Education University isn’t everything. But it is something. Everyone I know in fancypants media London claims they burned through their time at their alma mater like a\u00a0packet of Rizlas, but I’m often the only person they know who didn’t go.
\nIt’s OK to be a nerd If nerds ran the world there would be no wars. Only unconvincing battle re-enactments in meticulously correct period costume.
\nLove Never date anyone who is rude to waiters. (Knowing this in advance could have prevented the poisoning of five years of my life.)
\nStyle Never buy anything to impress someone you don’t know. Never wear\u00a0a T-shirt with a\u00a0face on it that’s more attractive than yours. If you are ever going to wear a crop top, the time\u00a0is now.
\nSocialising All\u00a0the\u00a0good bits of a\u00a0night out happen before 2am. Don’t feel the need to stay up any later. Drugs have a\u00a0terrible rate of return: they make you ugly, boring and ill, in that order. (The legal ones are the worst.) When talking to someone you like, don’t be nonchalant. Be complimentary. Everyone likes compliments, except dickheads, and it’s usually politic to identify them as quickly as possible.
