What are you working towards in life? Are you micro or macro ambitious? How many years until my next vlog? Only time will tell!
My first video in years! I really want to start documenting my thoughts as I try and make my way through this place called “adulthood”. It would mean the world to me if you could check it out, give me a like, leave a comment or even share the video itself!
This is the timeline expressions of my day to day life decisions
Teaching
So I have just completed my first term as a High School English / Humanities teacher.... Phew! I have to say, it wasn’t quite as bad as I was anticipating, I guess that’s the positive of expecting the worst but hoping for the best! The community that I am surrounding by are so incredibly supportive and amazing! I am going to do my best to document my time as a beginning teacher, so stay tuned folks! :D

Too hot in the kitchen?
So, I believe it is a fairly basic part of adult-dom that you have a basic understanding of how to cook at least a small selection of recipes. Sure, you can buy a frozen pizza, or go out to get McDonalds, and in moderation these things are fine. But everyone should at least have a small collection of recipes they can cook without having to google a recipe. However, at the risk of falling into the trap of irony, here are a list of 22 basic recipes that I googled for you. (Why write out recipes myself when I can save time and effort and get a google link?) My Suggestion I suggest that people who are wanting to follow this advice and learn how to cook follow the link, or search for your own lot of recipes, read through and pick out a few that appeal to you. I suggest at a bare minimum you pick out 2 mains and 1 desert that you would like to learn. Eventually after practice you will forget out ingredient measurements and cooking times and learn the processes yourself without need of a recipe.

Car crash?
Okay, so I am assuming a lot of people who are reading this drive, and if not I am going to at least assume a lot of people are often in the car with their family or friends that may not know what to do in the event of a car crash. So what DO you do? First and foremost, stop. Don't just drive off, this will often make the situation worse than it needs to be. Stop and hope that if any other drivers are involved that they will stop as well. Okay, once stopped, make sure you check if anyone is injured or if there is any damage to property (other than the cars). If either or both of these things are true, you MUST call the police to make sure the legalities of it all are taken care of.
You must then provide information to others involved (as well as make sure you get the same information from them). This information includes:
Names
Addresses
Registration Number
Details of your insurance company
That's it! That's all you need!
Tip: If unsure, do not admit liability or fault of the accident. If it is a hazey situation and you admit liability in a means of apology (if you may have not actually been at fault) you can be opening yourself up to a whole lot of legal issues.
Once all this has been dealt with, you should then contact your insurance provider as soon as possible
Also note:
Do not drive home in an unroadworthy vehicle, if unsure, call for roadside assist.
Move off of the road, turn off your ignition, activate your hazard lights.
Make sure no one is injured first and foremost, if someone is injured, depending on severity (if serious or unsure about injury, call an ambulance)
Keep yourself and others off of the road.
Exchange details
Seizure First Aid.
Learn it. Share it. Know it. Use it.
100% correct medical information on tumblr for once; also consider calling 911 if you don’t know how often the person has seizures and ESPECIALLY if the seizure has lasted 5 minutes or more (which is why the watch is critical)
This is so important!
Really good friend of mine from work back home had seizures a few times on the job. This is crucial information.
Also, if at any point, a person with a first aid certification attempts to provide care, go ahead and let them take it from there.
Also if they are in the water leave them in the water but keep their head up obviously.
Fill your time!
I have decided for this to be the very first piece of advice I give on this blog for a few reasons. I find I struggle myself with this and am sure others do to. So what I mean by this is simple. It is so easy to waste time, I find myself doing it constantly. Now although you might not always have a bountiful amount of spare time on your hands, chances are at some point you will. When you leave high school to pursue whatever endeavour life takes you on, you will more often than not find you have pockets of spare time. And unfortunately (or fortunately, however you look at it), this time is often filled with trivial nothings. I often find myself procrastinating any tasks I may have, although not normally incredibly important, these tasks such as washing clothes are often put on the sideline in favour of marathoning a TV series or spending countless hours on social media. And the best and worst thing about being an adult is that there is no one there to tell you to stop procrastinating, even if you have nothing pressing that you are avoiding.
Why is this a problem?
It may not be seen to be too problematic depending on how you view it, although it is incredibly important to enjoy life and have free time, if you have a personality like mine, you may often find that watching 10 minutes of youtube videos can quickly extend into watching an hour, two, or even more sitting with the laptop stuck in a youtube loop. I often find for myself that procrastination seems to breed more procrastination and I quickly find I have ended up about to go to bed having achieved hardly anything with my day. And for some people this is fine, some people don't mind this at all, but for me if I look back upon my day and see nothing of importance achieved, I often find myself in a sour mood for the rest of the night / following day.
So what do I suggest?
Find something, a hobby, a task. Although people are often fond of working on large, extensive tasks, I believe the advice of Tim Minchin of being "micro-ambitious" is quite apropos. Even if you have a large task you wish to work on, try to break it down into smaller "chunks", have goals that can be completed within a day, or within a small few days, preferably completed within an hour or two. I find the satisfaction of completing tasks quite rewarding. So once you have picked a project to work on, however big or small it may be from reading that book you have wanted to read, to planning out and undertaking a huge assignment task, the next thing to do is manage your time. Give yourself breaks, but make sure to have "productive" "working" hours throughout the day, even if it is merely two hours before lunch or an hour here and there, set aside time that you will keep as productive time. Now this may not be for everyone, some people are quite content with relaxing and doing nothing on their day off, but if you are like me and need to see that you have had a productive day as you go to sleep, give it a try! Feel free to send through asks letting me know what your "projects" may be, I would love to hear about them!
Welcome!
And thank you for visiting this page! This is a very new page with the overall aim being to provide useful but often unknown tips to those struggling with the task of being an adult. This page will try to cover aspects of life ranging from the mundane, to the often unheard of, all with the overall goal of teaching "How to adult".
A queue will be developed to have a continual stream of Adult for Beginners material as well as an always open ask box and submit link. The ask box will always be open if ever you have a specific question you have that needs answering, a simple message, or even a hello, never hesitate to use the ask box!
