Bring a sweater
Clean the lint catcher in the dryer
Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want to explain to the paramedics
Don’t go the grocery store hungry
Neer settle
Use your sick days/vacation days
Stop and smell the roses
Don’t cut your own bangs
Remember: righty tighty, lefty loosey
Don’t eat yellow snow
Be nice to those who make your food
Eat your veggies
Stare at the stars and the moon
It’s ok to say no
Say please and thank you
Look both ways
Don’t be a jerk
Forgive me for what I said before I had coffee
Turn the music up, way up
Take lots of pictures
Tell those you love “I love you” every chance you get
Eat the piece of cake
Take a chance
Wear clean underwear incase you get in an accident
Get the tattoo
Be kind, rewind
