Things to Fix

Here's just a list of things I feel I need to fix about myself lately. There are many, and I just want to remember them in order to stay accountable. I know I'll never be perfect, but it's always good to improve oneself, right?

1) Stop saying "I swear to God." I should never swear to anything, especially God. And usually when I say this I'm just joking around, and there are many other things I could say BESIDES this.

2) Stop getting irritated with people for doing things I normally do. That's hypocritical and stupid. Like when I trip over someone's shoes that were left in the middle of the floor, and get pissed, and then realize that my roommate tripped over MY shoes just yesterday. -_-

3) STOP STALKING PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK. And by that I mean, stop spending hours of your life on this ridiculous website that only works half the time.

4) Stop exaggerating stories. It gets to the point where I'm pretty much lying. Somehow or another I boasted to someone I had been to a Mastodon concert, when really what I MEANT was that Fall of Troy had a song called Mastodon. How did I even get from one idea to the other? I DON'T KNOW.

5) Stop being a hater. Men are NOT all perverts, and women are NOT all gossips. That's the recent dose of cynicism talking.

6) Be nice to your friends even when they're not nice to you, and be EXTRA nice when they go out of their way to show they care. Friends are your family away from home. ^_^

7) Don't worry your parents by looking unkempt. If you don't brush your hair for a week, they will assume that you have no basic hygiene skills and ask you repeatedly if you do, in fact, shower.

8) Don't get mad at your parents when they say things like this.

9) Start applying what you have learned in the past year or so about God and people. Don't be afraid to step out on your own; you need to make your own path, because no one's gonna do it for you. But DON'T get overconfident and cocky, you're still learning. And DON'T get meek and quiet and withdrawn, because you already look like an anti-social computer nerd who only prefers the company of like-minded and non-threatening people.

That's all for now. I'm sure I will think of more.
