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!

1. There is nothing wrong with asking for help.

2. Some people are never going to give back. Decide if that's okay with you and act accordingly.

3. When you find a surface that hasn't been cleaned in so long the dust has gone greasy, a little powdered laundry detergent on a rag will do more than eight hours of scrubbing with cleaning solutions.

4. On the subject of laundry detergent, lots of gross stuff will yield to a pre-soak of about an hour in one part laundry detergent to ten parts water in a small bucket.

5. Remember to eat. Food is necessary for your survival.

6. Cheese. White people love cheese.

3. Thank you! I have spent many fruitless hours scrubbing greasy dust from the tops of kitchen cabinets, and am glad to hear there's an alternative!

Even when we're lactose-intolerant and it's more of a love/hate thing.
