Totally Sweet Advice. PART FOUR

1. Spend less time impressing others and more time impressing yourself! You'll find others are more impressed by this anyway!

2. Racism is not cool. No. It's really not... and it's not like fashion where it MAY come in again. It's out for good. Don't be a racist, you pig!

3. Sex is never like the movies you watch/novels you read. It's potentially awkward/embarrassing and just plain confusing. So just stress less about it and have fun. But not too much fun you filthy slutz!

4. As much as they like to think they are, adults are NOT always right. Heck, I swear I know more/am wiser than most of the adults I surround myself with. So, don't listen to them if you feel they're handing out wrong advice.

5. If you don't drink coffee, good for you. Don't try it because you WILL become a serial coffee consumer and that HAS to be bad for your health. Right?!

6. Dissing other people's religions every chance you get (or even at all) is just way old. Sure, they might seem ludacris to you and everything, but you probably sound the same to other people. It's a touchy subject. Don't talk about it if you can't agree to disagree about it! Be mature, duh. Plus, you just DON'T KNOW who's right. You don't, and that's the beauty and the ugliness of it.

7. Some people get along and some people don't! You don't have to try and get along with every single person you encounter. Nor should you feel bad if you just don't feel you're connecting with somebody and all your mates are. Just recognise that this doesn't make them, or you a lesser person. You just don't mesh. End of.

8. You hardly ever look as stupid as you feel, so just go for it. Go all out!

9. If you are running late, don't shake it off and take your time and be even later! It's completely irresponsible and people have to wait for you! It's just plain rude and you're wasting other people's valuable time and energy. If you can't help but be late every ONCE IN A WHILE, make sure you call ahead and let them know. Then when you do arrive, apologise for christ's sake! Or, just don't be late!

10. Do not go grocery shopping on an empty stomach! You'll buy way more food than you need and will later feel obliged to eat it! Then you'll fel guilty and/or gain weight. Trust me!
