Since school starts again in the north of Sweden tomorrow, I thought telling about my views of life on the internet would be the best idea I get until the next break.
Well, call it whatever you want, it's just alot of stuff I think alot of people should be aware off.
Okey, my second advice would be to stop whining about everything. If you lost your wallet and starts bitching about it next day, I'll ask why. It already happened and there is nothing that can undo it. Never complain about stuff that you can't affect, it'll just do nothing. For me, life became alot more relaxed and enjoyable this way.
Learn to find positive things in everydaycrap. Like rain, this is a horrible example for me since I've always loved rain.
Don't be shy. You'll be amazed how looking people in the eyes will work.
If you're looking at someone, and he or she discovers it, don't turn your eyes guilty away. Keep looking will oddly enough seem less guilty.
Be calm, as said above. People will earn more respect of you.
If you need to punch someone, bend your fist backwards a bit and hit him with the "fleshy" lower end of your palm.
Once your socks are wet, you'll never be comfortable. Just take them off and get a dry pair. Wear a hat in the wintertime, it's probably the most important article of clothing you'll wear the whole season.
Learn CPR.
Lighter Fluid, the kind you put in your zippo. Its a great solvent, it cleans plastics, melts the glue on stickers and always evaporates away to nothing. I use it for cleaning all sorts of stuff. Its good at getting tar and oil out of clothes, and its a great degreaser for mechanical stuff. Its also cheap. brilliant for taking the price tags off gifts etc, even book covers.
If you're in a large group that's singing, and you know the tune of the song but not the words, you can just mouth "Watermelon" over and over. No one watching will be able to tell, except the deaf.
Always keep a knife and a lighter on you if you're leaving your house.
If your ever in NYC going through a shitty neighborhood on a bus, don't sit in the back. Everyone I know that got robbed on NYC buses were sitting in the back.
Keep a diary.
Keep a blanket and a snack in your car, not just for emergencies, but for whatever.
Again:
STOP LIVING IN FEAR Stop double bolting your door, stop checking all your windows before you go to sleep, stop carrying a gun, stop jumping at shadows, stop carrying a flashlight with you everywhere at night - you live on a ****ing college campus in the middle of nowhere for ****'s sake you stupid, ignorant bit... sorry. Unless you live in the ghetto of some huge city where bad shit REALLY DOES HAPPEN on a regular basis (in this case, see my next point).
Stop drinking. It has been proven conclusively over and over again in bar labs that all the "beneficial" social effects of alcohol are entirely psychosomatic (i.e. - It's a placebo... at least in that respect) whereas all the dangers and negative effects are very, very real. Re: the glass of red wine a day thing... they come out with a new study about weekly that "proves" that it is now either good or bad for you. Proceed at your own risk.
Think, goddammit. You don't do it enough.
Listen to the viewpoints of others seriously, even if you don't agree with them. Try to learn to look at things from the point of view of others, if only so you can understand why they're wrong (or, God forbid, why you're wrong - yes, it happens).
Slow down.
Know how to tie a half-windsor knot. Most people won't know the difference, but the people who do are the ones you want to impress.
Hydrogen peroxide gets blood out of clothes.
Need to open a door? Thermite is the answer.
Have a firm handshake.
Don't loan money to friends.
Don't EVER get rid of someone's phone number, unless you're in their bad books. On that note, try to stay on as many people's good side as possible. Getting a job isn't about what you know- it's about who you know
Drink alot of water, more water then you need during the day.
It'll keep you more focused.
Breath through your nose, it'll keep you healthy.
And for the last advice:
When opening a valve or something similar, righty it tighty.

EDIT:
Yes, I'm so stupid, why did I ever talk?
