There’s nothing quite like finding out your blog has ceased working due to you not renewing the domain, that makes you come back from yet another hiatus. I have like, no excuses, and will chalk my absence due to plain old lack of inspiration to write. But at last, here I am, squeezing in my end of the year post (see last year’s here) on the last day of January.

11. Help others always. And don’t brag about that shit on Facebook.

10. If you can get past the naked straddling of construction equipment, it’s actually a pretty song:

9. Instagram has proven that teenagers represent the worst of human society. There is no need for that many selfies with that many Taylor Swift lyrics.

8. Though we’d like to believe otherwise, often times, life is not a meritocracy. It’s nice to believe that you’ll get to where you want to be by hard work alone (and you should certainly possess a strong work ethic), but more often than than not, life is about the who you know rather than the what. Nepotism and sycophancy will be ubiquitous. You can be doing everything right, but getting nowhere because the system is inherently rigged. Don’t be sucker and learn to play the game.

7. It’s totally fine if you’ve lived nearly three decades of life and still find fart/poop jokes funny.

6. It’s also totally fine if you have random breakdowns of “OH GODDDDD WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIIIIIIFFFEEE” every once in awhile. Cry hard. Cry ugly. Then wipe your face of snot and carry on with the rest of your day.

5. If you are over the age of 18 and you forget about time zone differences, you are a fucking idiot.

4. How does any man compete whilst Idris Elba exists*?

*Except you Boyfriend, of course, you’re my number one hunk.

3. Let people know you appreciate their presence in your life.

2. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
