things i have learned about the world and how it works

1. always wear shoes you would wear in the rain to movies. it's hella uncomfortable putting bare ankles on the back of those chairs.
2. when you drink too much, have a full glass of water, a piece of toast (preferably with peanut butter on it), and a multivitamin.
3. if you learn to say "fuck 'em" every time someone's opinion on you upsets you, things get a lot easier. unless you really have no desire for self-improvement, your image of yourself is all that matters and will probably motivate you to be a better and generally more likable person anyway.
4. find a gum you like, and develop an addiction to it - have some when you feel like mindlessly eating; have some when you need a cigarette; have some when you're about to bite your nails; have some when you're on the verge of a panic attack.
5. just because a movie is bad doesn't mean you have to not like it.
