#29 The Importance of ignoring the opposite sex.

29. Impossible to read. A lost cause to figure out. I'm giving up on the signs and signals, and throwing in the towel on the "whys" and whats". So over it. You're better off to just go with the flow.

No more cutting your own bangs. EVER!
help...

#23 The Importance of the Reality of Study Habits

23. Yes, life would be easier if you studied all the time, and you practiced continually. And If you organized yourself to learn a chapter a day, less stress would fall upon you. But lets be serious. You say your going to do better next time, and that you've learned your lesson, but you never do. So let this be the lesson. Ready for it? Here it comes.

It's painful, it sucks, and it's stupid. But cramming, and waiting 'til the last minute is what you do. And it works for you. And if you've learned one thing from Psychology it's that understanding yourself, and coming to terms with who you are, will put you on the road to self-actualization, and that my dear, in real life terms.. is the road to success. And there's no other place I'd rather be.

Why change who i really am?

It has now been sitting on my counter for 30 minutes, and continues to make cracking noises... im waiting upon its explosion. I also noticed a burning "spot" on the element of the stove as i was boiling water... i tried to remove the "spot" with the plastic spoon i was using to stir. This cause the plastic to melt on the "spot" causing more burning to occur.

It was not my brightest day in the kitchen, but i managed to create a fully edible meal.

#18 The Importance of Eternal Youth

18. You are never too old for sour keys. I saw a 40 something year old walk out of a convenient store today with a sour key in hand, and it felt perfectly normal. Nothing like that candy treat on a warm breezy spring day. Totally nostalgic for life, yo.

I moved out of my house when i was 18 and i'll never look back, but it doesn't mean i don't love my family. As i continue to grow, i hope i see my family as often as i can... i just have no interest in joining the family business.

# 10 The Importance of Cliche

10. Everything happens for a reason. There have been times in my past where then, i couldn't appreciate something that i now can, but its important to remember that at some point, you will be able to look back and know why that had to be the way it was. Everything really does happen for a reason.

5. Theres never any harm in trying. Even when you don't think you know how to do something, try to do it, because chances are you do know, and you just aren't giving yourself enough credit.
