10. Eat something you really want to eat. For me this is typically some kind of starch, i.e pasta, bread, potatoes. But I mean it! Food should be an experience, it should be enjoyable. Put the stale crackers back in the pantry, and eat something you really will enjoy. Don't pretend you enjoy Lean Cuisine, you don't, go out, make dinner, do something for your food. Also for all of you who are on a diet, I am sorry, but I mean this. Stop telling yourself that eating celery instead of Cheetos is going to turn your life around. It isn't. Unless your diet solely consisted of Cheetos in which case you should re-evaluate your life. Plus, if you have been eating celery for a week, your small bowl of Cheetos will be like an artificial cheesy reward.
9. Tell someone you love, that you love them. This is not meant to guilt trip you into calling your grandma in Louisiana to tell her you love her and then get you stuck listening to her talk about her cats. This is, however, a simple reminder that we have no guarantees in life, and everyone loves a little lovin'. Let your peeps, or tweeps, know you care.
8. Watch the News. Or read a newspaper. Or look at the CNN.com home page.. But for heaven's sake please don't turn on E! , flip the page in People, or creep on Perez Hilton and feel knowledgable. There is indeed a very large world out there filled with people and things that are both interesting and effect you. Current Events are not for old people, they are for all people. DO NOT however watch the news before bed it gives you nightmares. I mean it.
7. Give something away. You have so much stuff, you know it. There is a pile or bag or box somewhere in your house, apartment, room etc. that is just waiting to be sorted through. Stop telling yourself you will lose 30 pounds and fit into that really cute homecoming dress from freshmen year in high school. It isn't going to happen. Some one who can fit into it is dying to love your gently worn clothes. Also, that sweater you bought at J.Crew because it was on sale that you haven't worn and you bought it 9 months ago, it goes too. Or your Barbie Princess DVD, see if your next door neighbor wants it. You don't need 100 cook books. You probably haven't opened 95 of them. There are people out there who would treasure each and every one of these things that are collecting dust. Share the consumer love.
6. Stalk yourself on Facebook. Why you may ask should anyone be reminded to stalk themselves on Facebook? I don't mean look at how cute you looked with Hottie McHot last night. I mean go find those terribly embarrassing photos from your awkward phase(s) and save them to your computer and then delete them from the world wide web. For your future self's sake. Having been the victim of having the most heinous photo you ever willingly uploaded to Facebook of yourself resurface ten times, trust me.
5. Register to vote. You would think this would be self explanatory and yet I feel the need to explain. It is your civic duty. Don't give me the blah blah blah about how politics aren't important because you are between the ages of 18-21 and only care about lowering the legal drinking age and legalizing pot. There are not soldiers dying on the daily for you to sit about and let someone else make decisions for you. Just do it! Like nike.. seriously.. do it...
4. Think about how awesome it would be to go to Hogwarts. I just provided you with at least 5 minutes of entertainment courtesy of your own imagination. Even if you don't like Harry Potter you have to admit that life would rock going to a Co-Ed boarding school and being able to do Magic with a cool wand and being sorted into a House and yeah you get the picture...
RAVENCLAW FOR LIFE
3. Let your hair air dry. Leave your poor tresses alone, you too boys. How would you feel if someone fried you on the reg with hot air. You wouldn't like it. Plus it conserves energy. This also means forgo straightening, curling, crimping, waving, or whatever else, your hair.
2. Try to imagine what life would be like without a computer. Immediately stop complaining about bad internet connection.
1. Thank God. He does a lot. Pretty talented. Super impressive. Created you. Just shoot up a little, "Thanks for being awesome," prayer.
xoxo,
ACE
