25 and Over »

Great article that once you turn 25, it’s time to grow up. Some great, practical advice. A few:

1. Remember to write thank-you notes. When in doubt, write one anyway; better to err on the side of formality.

11. Do as invitations ask you. Don’t bring a guest when no such courtesy is extended. Don’t blow off an RSVP; it means “please respond,” and you should.

14. Have something to talk about besides college or your job.College is over. The war stories have their amusements, but not over and over and not at every gathering. Get a library card, go to the movies, participate in the world. Working is not living. Be interested so that you can be interesting.
