1. When I was doing my masters, a student friend of mine taught me a life long lesson. She was a charming sort, always quick to smile, and very focused on her studies. Good Folk. The lesson?
Whenever we’d be hanging out and someone would start to tell a story that wasn’t particularly entertaining and/or necessary, she would throw her head back and yell, “Don’t Care!!!”
Like straight up, “DOOOOOOoooooooonnn’t CAAAARE!!!!
It was amazing. She refused to waste another precious second of her life on planet earth. Yet, she did it with such good humor that the offending storyteller had no other recourse than to smile shyly and end the boring story to which we were all being subjected.
