If you want to learn how to do something to help you get a job, college isn’t the way to go unless you’re going to work in academia, rich people’s inner circles, politics, or business.

Somewhere, you should keep a record of things like where you’ve worked, when you started, what the pay was, any raises (date started and amount), any promotions (with date and job title started), when you stopped working somewhere (and why, if you are able to figure it out), supervisors/managers (name, job title, possibly some way to contact them or the office they would have worked in). Turns out, people ask questions about this type of stuff when you start looking for work again. :newsflash-asshole:

You can become more flexible if you just casually stretch daily. I always thought I was just physically unable to touch my toes and that trying was a waste of time.

There are a lot of things about menstrual/reproductive health that I didn’t know until embarrassingly recently.

For example, birth control pills. I knew from sitcoms that they came in a 28-day cycle, but I assumed that was because the content of the pill was different depending on which part of the cycle it was. I didn’t know that, in a 28-day pack, the first 21 pills are the same and the last 7 are placebos.

I also didn’t realize that menstrual pads are meant to stick to the underwear, not directly to the skin.

I take some consolation in knowing that I still know more about reproductive health than the average US senator.

This is pretty inconsequential, but I thought Ben Kingsley was 100% white and his Ghandi performance was accepted because it was super respectful and well done and “it was a different time”.

As a kid I really struggled with the idea of an unreliable narrator. I remember reading The Telltale Heart and taking everything at face value.
