List of things to remember


  1. Stop trying to copy other artists'/authors'/musicians' styles and start creating your own, borrowing concepts and ideas from a little bit of everywhere. You have the potential to appear somewhat unique thanks to your wide pool of interests; take advantage of that!
  2. That Spanish II assignment is due next week on Monday.
  3. You don't have to experience everything you hear about. It's ok if you don't find the time to immerse yourself in yet another show or book or something. Cut yourself some slack.
  4. Cut yourself some slack.
  5. You have some Government vocabulary to study.
  6. Cut yourself some slack (but not too much).
  7. You think a lot. That's ok. But it's not ok to think yourself into headaches and states of immobile depression. So don't.
  8. Your life is a project, yes. But it's not due tomorrow. It's due when you die. So take it slow if need be.
  9. You have a four day weekend next week, so be sure to read Crazy Love like you've been wanting to.
  10. You have excellent friends who appreciate you and your strange mannerisms. They try to make you blush, they poke fun at you for using big words and all that, but that's because they love you and feel comfortable enough with you to say those things. So reciprocate.
  11. Think out loud, but only when you have a sympathetic audience. It's easier to avoid confusion that way.
  12. You need to get enough sleep. It's important for both your physical and mental health.
  13. Make plans for the future, but expect them to change.
  14. If you want to do something unusual or different, go ahead. People won't actually care that much if you decide to wear or act different for a day.
  15. And finally, you are a beautiful mess.
