knowing how to change a tire

comes in handy when you hit a pothole and your tire explodes, and then again 15 minutes later when you hit another pothole and your spare explodes

learning to fix your car yourself

as someone with a 26 year old jeep cherokee, there have been lots of things that i've had go wrong with my car. when i lived back home, i got to just rely on my dad to fix it for me and never paid much attention. i knew the basics (changing tires, changing my oil, refilling various fluids) but when i looked under the hood nothing meant anything to me. now i live a 20 hour drive from home and am far too broke to be able to go to the mechanic all the time so, still very much with my dad's guidance over facetime and him sending me youtube videos, i've learned to fix a lot of stuff on my own. i've changed my oil at my apartment in the middle of the city, changed my belt, replaced sensors, fixed my battery, etc. i still have no idea what i'm doing most of the time and don't know the names of most of the parts, but i always feel so satisfied after successfully fixing something. my dear jeep frederick may be old and beat up and likes to break down on me frequently, but we're in this together 🫶🏻

Most tire places will do it for free

Doing it yourself is wicked easy. But sometimes if the stars align (eg I pass a car place before a gas station), I’ll just ask an auto shop if they can add air for me. They almost always say yes with no wait.

accepting that you’re not trendy and cool

tried reading dante alighieri’s inferno. key emphasis on tried. i got bored and realised a story written in poem form is not my typa beat. i tried because it seemed like what all the indie hipsters who are well versed would read, and that i would look cool and niche—but it just cost me $25. i prefer crazy detailed paragraphs rather than a line by line story. anyways

stop saying “i’m sick”!!

saying “i’m sick” when you’re sick is boring. instead, here are some more funky fresh and cool ways to disclose that your immune system has been highjacked (it’s time to revive these sayings from the dead!): “i am indisposed” “i am taken ill” “i am feeling out of sorts” “i am suffering from a bilious attack” “i have been seized by an ague” “i am afflicted with a malaise” “i have taken to my bed” “the vapours have overcome me” “i have a touch of the influenza” “the rheumatism plagues me” “i am laid low with a fever” “i am afflicted with a troublesome ailment” you’re welcome
