Lessons I Should Have Learned The First Time

  • When riding a mower under tree branches which probably contain spider webs, keep your mouth closed.
  • Speak up. Silence is usually implied consent.
  • If you think “It’s okay if I leave it a mess because nobody is going to come in,” you are probably wrong.
  • In times of stress, simply surviving to the next day is enough to accomplish.
  • Clear your phone before you hand it to a family member.
  • When someone hands you their phone to see something, only look at that one thing.
  • Delayed gratification is part of adulthood.
  • Skip fried foods.
  • Don’t believe everything you think in the middle of the night.
  • On road trips, use a bathroom every time you stop.
  • The nearer the equator, the more sunscreen you need.
  • Don’t back down when you know you are right.
  • When someone slimy takes advantage of a situation, remember that it is a reflection of them and not you.
  • Trust your instincts. If you feel like your boss is out to get you, he probably is.
  • A stack of books to read is a happy reminder that you have things to look forward to.
  • There are many types of “love”. Love freely, but recognize the differences.
  • If he only compliments you when he’s drinking, he doesn’t really feel that way.
  • Always pack an extra outfit in your carry-on.
  • If you’re flying through Atlanta, give yourself a minimum of an hour layover. And that is probably still pushing it.
  • If the movie is boring, walk out. It’s not going to get better and your time is worth more than the ticket.
