I'd also say that you should be planning for your career after college while you're still in college. Meaning, get on the ball about applying for internships, interviewing people who have jobs that you're interested in having, maybe even asking someone to mentor you, and all that jazz. The sooner you get working on this the better. It'll pay off when you graduate.

I used a variation on #2... my parents were able to foot the bill for college due to the fact that an older family friend left them all their money after he died. I taped a photo of him to my desk and wrote "[name redacted] says do your homework!" on it.

YES to #2. I had a sign above my desk that said, "There are 41,480 reasons why you should do your homework."

Mostly I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little, not even at all.

Look, avocado is no cheese, but it definitely amps up a burger or sandwich. Soy milk is surprisingly sweet and yummy in coffee.

@wearitcounts noooo, the elderlies/kiddos/healthcare workers/pregnant women/otherwise immunocompromised groups who may not be able to get vaccinations need you to get your flu shot (if you don't have an egg allergy, which you should get checked if you can afford it; if you do have an egg allergy you can get the anti-flu nasal spray [Fluad] which is not contraindicated for egg allergies) because it provides them with protection by herd immunity. and now your friendly local healthcare student will stop with the run-on sentences and show herself out.

@AlliNYC I initially read this as "wheel of Brie" and then went back and saw "wedge," and thought, "Oh, only a WEDGE? That's like, BARELY excessive at all."
