But trust me on the sunscreen.

On occasion of me stepping uncertainly into the wild terrains of adult existence, I thought I'd ask the advice of those who've been there before me and learned its systems of cartography. That is, the internets!

So, please share a few of the tips you've figured out along the way that have made your life just that little bit easier!

They can be simple and well known - maybe it really *is* easier if you install the toilet paper with the leading edge facing out! - or extremely, oddly specific - what *is* the best compass direction to face when writing love letters in a second story hotel room?

Who knows. Maybe they will make someone else's life just that little bit easier as well!

Budget well your time and money, they tend to sort of go away when you aren't looking. But don't be afraid to blow either budget when you really have to.

And good health insurance is a really good thing.

That is shockingly apt. I lost an entire day this week. My brain is still convinced it is Wednesday. D:

Don't worry too much about days. There are whole years I can barely account for :/.
