An old boyfriend once told me,

when it came to coming up with ideas for our school assignments,

“When you don’t know what to do — go meta.”

And even though I now hate him as a person, it’s some pretty good advice that’s lasted me. It’s part of a mental list I’ve been compiling for the last few years called “Random Practical Knowledge I’ve Learned from My Exes.”

Also on this list:

  • if you fold your laundry as soon as you get it from the dryer, your clothes will keep from wrinkling
  • ordering two chicken snack wraps from McDonald’s is cheaper than ordering a chicken burger and just as filling
  • putting moisturizer on your legs after shaving will keep them from getting red and itchy
  • the 106 York University bus drops you off right in front of the Seneca building at York. I used that route everyday for two years.
