But trust me on the sunscreen.

[odditycollector]

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!

-Unless it's bleeding or on fire, NO situation is as dire as others would have you believe. This goes double when money is involved.

-Never be willfully ignorant nor willfully malicious. In the end, the price you pay for either is too high.

-Jeans can be worn several times between washings. Shirts, socks and underwear should be washed after each wearing.

-Put your t-shirt on a hanger and bring it into the bathroom when you shower. The steam will soften it up enough that tug or two should pull out most (if not all) wrinkles.

-Put lotion or moisturizers on just after the bath and while the room is still steamy. They work far better that way.

-Rinsing your mouth with a weak infusion of sage tea, two or three times per day, will clear up almost any gum problem in astoundingly short order.

-Practice reading aloud. Be mindful of your inflection and rhythm and be sure to do all the voices. It's good practice for public speaking.
