overly dramatic.
11. This doesn’t change who you are. In fact, it will help build you into a better person.
12. You’re only human. Please remember that, if nothing else.

14. Truthfully, you’re not fully living if you’re not making mistakes here and there along the way.

16. Stop over-thinking it right now. What’s done is done.
17. You can sit around, sulking and feeling sorry for yourself about what happened and what you could have done differently. OR you can (and you should) go out and try to fix it or turn it into something great. Be inspired by it.
18. The best thing you can do for yourself is to realize that LIFE GOES ON. This isn’t your first mistake and it probably won’t be your last.
19. This simply is not the end of your world. You are not alone in feeling the way you do.You will get through this. But most importantly, everything will be okay.
