  • The best thing I’ve ever spent money on in terms of quality of life:money spent was a washing machine on wheels, since the apartment we live in doesn’t have one. It’s the size of a regular washing machine, you just have to roll it over and hook it up to the sink for it to work. Every dish washed by hand is a travesty as far as I’m concerned. Free yourself if you can make the room for it.




  • If you’re only using them under your head you haven’t truly lived yet. Under the knees (or between the legs if you’re a side sleeper) will take pressure off your lower back. Then you need a cuddling pillow, and maybe a prop up to lean your back against pillow. And if you feel like one more you can also put one on top of your head to block out any light or noise.

    I keep one on top of my lower legs too, but that’s an emotional support pillow because that’s where my cat used to sleep before she passed.











  • I’m back in school at ~40, so you got back on track quicker than I did!

    Consult ratemyprofessor.com but don’t treat it like a bible, sometimes teachers with a strong personality get bad reviews. But if it’s mostly bad reviews that’s a red flag.

    Be SO unashamed to ask questions, nobody is taking these classes because they already know everything. Asking questions is a shortcut to showing you’re engaged and thinking, on top of it just helping you to understand something. If you’re wondering, someone else is too.

    If a teacher is an ass to you over this or anything else, you can usually withdraw from a class and get your money back in the first week or two of classes.

    Look for clubs you’re interested in and participate. Check out stuff that sounds interesting but you know nothing about. Maybe be a little on the look out for cults and multilevel marketing.

    Take the time to volunteer for a cause you feel strongly about. It doesn’t have to be a huge amount of time or every week, but it’s worth doing, and usually benefits whatever clubs you’re in.

    I consider myself introverted as well, it was scary to learn to do a lot of this stuff but I think it’s really worth pushing through the discomfort.
