I just wanted to say, if you're reading this, I really appreciate that you're reading my words!!!! Wow!!! Even when it's basically titled "THIS IS A WASTE OF EVERYONE'S TIME."
Anyway, on with the painfully long blog post.
I've become a fan of pretending I'm an adult nowadays, and a part of this new life is being able to share words of wisdom. However, I do not have any words of wisdom whatsoever. Instead, I figured I'd list a bunch of things I think are helpful, in whatever order I happen to think of them in. I am not qualified to do this whatsoever.
- When you're just chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool, when suddenly you doubt your entire life, DON'T WORRY!! IT'S ALL GOING TO BE OKAY.
- I mean, generally speaking, this is true.
- I can't say in every situation it'll be okay, but there have been way too many TIMESwhere I was all like, "Wow omg my life is OVER might as well live in my parents basement forever, and they don't even have a basement." Before realizing, wait nevermind it's already over, and now I'm eating cheese fries.
- Pretty much everytime I look back at something, I laugh at how silly it all was compared to how important it felt at the time. The way time works is that it's constantly moving forward (citation: the science), so in a few months whatever's bothering you will be well behind you, and you'll have had so many cool things happen in between.
- For me it's probably eating really memorable food or getting cool outfits.
- And if it's not going to be okay, STILL DON'T WORRY! I'll help you!!
- Or, I'll try my very hardest to help you, if you want me to.
- If you don't want me to help out, that's okay! I'm not really able to help people like a good 90% of the time, but I promise I'll give it my best shot. What's really important is that you ask for help!
- I know these sound obvious, but it's important to acknowledge asking for help is alright, and a perfectly respectable thing. I'm not saying to take advantage of it, but when you can't reach something, ask someone else to reach instead of trying to scale the shelf alone and knock everything over. I've been there, like, literally, and I broke a huge thing of pickles. It wasn't the best look.
- Always have a "Power Dress" (or Power Outfit)
- But actually, a Power Dress. I don't care who you are, having a really awesome dress/outfit that makes you feel like you could PUNCH THE SUN is a necessary ensemble for your closet.
- You're pretty much a superhero with a secret weapon if you have the right outfit, and people will notice.
- Hard work generally pays off
- I think I'm kind of a workaholic. I like to have a lot on my plate, because it lets me know I'm doing SOMETHING to enrich my life.
- The past 3 years of college has taught me that challenging yourself to be better usually results in being better. So go to the library and take books out, or watch tutorial videos, and work in the labs so much people inherently assume you'll be there. After a while it gets easier, and people will think you're pretty impressive with all your know-how in whatever it might be you've been doing.
- But don't work so hard, that's like, not cool either.
- By this I mean remember to eat and sleep, and devote at least a couple FULL days to just watch Batman movies or the first Scooby Doo live-action movie on VHS on repeat. Like a respectable adult.
- Practice cooking.
- I already wrote a blog post about how I normally cook, but look up recipes online or in cookbooks! Mainly because my method is more how to trick people into thinking you can cook, not a real method to practice cooking.
- One day, you'll be in a situation where you'll have to cook something (probably). Be prepared to BLOW EVERYONE AWAY with your competence in cooking. It's also a good way to show off via instagram.
- Drink lots of water.
- I mean according to science you should drink water to stay alive.
- I also just really like ice water when it's in one of those tumbler cups with the straws.
This was a really long post, and most of it contradicts itself or is incredibly generic advice. But I think we overlook obvious answers sometimes. That's just my two cents.
