Coffee
If one cup of coffee is not
enough,two won`t make you feel btter/more awake/ready to work. Because
after the second one, the idea of a third coffee seems tempting.And
after it you can do anything,exept for the things you`re supposed to
do.Or you will feel sleepy,but since you`ve had three cups of coffee
falling asleep will be physically impossible and probably not the most
reasonable option.
Note to students before finals week: Next time
you promise yourself you`re going to start studying earlier, do it, or
else there will be consequences. Like the coffee situation...
Home sweet home
No
matter how much you wanted to move out as a teenager,once you take this
step it`s inevitable to want to go back home for some time every once
in a while.
I mean, come on - there is always food,someone
else(mom) does the laundry and the cleaning.Plus,the entire atmosphere
reminds you of the times when you were a kid/teenager and the things you
used to worry about now seem funny compared to the problems you have to
deal with today.
Tollerance
As
tollerant and open-minded as you might be, living in a big city with a
lot of different nationalities will inevitably make you less inclined to
put up with cultural differences. Listening to loud conversations in an
unknown language from the table accross or in the subway gets old
really fast.Now imagine if the whole thing is combined with laughter and
strange looks at you.
Not to mention the judging looks one can
get for their looks,if their appearance doesn`t match somebody`s moral
standards. So aftermath: you start wondering "How can i tollerate
someone who can only show understanding for their own culture?" You
simply can`t.
"Better safe than sorry"
Check
things. Double check things. And by things i mean expiration dates on
the milk box,facts you use in arguments,dates on tickets,the alarm
before going to bed. Why? Because of the consequences. If you don`t
concider it important, try leaving the milk in the fridge for 4 weeks or
show up at the airport 40min. later to see what happens.
Whoever came up with "Better safe than sorry" had obviously been sorry one too many times.
"Last moment" inspiration
Last
moment things always turn out to be the best. And i don`t only mean
meeting someone 5min. after you`ve arranged it or deciding on doing
something new and just starting it.Last moment school or work projects
are the best you can make. Sure,taking your time, collecting information
and prepairing things can help you succeed,but nothing is more
motivating than that last night before the deadline. You can`t postpone
it anymore,so facing failure you become productive and probably more
creative than ever( stress helps improve brain performance).
But still... not everybody is good at that, you have to be born lazy...
Trouble
Problems
multiply.Just like bacteria. You wake up one day, something bad happens
or someone causes you trouble and there it goes. All sorts of small
things start going wrong. It`s like everything and everyone in the
universe is against you.
You`ve overslept and trying to make
coffee,but hey - there`s no coffee left,or even better: the coffee
machine breaks down. You are in a hurry to leave,so you lock yourself
out with the keys on some shelf inside.
You realise your project
deadline is tomorrow and you have barely done anything about it - you
get a surprise test or extra work in class.
It`s just like that
and it can`t really be explained. The only thing i can think of: yo u
face a problem,you get mad,so you "load"yourself with negative energy
and all the bad stuff is like: "Hey look at that guy, I can tell he`s
ready for us. Let`s go his way!"
Information
No
one ever tells you what you need to know. And what you need to know is
usually that there are a lot of extra things that you are obliged to do
or are responsible for.
So by not doing them you get into
trouble,don`t get what you were supposed to or never actually graduate
withing the six semesters deceivingly announced on your university`s
webpage.
Therefore, one of the most useful thing in life you should learn to do is ask questions(of course not stupid ones!).
