"You will find leadership opportunities in many organizations."

"The love of your life will find true love as well. In someone else."

"Your studies will go well, but your career will change. This fortune will be far worse for you if you are attending a $30,000 institution, to which you won't want to add any more debt staying in school much longer for."

"Your friends will become your best friends and have been hand-picked by Christ to carry you through to His will."

"Love yourself when weakness seeks you. Try harder when you feel like succumbing."

"You will find people who love you for who you are, not what the world makes of you."

"Your money will be sucked up by the nation's downturn economy and you will have to deal with searching for a second job."

"Never tease an angry midget with a high-five."

"You will be hungry again in one hour."

I'll judge you.

Bill Nye

Meeting people at subways and in line at the register, is unfortunately (only sometimes) inevitable. We must prep ourselves for meeting that stranger who will judge us at first glance and be caught between the dislike and like button of our appearances. This doesn't just include physical, but personality traits that can help us attract other people, even when it's not for romantic attraction.

"Don't judge a book by its cover."

I'm sorry but I do. When the outside looks safe enough to look at then of course I am going to continue to read its content! If a person is wearing a pair of shorts that resemble a thong, then I might skip over it and pretty much say that you have decided to display yourself as a modern-day Manet portrait, you know, the ones who caused the huge scandals for having nude women? Yes, that is what you are. A great big splash of nakedness. So, number one: I notice if a person is wearing the appropriate attire to the pertaining occasion. Walmart=possible sweats and a t-shirt. Club=dress that hugs more than your curves. Dress that hugs more than your curves does not equal Walmart.
Number two: I notice how well they speak to you. If they catch your attention, that must mean that they are using the correct grammatical language without trying to sound like Bill Nye the Science Guy. e.g. Example of a good salutation and how the weather is outside: "Hello! Did you notice the weather outside? It seems quite pleasant. The rain sure washed those dirt spots off my car!" Example of a poor salutation: "Yo. How ya doin' my shizzy fa shizzy? Wha? Oh na dude. This f***** rain irritates the s*** out of me. You're pretty." Example of a Bill Nye overly-thought out salutation with a careless and annoyed audience: "Bonjour! Oh, that's just French for 'hello.' How are you doing? The weather? Oh yes, I noticed the consuming air density surrounding my motor vehicle that I happened to park outside next to the legal pedestrian sign in order for me to walk at a quicker pace so that my new wardrobe was not defiled by the condensation in the air. It's so hyetal!"

Number three: Their smile. Yes, I notice peoples' smiles. I absolutely melt when I see an amazing smile on a person's face! They may be Bill Nye, but I will continue to stare below their nose as long as it's a good feature! Well, there is nothing much to say about this last part. It either is good or it isn't.

The book that will solve everything, from putting your socks on to knowing how to kiss without sin.

You Just Don't Get It.
A book on long-distance relationships from the perspective of three young adults. Different, cities, states, and countries. And on how we women, are always right. This is not a pre-menstrual statement, by the way.
