snapdragon76I came across this while browsing the interwebs and thought it very insightful. You might too.
Original post.
Not cutting it because it's not super huge.
1. Champagne, vodka, gin and beer don’t mix well.
2. If he never calls before 11 p.m., he’s not interested in a real relationship.
3. “Comfort” and “security” aren’t big enough reasons to stay with someone.
4. Guys don’t care about — or even notice — those 10 extra pounds.
5. Love is rarely packaged the way you expect it to be.
6. It’s generally much kinder to be direct with someone than pussy-foot around the truth in order to spare feelings.
7. One of the biggest keys to making friendships last is being flexible in your expectations.
8. If your happiness with someone is contingent on one little thing he or she needs to change, cut your losses and move on.
9. If you don’t have the money to pay cash for it, don’t buy it.
10. Box dye jobs look like box dye jobs (especially if you’re going for red).
11. If his friends hate you, your days together are probably numbered.
12. Relationships are not supposed to be hard in the beginning.
13. If he says he doesn’t want a relationship, he really means it.
14. Eyebrows really don’t grow back if they’re overly tweezed.
15. Nude underwear is really the only acceptable color to wear under white pants.
16. This moment — however good or bad it is — will be just a blip on the radar two years from now.
17. If he seems obsessed with his ex, he probably is.
18. Holding a grudge is bad for your back (and soul).
19. When a vet says your cat has cancer, get a second opinion before you let him operate.
20. A teaspoon is not the same thing as a tablespoon.
21. Buying it one size too small won’t make you lose weight any faster.
Plus a few more:
1. Therapy isn’t just for people who think they’re crazy.
2. Most people experience bouts of loneliness, sadness, confusion and insecurity, too (no matter how strong or put-together they seem).
3. If you hate your job, quit ... but not before you have another one lined up (or enough money to float you for many months).
4. Judging other people’s decisions is not the best way to validate your own.
5. Sleep, water, and sunscreen: cheaper than Botox and more effective than makeup.
6. New Year’s Eve is pretty overrated.
7. Mom and Dad don’t always know best.
8. Toothpaste makes a wonderful overnight zit cream.
9. If you can’t imagine kissing him, don’t bother going out with him “just to make sure there isn’t something there.”
10. A good haircut is worth the expense.
11. The price of owning a car is typically three to five times what you pay for it when you buy it.
12. Two glasses of water after a night of drinking will save your ass the next morning.
13. If it fits you perfectly and you love it, buy two. (But three if it’s on sale!)
14. It’s never as good as the first time.
15. Internet comments are rarely about the person being responded to.
16. A smile can make you look at least five years younger.
17. If you suddenly look five pounds heavier, you might need a new bra more than a new diet.
18. Seriously, you don’t need a relationship to be happy.
19. Washing your face before bed is a must.
20. Sometimes, keeping the peace is so much better than being right.
21. If it’s important, don’t say it in an email.
