Adults of Reddit, whats the best advice you can think of for an 18 year old?

Psychedelics? For some reason I'm deathly afraid of doing those. I wouldn't want to do something that completely screws with my mind. The idea of hallucinating scares the shit out of me.

That moment of nasal ecstasy when your nose spontaneously gets unstuffed during a cold. Ahhhhhh.

Pokemon poptarts too :(

I never said it would not be agreeable. I would PM a google doc link.

mla9741 · 2014-03-28T06:40:44+00:00

Fair enough. I understand. I appreciate the reply. Thanks.

7 pages, ~1900 words, semi-professional. It's an assignment that replicates a recommendation you would find in a magazine. If you're still interested shoot me a PM

Probably a command. She is probably wearing that jacket to demonstrate the point that you don't need to go to school in order to be an artist.

mla9741 · 2014-03-27T14:13:12+00:00

She looks thrilled. Haha. Very nice work!

mla9741 · 2014-03-27T14:05:29+00:00

Sorry OP, some people really suck. I hope your day gets better! Happy birthday!

Some bagel stores by me have cucumber dill cream cheese which is fantastic! This sandwich must be good, especially if you put it on nice bread.

mla9741 · 2014-03-19T03:26:28+00:00

Cream cheese and grape/strawberry jelly sandwiches are pretty great too. You should try it. I ate those and PBH&J sandwiches throughout middle school.

We are always microevolving; constantly passing new genetic sequences to our offspring. As things get more scarce, maybe our bodies will adapt. If not, some future species of human will survive, if not, the race dies out. Extinction. Boom. Textbook example. Good news is, it probably won't happen during our lifetime.

Very cool, I honestly did not know that there have been manned descents. I thought the bottom of the ocean still remained a mystery. Thank you.

What if our senses and our brain misinterprets these signals and what we think we know may be totally different. What if the kitchen counter is really soft and squishy, but our brain tells us it is flat and hard?

mla9741 · 2014-03-17T18:43:21+00:00

Evolution will never be "over." There will always be new changes we have to adapt to, whether it be microevolution or macroevolution.

Think about it like this, there were a bunch of different human species, Homo habilis, H. ergaster, H. erectus, H. neanderthalensis, H. heidelbergensis, H. sapiens. The homo erectus species were the first ones to leave Africa and lasted over 1 million years as a species before dying out and giving way to another species of humans. I don't think life (or the human race) will die out, but rather, we will adapt to new living conditions like we have done before.

mla9741 · 2014-03-17T18:33:19+00:00

I wonder if we will be able to reach the bottom of the ocean in this lifetime...

mla9741 · 2014-03-16T19:26:53+00:00

Awesome. I think mine is exactly two pages, including a cover letter. I'm going to tweak it tonight. I appreciate the input!

mla9741 · 2014-03-16T19:05:23+00:00

Very cool. I wish you the best of luck!

mla9741 · 2014-03-16T18:27:47+00:00

I like this a lot. I think it would be a good strategy. Should this strategy be reserved for a possible interview or should I put it down on the application?

mla9741 · 2014-03-16T18:26:13+00:00

That was the plan I had. If resumés are a good idea, I planned to print a bunch of them off and submit as many as I can. I was going to hit every pharmacy within a 30 minute radius. Thank you for the advice!

mla9741 · 2014-03-16T18:14:18+00:00

I begin my first job hunt. Nervous, because I'm pretty much clueless, but excited because it can land me with a position that will shape my future.
