Inspired by that Sisterly Advice thread, except in this one I had in mind all of us give out one or two pearl of wisdom for the rest of us. Could be something deep and philosophical like how to approach life or the most basic of advice you can offer.

I'll start out with; always carry change with you. Nothing feels worse than receiving a bunch of coins when you could've instead gave coins and received a nice cold bill....

And when you tell someone you're gonna meet them up at a specific time, always give yourself 10 or 20 more minutes than you would normally think. Despite all odds, somehow you will end up late.

Take everything in this thread at face value, you decide if what's said is significant or not.

If you have very poor time-management skills, try seeing where you do many things in one area. For example, if you sit on your bed and are on the computer totally not talking about myself but you obviously still need the bed to sleep. Sometimes while trying to fall asleep on that bed you'll end up thinking about what you did on your computer still not talking about myself *innocent whistling* and you'll have trouble sleeping... I'm such a restless wreck, ignore me lol

Getting too much sleep is just as bad as not getting enough. Well, not always, but it can be. If you take naps in the day, try cutting them down to 10 minutes or so rather than an hour nap, you'll wake up more refreshed than if you took the hour-long one. I'm not sure how it works, but it does. It works for me and it works for my mom.

Smelling good is just as important as looking or acting good when trying to get and/or keep a job.

Modern technology gets smaller. Modern technology gets pricy-er. Buying smaller technology = Paying more for said technology. If it's not better than something that's not as recent but costs less, don't waste your time with it just because it's more recent. It also helps to know what you're looking for. My cousin goes through maybe 3 cell phones a season, because the newest ones are too focused on "features" than durability.






I'm sure I'll come up with more later.

Try to make an effort to keep in contact with your friends, even if it's just saying hi occasionally. You might end up regretting it later if you let yourself become distant from them.

And avoid procrastinating if you can. You just end up more stressed later. x_x

Oh, and I second what Rainbow Neko said about using the computer, I find that I can't fall asleep if I use the computer right before bed D:

If you want to purify the air or get rid of odour, cut open an onion and leave it out for a day.

I've never really been into a general "life tip" thread since many tips are conflicting or cliche and generic. (If you're ready to hop on my own thread as a rebuttal I'll specify that) I always make sure to specify in my own thread that's it's all my opinion and not meant to be held highly. I think individual perspectives work better than general tip threads.

True most tips are one's we heard before, which is why I made mine so mind numbingly mundane and obvious. And how someone takes someone's advice is entirely up to them, I'm sure some people would appreciate Valerius idea of keeping contact with one's friends. I sure do in some occasions.

But if I put a warning up top to take everything said with a grain salt, would that be better?

Drink a lot of warm water when you feel like you've caught a cold.

I suck at giving tips I know

If you can't get to sleep or just wish to clear your head, sit up straight and breath in, pushing your stomach out, and hold it. Let it out a second later and repeat.

If you don't like airplane rides, once you've landed and settled take off your shoes and socks then walk around bare foot and make fists with your toes. DIE HARD.
Love that movie.
