A little nap can go a long ways! Just a mini thirty minute nap can rejuvenate your energy to allow you to study all night long!

"First World Problems" really help you see the world in a different light, once you stop laughing at them and realize how fortunate you actually are.

Addictions are always bad.  However, it's better to have a less harmful addiction, such as reading, than, an addiction to drugs and/or alcohol.  Just remember that an addiction is still an addiction, so staying up 'til the wee hours to finish a book on a school night?  Not a good idea.

Baking is a great way to wind down after a long day. Not only is it relaxing, it is also rewarding to enjoy the results of the wonderful chocolate marbled banana bread.

When planning to save things for later:

a)  Make sure you're not using your clothes or hair as storage
b)  You actually DO have something saved for later, instead of a mere mouthful or two

There's enough...for a hamster...

Letting a friend know about something that irks you may come at unexpected moments. For example: during an intense board game! Do not let this falter your game!

Timing really is everything.  It's important to be up-to-date on things.  Otherwise, a feeling of guilt will permeate your days ahead.

Sometimes a small action of kindness can go a long way, it can go so far that you may completely forget about it. Only to be reminded a day later through an elation on Facebook.

“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.”

True, for the most part.  However, when it comes to finishing an assignment, especially an online one, it's the destination that matters and not the journey.  If you can't enter something correctly, you're no longer going to enjoy the journey.  At all.

When in need of a step stool and there isn't one in sight, use textbooks!! Those wretched books that consumed the past few years of your life does have a purpose.

When you are faced with the decision on whether or not to try and cross some train tracks during heavy traffic, it's better to be safe than sorry!  Wait it out and you will breathe a sigh of relief, knowing you managed to have the virtue of patience and not look like an idiot whose car got hit by a train.

Endings are usually depressing, but never ever forget that "when one door closes, another opens."

HOWEVER, that does NOT mean "f*** the world!"  Do NOT end things with a bang just because you want to bring others down with you.  Sometimes, the higher road is to hold your tongue and move on.

After a long day, all you need is a funny video to watch. Disclaimer: One video can exponentially grow to many in a very short amount of time. Prepare yourself to be in front of your computer screen for awhile.

One of the most exciting but worst feelings that can be experienced involving schoolwork is turning in an assignment during the minute it is due.  SUCCESS!

The elder + cell phone = obnoxious

A cute elderly woman + loud cell phone ringing = less obnoxious and tolerable

Sometimes your personality can make up for the annoying things that you forget to do, example: turning off your cell phone during a meeting.

One of the best ways to find new music is to download mixtapes provided by others.  This allows for greater variety than sites like Pandora and Last.FM.  Plus, you get to hear less well-known songs in other languages!

When taking a nap, be more realistic with the time you are going to wake up at. A thirty minute nap is not within reach when you wake up two hours later. Aim to wake up in three hours and you'll surprise yourself when you wake up within two hours.

It's a saddening experience when you have had multiple confessions of love online and none in real life.  A saddening experience indeed.

Waking up early is not always a good thing. Especially when you fell asleep at 5 am to only wake up at 9 am. The grogginess and headache induced will only go away if you can go back to bed for a few more hours.

Friends are sneaky when they scheme. They'll ask you a question pertaining to their mother and you give them your honest opinion. This opinion may end up being your birthday present. Thank your awesome friends for being thoughtful!

If you did not contribute to a group project, do not, on the day it is due, read over what the other people have written and write at the bottom (where the other people have been communicating) something akin to "This is great chickies."  You will significantly add to their ire.

Speaking of groups, be sure that if you plan to get tipsy (or wasted), that you can handle yourself and don't look like a beast unleashed.  It'll lead to some interesting footage and stories later on...

Baking a cake can be quite the adventure! You may start whipping cold cream cheese hoping it will become fluffy in no time. You may take a cake out a little too soon and cause the cake to stick to the pan. You may even put the cake on a cooling rack instead of a plate causing you to have to carefully transport the cake to a plate. Yes, these are the things that may happen, but what also might happen is you will end up making and eating a very delicious cake! Pros outweighed the cons.

No, laying on a couch with your legs wide open is not very welcoming or pleasing to look at. Mostly when you are a girl (lady was not used in this context). Close the legs or else your choice of work will be questioned.

Revving up your car at about 2:00pm in the afternoon in a sleepy, downtown area looks and sounds stupid, not cool.

Somehow, life gets more disturbing the more slang you know (See:  July - Lesson 3).  Every word, every phrase somehow turns into a sexual innuendo.  Know your slang, but know to keep your mind out of the gutter!

Example:
"Raincoat."

Avoiding the urge to visit friends may result in a productive day. Whether it be spent taking a nap or doing homework or doing both, you will find yourself getting caught up with your own life.

When driving past a large group of friends who are walking, be sure that you do not turn on your music at the same time you're rolling down your window unless you prefer to be judged.  You never know what music will be blasted out...perhaps it'll be Adele, or perhaps it will be Spice Girls.  The safest bet is to not turn on the music when opening your window.

Seeing a friend after not seeing them for awhile is really great!! It may also make the rest of your day great when you spend it with a bunch of friends simply playing cards and making a fool of yourself in public. Add all these together and you have a great combination of friends and a memorable night!

There are certain things that should be done alone, lest your intentions are to injure or be creepy. One of these is to shower with another...that isn't your significant other, while in the presence of a mother, brother, or anyone's hearing (or viewing) displeasure.

Try ignoring the things that bother you most. Example: Try not to listen to the whine and complaints of others if these seem to be frequent and the subject does not do much to help the situation. Simply ignore and life will continue to proceed without the whine, even though the process may require you to take a swig of wine.

Every once in a blue moon, certain coincidences happen that may make people misinterpret you and/or your actions.  However, this may be one of those few times where it's better to do things later rather than sooner; you never know when a pleasant surprise is in store for you.

When sneaking out, be wary of your enemies and their spies; you never know when you'll encounter them, and if you do, you may have to take extreme measures such as hiding behind trash bins (The Great Wall of China for some) or strolling around a building.
