And seeing that most of us are like, mid to late 20s, thought it'll be beneficial to share some of these essential/face-saving/life-saving skills with you...it is a 315 pg book so i am not able to type/scan/copy all out to you (not forgetting copyright laws) but should you be interested in any skill, let me know and i'll show it to you. *insert smug face* hahaha
