How to be (less) Awkward: If you wouldn’t be sassy with a perfect stranger, then there is certainly no reason to be fresh or harsh to a significant other.
How to be Smarter: Stop pressing snooze; when the alarm goes off for the day you are up. Discipline in the morning breeds discipline for the day.
How to be (less) Awkward: Liking where you live makes everything happier.
How to be Smarter: Relationships with upstanding, decent people should be celebrated and shared, not hidden. If you are embarrassed to tell your mom who you are dating, it is probably a bad idea to be dating them.
How to be Smarter: When you first get in the ocean, the water is usually really cold and uncomfortable until you duck your head under. As soon as your head is under, the water usually starts to feel warmer. Sometimes when you first try new activities, jobs, or majors, they can be really cold-feeling and uncomfortable until you make a commitment to fully immerse yourself in your new environment. To reach out and make new friends in your writing class; to run for office in your film club; to invite a girl in the cubicle next to you out for lunch. In order for nervousness and uncomfortable feelings to go away, you often have to dive right in and swim around a little until you warm up.
How to be Smarter: If you’re lying about something important, you will be found out. And if you’re lying and the truth is never found out, it means the issue was unimportant and there was no need to lie to begin with.
How to be Prettier: Since everyone already looks kind of silly in earmuffs, but they really do keep you warm without messing up your hair, go unapologetically large and fun with them, especially if you have a neutral-colored coat
How to be Prettier: If you can’t get motivated, feel overwhelmed or are not happy, changing a little piece of your outfit can often change the day. In your work desk or school bag, keep a fun-colored thin cardigan or dangly earrings to whip on if suddenly your current state of mind feels blah.
How to be Smarter: The more unexpectedly harsher someone is with you is usually directly proportional to the number of personal issues they are dealing with that are unrelated to you.
How to be (less) Awkward: A cheap thrill when you’re feeling down is to google all the songs with your name in them, and download the good ones.
How to be Smarter: Eight baby-steps equals one big step; remember to chose each baby-step strategically so that it is going in the direction you want the big step to head off into.
How to be (less) Awkward: I think a cute thing to do when it rains is to look out the window and say, “oh good, a free window washing!”
