I was on a Wikipedia binge today and found a fantastic little 1990s relic.

Baz Luhrmann: Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

This was a pop single in 1999, based on a 1997 Chicago Tribune column by Mary Schmich. Full of brilliant advice.

This got me thinking. What advice did I have from my experiences? What could I pass onto others?

What could others pass onto me?

A little hole later, and here we are. My piece of advice would be this:

Don't plan ahead too far, and don't plan into too much detail.

You are not a puppetmaster, no matter how much you might like to be one. Somewhere and sometime, something is going to come along which ruins your entire plans. I have just warned you about it, but you won't see it coming.

What advice do you other Bulbagardeners have for each other?
 
Don't forget to put on pants before leaving your house. Or, if you're female, a dress or a skirt (or maybe even a male o_O).
 
Do not fall down the stairs during the first day of school.
 
When visiting Intercourse, Pennsylvania, watch out for the wet spots.

...Please tell me you're not speaking from experience. D=

Don't get insulted by name-calling.

Your friendly neighbourhood douchebag calls you (for the sake of argument) a gay. Now, there are two possible outcomes, here:
1) You are gay. He's stated a fact, there's no point in getting insulted.
2) You aren't. He's wrong, therefore to be insulted would make you look as stupid as him.

I like these. Hell, I'm starting to take 'asshole' as a compliment these days.

My piece of advice: The internet is serious business.
Any stating of facts that conflict with your personal opinions should be taken as a direct and deliberate attack on you and your views. Anyone who disagrees with you is sub-human filth who must be exterminated from the face of the planet and banished to the outer reaches of the galaxy, by means of making an equal or harsher attack on the initial offender and/or their mother.

...Well this could apply to more than just the internet but there. :D
 
Coping with stress is like lifting weights--it will make you stronger, if done properly.
 
Make sure that ALL of your clothes fit before starting school.
 
Don't snort the white powder you receive in the mail. It may not be what you think.
 
Don't mess up and call the teacher "mom" instead of "mamm".
