Stop there Satan, he said be competitive in something else, not be a slave or throw away your life for something else.

Don't let other people define you, be yourself

start saving for retirement

Hey kid. You're in for a bumpy, fantastic ride. You haven't had a lot of experiences yet. Many days may be the worst of your life. Many moments may be the best.

Remember that everything is transitory, including pain and suffering.

Your emotions are a map to who you are. It may take you a long time to figure out that your emotions are valid. However, feeling something does not mean you have to act.

Remember to be grateful for what you have when you have it: Safety, security, love, food, health, friendship, wonder, joy.

Nice. Thanks for that coupon idea

Rinsing with water gets a lot of the funk out. Detergent isn't good on your body, but if you wanted to get something like a shirt clean and smelling better a little laundry detergent to finish it off is fine. Sink is best place for smalls.

Body soap may have other additives depending on what you use that you don't want in clothes. Dr. Bronners is a pretty good all in one product for cleaning. People hiking the often use Dr Bronners for everything, including brushing teeth. check this article out

Go back, it's not much better out here

Senior year after my last competition I went to the wait room out of habit. I was lackadaisically going through some sets and then asked myself what I was doing in there. I didn’t have a goal so I walked out. But with the extra free time there was plenty of opportunity to get into physically recreational activities around campus. I enjoyed the fun in the sun and low pressure competition. In about a years time other challenges came across my plate that gave me goals to shoot for. Sometimes it’s someone at work being a crossfitter and inviting you or someone at work doing iron man. Or another coworker doing Jujitzu. All these things easily spark the competitive nature and give goals to train for. At this point focus on getting a career because they don’t hand those out like candy.

That's an amazing tip! I never thought of looking for promo codes on a search engine, but it makes sense that there would be discounts available. It's definitely worth a try next time I'm making a purchase.

I use freetaxusa and my last year filing was just like what you posted plus some. It was totally fine. Plus, it will pull info from previous years if you use it next year. You can get a coupon for 10% off your state return on retailmenot.com

Wow this is awful. Manipulative passive aggressive bs. Not just the advice itself but the fact that you would want people to follow this as a life hack.

i appreciate all these tax posts

Buckle up, buttercup

Go back inside. Everything is going down to shit.

It wasn’t a career if you didn’t support yourself with it and couldn’t make it past college. It was a competitive hobby. Continue doing it if you like it

Doesn't matter, he won't be able to understand anything for years.

Personally I would be sure to keep swimming. I played basketball and I finally figured out that what I missed was the social side, the camaraderie, the high fives and shit talk. I started playing in high end men’s leagues and I was surprised to find that I was a way better player at 30 than I was in college, and I enjoyed it more.

Yeah I graduated 2 years ago and just kinda fell out with swimming but I just went to my schools champs and they all did amazing especially my roommate who was at a very similar skill level. He made a nationals cut and was less than half a second off 2 other cuts. It was sad thinking that I should’ve been a part of the team this year but I graduated early… I told myself my only goal was to never say “what if…?” But now I’ve been thinking what if I had 3 more years of it? Covid fucked it up so I only had 1 year of collegiate swimming.

+1 for Brown sound

I'm not a fan of DC Comics to be honest
