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!

Another one I've discovered by "accident"... when balancing your checkbook, give yourself MORE debit than you actually have (not by much, mind you)... that way the next time you get stressed about finances, you have a little bit of extra nest egg to pleasantly surprise yourself with. :))


Hey, it worked for me.
