Plastics - Julia Wilson

I have learned a lot of things and been given very valuable advice. I'm going to list a couple:

- Eat where the locals go. When traveling it's easy to get sucked into tourist traps, especially in places like Florida. If you're looking for a good place to eat, eat somewhere that's popular amongst the locals, because why would they go somewhere that sucks? Avoid the Bubba Gump Shrimps, Hard Rock Cafes, etc. if you're looking for a great, reasonably priced meal.

- If a street performer is good enough to make you stop and watch/listen, they deserve a tip.

- Worrying isn't going to ever better any situation. It's only going to make you feel worse.

- Enjoy each day. It's easy to live life in a "looking forward to" state of mind. But doing that just wastes away your regular days. Look for the positive in each day and make the most of your time.

- Be nice to people, no matter who it is. Being on good terms with people opens up the doors to so many opportunities.

- Enjoy the physical world. It's easy to get caught up in your phone and the internet, but make sure that you still have real conversations with people and experience real things outside of a screen.
