Life Advice
● Buy a plunger before you
need
a plunger.
● It takes nothing extra out of your day to be nice, especially to people who could
really use it. You can absolutely change the course of their day with a smile and
a kind word (I was a jackass in HS)
● If you choose to go to college, your degree matters. With the job market the way
it is, it’s a lot harder to be employed with a degree in Viking History. There are a
lot of communication and art history majors working retail.
● Parents are not always right, but you have to live with them, so suck it up.
They’re usually looking out for you, though, so try and cut them some slack.
● High school drama does not matter. The second you graduation, all those cliques
and social pressures fall away and you’ll look around at a bunch of scared kids
who realize they have to actually do something with their lives now.
● Don’t get so hung up on your first relationship.
● Don’t screw with people who serve your food.
● Never pass up an opportunity to use the bathroom, or learn something new.
● Don’t speed, that extra 3 minutes you save in drive time isn’t worth the
consequences in insurance costs. Better to be a little late in this late, than early
in the next.
● The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our
behindthescenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.
● Don’t drink and drive. If you’ve had something to drink and you feel like driving
home, call me, tweet me, slide into my DMs, whatever. Call someone you know.
But my wife and my daughter could be on the road and I’d gladly help get you
home to keep them and yourself self.
● Take a job where you can learn something.
● I never lose, I either win or I learn.
● Give yourself options.
● Spend the extra money if you are ever buying anything that separates you from
the ground. Shoes, mattress, tires, etc.
● If you’re having trouble making a decision, flip a coin, because often the moment
it’s in the air you’ll suddenly will know what you’re hoping for.
● Don’t feel the need to oneup people, socializing is not a competition.
● Talk to someone if you are dealing with emotions or problems or depression. The
more you talk about your pain, the more exposure it’ll have, and the more
desensitized you will become to it. You get used to it, it becomes less painful.
The more you talk about it, the faster you’ll get used to it and recover.
● What you do today is important. You are exchanging a day of your life for it.
○ This is the beginning of a new day. I have been given this day to use as I
will. What I do today is important, because I’m exchanging a new day of
my life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever. Leaving
in its place whatever I have traded for it. I pledge to myself: That it shall be
for gain, good, and success, In order that I shall not regret the price I paid
for this day."
I have thoroughly enjoyed having you. I take my position as a teacher very seriously. I
went into this job because I remember what it was like being in your shoes, I want to be
a positive influence in a sea of negative ones. If you ever need ANYTHING, someone to
talk to, a job recommendation, a reference letter, testify on your behalf, I am here. I will
always be here. Long after you leave Midway, long after I leave Midway, I am still your
teacher and I will ALWAYS go to bat for you. Always.
