Things you learn when you live away from home, wherever that may be:
1. To do your own nails. There's no point in paying an asian lady for a pedicure when you can invest some quality alone time on your nails. In the long run, this is more sanitary and affordable.
2. The internet is your best friend. Invest in a good internet connection for emails, movies/shows, instant messaging, video chatting and web browsing. This is the best way to keep in touch with busy, faraway friends in different time zones.
3. You need a pet, or a plant. Research shows that individuals who feel needed are happier. It is human to feel the need to care for something, it makes you feel better.
4. Collect take out menus for all neighborhood restaurants, especially the ones that deliver. Cooking for one is just pointless. You end up with economy-sized leftovers and eat the same meal for the entire week.
5. It's ok to go out by yourself. Everything you can do with someone else, you can do by yourself. Go to the movies, go shopping, take a walk, read a book at the park, go to the beach, eat out.
6. To write letters, the old-fashioned way. When was the last time you found something handwritten in your mailbox?
