#1. Your spectacles should not be worn in the shower, and neither should your socks, whether they be adorned with tea cups or otherwise.
#2. You will likely slip on ice.
#3. You may think you are immune to the cold, but surprisingly, you aren’t! You will be chilled while wearing a knee-length pleated jean skirt and knee socks.
#4. Doing laundry when you consider wearing knee socks for the rest of the week is probably a very, very good idea.
#5. Take Tylenol after you get teeth pulled. Always. It may not really hurt when your head is half full of Novacaine, but let me tell you, IT WILL.
#6. Spectacles are not required during slumber.
#7. Fear Factor is on Monday nights at eight, while you are at orchestra rehearsal. You should record it. You know how much fun it is to gag at other people eating cockroaches.
#8. When you iPod says “Low Battery: 20% of battery remaining,” it’s not kidding. And when your phone screams “LOW BATTERY” at you, it REALLY, REALLY means it. Seriously, dear, go charge your phone.
#9. Listen to band’s songs before you download them and put them on your iPod. You might be surprised by how ABSOLUTELY AWFUL they are.
#10. Using a piggy bank as a hammer is rather ineffective.
#11. Putting your hair in twisty buns after your shower, while your hair is wet, will only prevent your hair from drying until the next day’s afternoon; it will not fulfill your five-year-old self’s dream of ringlets.
#12. Neither will braids.
#13. When you drop a thumbtack, the worst thing you could do to try finding it is patting the carpet in the general area you saw it fall, with your bare foot.
#14. Mascara wands are not compatible with different mascara bottles.
#15. Do not text while filming a video blog; all you’re really doing is creating thirty seconds that must be edited out of a half-hour long clip.
#16. Don’t chat on Facebook either, you know that’s just exactly the same thing. Honestly.
#17. The calluses on your fingers will disappear when you don’t play guitar for months.
#18. You cannot watch six musicals in a week.
#19. However, five may be plausible.
#20. No promises.
Much love, Ellie
