In accordance with
July-Lesson 20, even if you run out of things to say, "That's when you know you've found somebody special. When you can just shut the **** up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence."

Randomly adding friends on Facebook, especially if you and the potential "friend" have no mutual friends, will get you this reaction:

One of the worst feelings in the world is to one day learn that, although you may have been above average in the past, you have suddenly become the bottom rung. In other words, always have reality checks! You may save yourself from a myriad of situations!

Life is a continually changing experience, even when you're bored to tears. At one point in life, you may have been so introverted, you were essentially a selective mute. Suddenly, you realize one day that something changed--you actually have decent people skills.
In other words, even you seem to be subpar in something at the moment, if you work hard (even if it's a slow process) and use common sense, you will eventually attain it.

A year may seem like it takes forever to pass, and perhaps some of your resolutions and goals have fallen by the wayside. However, after passing a full year of [somewhat] consistent lessons, a great feeling of victory and triumph is at hand!

The shorter you are, the bigger your head will appear in a portrait. Also, it's important to pay attention to a friend's siblings due to the awkward experience that follows when it's obvious you just mixed them up without knowing it...and there's a 5+ year difference between them...and they don't really look that similar...

It's good to pay to details, but don't assume and miss the big picture! Just because something on the screen catches your eye does NOT mean that's what your friend was referring to.
Example:

Forgive, but never forget. Very rarely will people change once you see their darker side. Don't get caught up in the moment.
Otherwise, everyone but you will react like this:

Nothing says Greek society quite like a toga and the smell of beer.

Some days just don't bode well for your sanity. On those days, your feelings may be encompassed in a single image:
However, press on, my friends
(what friends)! The day only stinks if you allow it to stink! To continue the metaphor: take a shower and be refreshed! There's no use "waking up on the wrong side of the bed." Pick up your feet and walk on the right side of the road!

An early morning walk is great, grand, fantastic. Especially when you are in a very busy city and the early morning brings no one but the occasional passerby. It brings great scenery and great pictures.

To be a ghost, a ninja, a wallflower...they certainly have their perks. One of these is the ability to unintentionally eavesdrop on a potentially fruitful or entertaining conversation.

"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.

When planning to save things for later:
a) Make sure you're not using your clothes or hair as storage

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.

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

Group projects are terrible.

A picture is worth a thousand words. For some photographers, a picture is worth some hairs and teeth pulled and nasty glares. It doesn't hurt to take a picture for someone, if you don't like it, don't use it. One simple snap of a picture will not hurt you or your camera!

To increase productivity significantly, study in a quiet area (e.g. library) with a person you know who is superbly intelligent and/or productive. Your results will be:
