How to be Smarter: The best thing you can do for your own happiness level is to engage in the job that you do. Ask questions, think strategically, and befriend co-workers. These will all help you in your career path, but, perhaps more importantly, they will help you enjoy the place you spend 8 hours a day. And enjoying where you spend the majority of your day can make your whole life better.
How to be Prettier: Great video on blow-drying bangs.
How to be (less) Awkward: Don’t worry about who is prettier than you. You can’t control that anyways. Worry about whose more interesting than you. Because working to make your own life more interesting is the best remedy to jealousy, and in the process your whole world becomes more enjoyable–for you.
Good post, but I’m missing my Coffee with Molly emails! (FYI, “whose” should be “who’s”).
LOVE the awkward! great advice molly!
Very true with the smarter and prettier! I believe admiring someone for doing something interesting is much more important than admiring looks. I also miss having Coffee with you Molly!! (The emails
I like your point of focusing on being interesting versus pretty… But I would suggest to try to eliminate worrying about comparing ourselves to others at all! It’s not a competition and we could all benefit from focusing on being true to ourselves
Thanks for the grammar correction, Katy! And Katy and Liz–you should have just gotten a Coffee with Molly! And Hannah–as always, love your insightful comments
Happy Holidays all!! xo
My bangs air-dry all over the place! Very helpful
I did some snooping and found the lovely lady who wrote that blog has an interesting story about being ousted from a lead in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia because a relationship didn’t work out. http://www.mediaite.com/online/always-sunny-partly-cloudy-the-drama-behind-fxs-favorite-series/
Not trying to be gossip-y, I in fact found her story to be a very common event, and one many of us young women might have to face. Very insightful and she handled herself well I do believe! Molly, should we mix relationships and careers?
I love the (less) Awkward piece of advice this week! It’s a different spin on something I think a lot of people have a hard time dealing with.
Long time reader, first time commenter…I adore your (less) awkward tip today, so true and such a great mantra.
Wait, does this mean you have bangs? <3
