Wow, Good to Know!

Surprising but important bits of life knowledge everyone should hear.

Ever hear something and think, "Why the heck didn't anyone tell me that earlier?" Somehow, people assume you'll pick this stuff up by osmosis before you desperately need to know it. Since that's ridiculous, I'm giving some of my favorite tips straight to my college students (but I'll share them here, too). Thanks to everyone who has contributed ideas; if you have additional suggestions, let me know! (Also, have a look at my "Important Stuff Nobody Thought to Tell You (probably)" page for some similar but longer explorations on a more focused topic.)


Those are already trending in the direction of "general life advice" rather than the "Wow!" factor that I'm really aiming for here. But since people have shared some pretty good suggestions for that, too, I'll include a handful here.
