Thoughts on my JavaScript?

Hi everyone,

I'm just looking for some constructive criticism on my basic JavaScript.

I've just started learning so not familiar with any of the more advanced concepts yet. 

var secondsPerMin = 60;
var minsPerHour = 60; 
var hoursPerDay = 24;
var daysPerWeek = 7; 
var weeksPerYear = 52; 
var daysPerYear = 365; 
var secondsPerDay = secondsPerMin * minsPerHour * hoursPerDay; 
document.write ('There are ' + secondsPerDay + ' seconds in a day!');
var yearsAlive = 20;
var secondsInLife = yearsAlive * secondsPerDay * daysPerYear;
document.write (' There have been ' + secondsInLife + ' seconds In the ' + yearsAlive + ' years that you have been alive!');
```js

Use const (or let) instead of var
