a random assortment of life tips

by me, 20 year old who is so clearly great at adulting. (not really, but i’ve been living on my own for a couple years so i sorta know how this thing works.)

coconut oil is the solution to everything - dry skin, frizzy/dull hair, cooking, removing makeup…everything.

be nice to people working service jobs.

change your pillowcases every week if you have bad acne. hell, you should change your pillowcases every week even if you don’t have bad acne.

don’t put regular dish soap in the dishwasher.

carry your school ID with you when shopping and always ask stores if they give student discounts.

sleep naked. trust me on this.

put a damp paper towel over your pizza before you reheat it in a microwave so that the crust will still be soft, not chewy.

you don’t need to color sort your laundry if you put the washing machine setting on “cold”.

drink a glass of cold water after a long cry - it’ll make you feel better.

despite what others might say, you can be friends with your exes.

make sure “find my iphone” is set up and turned on.

save your loose change and deposit it into your savings account at the end of every month. over time, a little change makes a big difference.

it’s okay to call your parents and ask for help. they probably know how to get that stain out or remedy a sore throat better than you do.

air drying (as opposed to tumble drying) your sweaters helps the fleece inside stay soft and fuzzy longer.

always double knot your running shoes.

emergency sewing kit. get one.

flavored condoms are for oral sex, not penetrative sex. 

carry a small notebook and pen with you wherever you go. write when you feel inspired, even if no one will ever read it.

never underestimate the healing power of cute animal videos on youtube.

learn how to say “no”.

be the kind of person you need in your life: support yourself. accept yourself. comfort yourself. love yourself.

be open minded, question everything, challenge yourself, and learn to look at things from different angles.

you are the most important person in your life - act like it. put yourself first.

growing up isn’t about getting your shit together - it’s about learning to accept the fact that your life will never be as perfect and put together as you’d like it to be.

screw the idea of “unconditional love” - it should always be conditional. your love is valuable as fuck; don’t give it to people that don’t deserve it.

remember that you are under no obligation to remain the person you were yesterday. allow yourself to grow.

challenge your limits, say yes to things that scare you, be open to new experiences, and live fully.
