Advice for my Fellow Quarter-Lifers

If I had to make a list of advice for my fellow Quarter-Lifers for thriving in their 20s, it would include the following:

  • Always carry a nail file on you. You'll always need it and there's nothing more unsightly than uneven, chipped nails
  • Be sure to glance in a mirror after lunch and make sure there's no lunch stuck in your teeth (perhaps consider carrying floss right next to your nail file...)
  • Throw some lip gloss in your bag. Even if you're half asleep, hungover, or more pale than a ghost, some lip gloss can perk up your face for that very important meeting
  • Hmmm seems like this list is geared toward female Quarter-Lifers....
  • Have a calendar easily accessible at all times. With so many work and social obligations (ok--mostly social...), a calendar is key! I'd recommend your cell phone calendar if possible
  • Always have wine at home. You never know who will pop over and you don't want your guests to be thirsty. Or if you need to go somewhere and bring a gift, wine is always a hit!
  • If you're feeling cranky and are annoyed with the world--exercise! It makes you feel better instantly and will give you a better outlook on life!
