Drink water and make it a habit. Even if you don't 'like' it. It sounds stupid but trust me it's a LOT harder once you're middle-aged and have to learn to do it or suffer a variety of health consequences. Plus it's good for your skin and you won't look like shoe leather once you're 45.
Drink water and make it a habit. Even if you don't 'like' it. It sounds stupid but trust me it's a LOT harder once you're middle-aged and have to learn to do it or suffer a variety of health consequences. Plus it's good for your skin and you won't look like shoe leather once you're 45.
Take the time to learn to cook and bake for yourself. You don't have to become (popular celebrity chef du jour) but please elevate yourself above eating frozen pizza, boxed mac and cheese, and Hostess products - you'll thank me in the future.
If for some odd reason you don't yet have these skills, learn basic bookkeeping (balancing your bank account, making up a household budget, etc). And for Dog's sake learn about how interest rates and loan terms work. Sure, capitalism is stacked against anyone under 45 (in year 2024), but if you have the rare opportunity to buy a house, you don't want to learn these things the hard way and lose it all in 5 years when some predatory balloon loan comes due. Ditto for personal and auto loans.
Write a will, or at least have some kind of written directive regarding your wishes should the worst happen.
And finally, tell the people who matter to you that you love them. The universe is fickle and you do. not. know. how long you have with any of them (this goes both ways - refer to my previous remark) This is not a regret you want to carry for the rest of your life, just... trust me on this one.
Oh, one last thing. Ask permission and pet every doggo you see. Instant endorphins.
I'm taking this assignment seriously:
