How to be successful in life?

Most schools don't offer a straight to the facts class on how to be successful. In an age where doing well is such a big thing for most people, in order to live comfortably it's important to pass down the knowledge to those who may not know. In the twenty years of living that I've done I've obviously amassed an enormous amount of information on basically everything so it's practically my civic duty to information-vomit some advice on how to make it in the world. Without further ado here is five tips on how to be successful.


1. Have a Facebook

Being connected to the world is essential. How else will people judge you find you? Make sure that your information is put up so that people can get the best first impression. A really neat bonus tip here is to put down hobbies that you think are cool but you're too lazy or scared to actually do them. "Scaling cliffs is my passion" people will think you're so cool and then want to hire you. You may think that that is lying but this isn't an article on how to not lie so keep reading or stop here.There's nothing more to a person other than what they have on their social media so put a lot of effort into that. When trying to make it into the world just send friend requests to the it-people; role models, possible bosses, and strangers alike. Chances are you found this article through the facebook account you already have so good job you're already part way there.


2. Claim You Have The Job

How cool another tip that involves lying! Pam Halpert made a great move in the show "The Office". When the company was bought out by a larger company and there was confusion on who was the office manager she just said it was her. Claim to have a job because it seems like people are too lazy to check into it further. I know what you're thinking: "Chase that's lying", "This is literally so illegal", "This is terrible advice" or even "I'm hungry". But what you should be thinking is "wow Chase, cool advice thanks" because in case you forgot I basically know everything. I am after all a local expert at the department of knowing human behavior based at the Pentagon.


3. Reject Society

If you frequent my articles you know this is almost always a viable option. Reject society and write your own rules. Live in the wilderness and live by the land, no one can tell you you're a failure if there isn't anyone around. You'll be the most successful person you know if you're the only person you know. The only possible reason you won't be successful is if you die so I'd say the chances are in your favor unless you really suck at camping.


4. Work Really Hard

5. Mind Control

Be your own boss as well as everyone else's. Channel all your stress and anxiety into pure mental power to obtain the ultimate control over people. Create your ideal situation and become successful. Of course the down side of this will be you'll never know if people actually like you or if you're forcing them to. But that's the risk you took when you threw away your humanity.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
