  1. It’s better to be kind than it is to be right.. again for the people in the cheap seats. IT IS BETTER TO BE KIND THAN IT IS TO BE RIGHT.
  2. Fail to plan, plan to fail.
  3. No matter how hard you try, at home mayo mustard combo will never taste the same as port of subs.

  5. Its okay to not love what everyone else loves. (I’m not just talking about Bruno Mars) 😉
  6. How someone treats you is usually more about them than it is about you. 
  7. Meal PREP and Meal PLANNING are different and meal planning saves lives. Also shout out to whoever invited grocery store pick up because that shit is life changing
  8. Eating somewhere new? Ask the waiter. Trust me, ask the waiter. 
  9. While we’re on the topic, be respectful to the waiter. I’m not saying tip a huge amount (but im sure that doesn’t hurt) but be respectful. Be kind when there’s a delay, be understanding if there are errors. 
  10. Trust the energy of the situation

  22. Spending time by yourself is lonely, healing, cathartic, and peaceful. 
  23. You can never take too many photos. 
  24. Those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind don’t matter.
  25. Listen more than you speak.
  26. Making friends as an adult is hard.

  28. A girls night/wine night can press the re-set button better than any nap or downtime.
