Join the kickball team even though halfway through your second season you don’t always know when to run and when to stay.  Take the class you’re vastly interested in yet vastly apprehensive about.  Go to the concert in another state when you have no idea where you’re going to sleep.  You’ll make connections on that team, learn how to write feature stories in that class, and you will sleep somewhere that night.  Do it all. No good story starts with, “I was sitting on the couch one night.”

Watching the life of an ex play out on social media is somewhat inescapable in the life of a millennial. You’re going to know if your ex got a new puppy with his current girlfriend or moved to San Fran or started a company or is growing his hair to man-bun length. Levels of sarcasm while expressing happiness for said exes will depend on a variety of factors from the relationship.
