25 Things They Should Have Taught Us In School

6. Shopping around for any big purchase is always the best decision, even if you fall head-over-heels for the first thing you see.

7. There is no reason to eat less than you actually want to eat while out to dinner because you want to impress someone or make them think you’re more dainty. They’re going to find out you eat entire large pizzas by yourself sometimes anyway.

8. Everyone wears their jeans at least five times before washing them, it’s perfectly okay and it doesn’t make you dirty.

9. Breaking up with someone is difficult and messy, but the best way to do it is always to be up-front and honest with them as soon as you know it’s over. Dragging it out may make it slightly less hard on you, but it makes it excruciating for the person you’re dumping.

10. Having a good handshake and a trustworthy smile will be one of your greatest professional assets. (In fact, there should have been a semester-long class in how to handle the first five minutes of any job interview.)
