Derek Sivers: How to start a movement. Bill Connolly Fuck Off. How to be a 20-Something. Be really attractive. Your acne is gone, your face has matured without having wrinkles and everything on your body is lifted naturally. Eat bagels seven days a week, binge-drink and do drugs: you’ll still look like a babe. When you turn thirty, it’ll become a different story but that’s, like, not for a really long time. Reestablish a relationship with your parents. You don’t live with them anymore (hopefully) so start to appreciate them as human beings with thoughts, flaws and feelings rather than soulless life ruiners who won’t let you borrow their car. Go from eating delicious food at your parents’ house to eating Ragu tomato sauce over Barilla noodles. Develop an eating disorder to save money. Move into an apartment on the corner of Overpriced and Dangerous. “Date people who you know you’ll never be able to love.” Read the New York Times piece, “What Is It About 20-Somethings?”

Work at a coffee shop but feel hopeful about your career in advertising, writing, whatever.
