12 of my favorite bits of internet wisdom (so far)

Here are quotes taken out of 12 of my favorite bits of the internet, as I have traversed it so far, written by people far wiser than I. If you have time, I suggest reading the entire pieces.


Assume rapport.




There’s nothing like a fledgling romance to make life shiny & new again! Oh, the excitement! The deciphering of text messages… the thrill of getting to know each other… the glee as you discuss it all endlessly with your best friend!






Get some exercise — fun exercise. Put on your favourite Bollywood movie & dance around your living room.





Order delivery food, just to bask in the glory of the fact that if you pay people, they will come to your door. With food. Warm, good food.






The primary disadvantage of a non-technical major is that people who know you will often give you flak about majoring in something 'useless' or 'impractical'. You will more likely have to defend your choice of major to your parents, relatives, friends, and even people you meet at cocktail parties. This is especially true when you are young and without a steady career under your belt; there is a heavier burden on you to show that you can make something of your life and career relying primarily on soft skills. On the upside, if you are older and already established in your respective career path, then nobody could care less that you majored in 14th Century Pottery.






If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.

Practice the art of radical exclusion with people who waste your time.

Count to ten before you say something you regret- and if you are still mad, count higher.






Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with books on algebra etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the creative bug is just a wee voice telling you, "I'd like my crayons back, please."

A PAIR OF MAD SUNGLASSES: They should be too mad to go on a date in, but just mad enough to feel liberated.






don’t drown in your own fear.

Ask for help. It’s possible you’ll get turned down. It’s even more likely that you’ll feel vulnerable and exposed. Do it anyway.
