To all the young ladies out there, here are some practical tips for living out your best life:
  1. Don't get into a car with a stranger unless it's your Uber driver.
  2. If someone doesn't like you, it's their loss, not yours.
  3. Never date a loser out of sympathy.
  4. It has been said, "Don't spend more than $10 on mascara", but I say, "Don't spend more than $4.99 on mascara."
  5. The first time you wear a new pair of shoes, bring bandaids in your purse.
  6. Always carry a pen with you.

  9. Your dignity is not measured in inches around your waste.
  10. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

  28. Don't give cheaters a second chance to break your heart.
  29. When entering the workforce, it's okay to not be particularly good at anything. You're just starting out, and you have the rest of your life to figure out what you do best.
  30. Smile every day!

First off, we need something that involves us more.  Human beings are not made to sit and do nothing.  We are mea...
