c0ntemplations:

• don’t go somewhere uninvited. if they didn’t extend an invite, they don’t want you there enough and you don’t want to be somewhere you’re not welcome.
  
• always keep chapstick in your bag.
• when it comes to your employers or teachers, always leave things on a good note. and by that, i mean, write thank you notes. you never know when a contact will come in handy.
• don’t date a colleague. wherever it is you work, be it dunkin donuts or a big corporate office, it’s not a good idea. you’ll see them all the time - and that’s not a good thing, trust me.
• stop with the coffee. i know it’s a culture and it keeps you awake but maybe try sticking to a better sleeping schedule or drink some tea.
• say yes to dates. unless you’re completely repulsed by that person, a first date won’t kill you. at the very least, you’ve got a new friend.
• admit when you’re wrong. honestly, it’s the mature thing to do and people will respect you more. 
• some friendships have a timeline. you don’t want to think they do, but sadly, certain people are only in your life for a few chapters. let go when the time has come. 
• later on, you’ll realize that advice is arbitrary. you listen to people but in the end, it’s all on you. and you’ll be just fine, you’ve figured it out before, you can do it again.
