“A beer” should be considered 12oz or more. Anything less is only “some beer.”
Don’t take the things you see everyday for granted. Even surrounded by natural beauty, many people of Iceland wish they only had trees.
If you say “hi” to someone you pass on the street, 95% of the time, they’ll reciprocate, and you’ll both walk away feeling just a little bit better. Forget that other 5% of people.
Only eat half of that space cake. Really.
If you don’t jump (off of a cliff in Greece, out of a plane in Switzerland, or a metaphor of your choosing), you’ll always wish you had.

Your musings will become a whole hell of a lot more pretentious after taking the cliche (but still romantic) 3-month backpacking trip through Europe. Oops.
