There's No Sympathy for the Dead

Alexandra.

Pencils on the right side, pens on the left; make sure your right tail signal is always working before you drive; listen to the cop when he tells you to stop talking back; talk back when necessary; pay attention when the teacher tells you the homework at the end of the period, it isn't always going to be online, goodness, technology these days; don't drink too many sugary drinks, they make you unable to think straight; stay away from seedy men, they will take your dignity and your money; have the courage to change the things that can be changed, the serenity to accept the things you can't change, and know the difference between the two; pretend you know nothing when you're too lazy to do something yourself; suck in your stomach when going to a job interview; stand up straight!; take out the lint from the dryer, do you want the house to catch fire?; don't get married too young, see the world before you're tied down; once a man cheats, he'll always be a cheater; friends come and go just as much as boys, don't trust anyone; pull up your shirt!, you think a well-respecting college would accept you looking like that?; hang your shirts on the shower rod to get the wrinkles out; remember to flip through all the pictures when buying a car without a man with you; forget the health of your ears, they have hearing aids for a reason--listen to your music as loud as the speakers allow; hold your head high when walking down a hallway, even when everyone is sticking their feet out to watch you fall; be who you are when no one's watching, when people are watching; remember that people are always watching, always watching, always watching...
