seven random tips for happiness (in no particular order)

I.
an apple a day keeps the doctor away,
but if you don't have an apple
really ripe oranges will do the trick.

II.
never go to bed angry,
it makes your hair look funny when you wake up
and you will definitely have a bitter taste
in your mouth.
instead, take deep breaths, and try very hard
to accept that we are not always perfect.

III.
reminder!
thanksgiving can be celebrated
all 365 days of the year,
and you don't even have to
roast a turkey!

IV.
two words: hot chocolate.

V.
pay attention to pop culture:
you won't get into grad school
at harvard that way
but you will win
every game of charades.

VI.
speak another language,
even if you have to make it up
and don't worry so much about
your fluency:
remember, everyone speaks the
international language of gesture.

VII.
love.
as often,
as boldly,
and as recklessly as possible.
