Don’t Let Graduation Lock You Out

Never use your school email for personal stuff—like Netflix, Spotify, gaming accounts, or online shopping.

Why? Because the moment you graduate, that .edu address might get shut down forever. And once it's gone, resetting passwords or accessing those accounts becomes a nightmare.

Use a personal email you’ll always have access to, and future-you will thank you for it.

You’re Not Using Enough Toothpaste

Turns out most people use way too little toothpaste. Dentists recommend 1 to 1.5 grams per brushing (that’s about the size of a pea).

Why it matters: That extra bit of fluoride gives your teeth more time to bond and remineralize, which helps prevent cavities and keeps your enamel strong.

So next time you brush, go a little heavier—it’s a small habit that makes a big difference.

How to Get Over Social Anxiety

If social situations freak you out, start practicing in low-pressure places—like chatting with baristas, cashiers, or Uber drivers.

Try this 3-step trick:

1. Start with a shared moment (“Busy morning today, huh?”)

2. Add a quick follow-up (“Do you get slammed at this time every day?”)

3. End with a smile or thank you.

These micro-conversations build confidence like reps in a gym. Keep practicing, and soon it won’t feel awkward at all.
