Daily Lessons

Today I learnt a heck of a lot. I just hope I learn from the mistakes I made and the mistakes I nearly made. Here’s my advice:

• Whatever happens, make an effort at all costs not to slam the door shut onto your own finger.
• When you’re fainting, the best thing to do is elevate your feet. It works!
• It’s ok to cry at the doctor’s and make the old ladies feel sorry so they let you go before them.
• It’s finally ok to stick your rude finger up… if it’s bandaged.
• Sometimes things don’t, can’t or shouldn’t always go as planned.
• Homework can actually be the best thing about your day and make you feel good (afterwards).
• When you get older, your parents leave you to make the tough decisions for yourself.
• It’s culturally impossible for a girl and a guy to be ‘just friends’.
• It takes, and is going to continue to take courage to follow through what’s best in light of the future rather than what feels good now.
• Just because everyone else is doing it (and I mean the whole city)… doesn’t mean you should.
• If a guy has a girlfriend. Run away! (Or so I’m told).
• Coke spiders are amazing.
