Living life on the edge

I present to you few of the ways you can sprinkle some excitement over your tedious life and get those adrenal glands working.

1. Don't eat your vegetables.

2. Mix hot sauce with ice-cream.

3. My favourite is going an entire day without glasses. I have pretty bad eye sight and I actually went almost a year without wearing my glasses because it seemed to me that I looked better without it. But the truth was I just have a really bad eye sight. Ergo, I had a year of not being able to find my friends in the crowd and staring at blurred blackboards in class. So, yeah kids you can say I'm sort of a daredevil. 

4. You can sleep in class sitting on the first bench (Is this something that I've done or not? Find out on the next episode).

5. Just stop showering for a while. Compete with your friends to see who can go the longest without showering. 

6. Make everyday "take your favourite stuffed toy to school" day.

7. Add all your family members on Facebook and share posts without customising anything. 

8. Leave your personal diary out in the open. The fun part is not knowing whose hands they might fall into. Will your bua read it? Or will your mom?

9. Sleep without your blanket at night and leave your ankles out hanging, ready to be grabbed by the night demon.

10. Go for a nightly stroll on the roof, alone, at 3 AM.

11. In a restaurant, take the free ketchup packets they give you and put them in your bag. Then ask for more and put them in your bag as well and keep asking for more every 10 minutes until you are explicitly told that you won't be given any more ketchup. Now you have a month's supply of free ketchup. You're welcome.

12. When you're watching TV with your parents and a *ahem* scene comes on, don't change the channel. Just stare at your parents without blinking. 

13. Buy a new book and then tear out a good deal of the middle portion. Now read the book. 

14. New friendships are difficult. Why not break the ice by telling them all about your past traumas and exactly how that one particular incident in 3rd grade shaped you as a person? If it doesn't scare away the person then you've got a friend for life.

15. Live in Uttara.

If you follow these steps you will no longer whine about how your life is not exciting enough. So, again, you're welcome.
