Get travel size containers instead. While you're traveling light, you're also consuming a lot more space in your luggage.

Reply to comment by clearheadclearhearts in LPT: boil rice until it’s almost fully cooked, drain, then return to pan, cover and steam on low heat for 10 mins. Tastes much better than boiling, draining and serving. by circumlocutious
If you like grainy, drier rice, try the more expensive option of basmati and use a ratio of 1 to 1, with a splash more of water. Works like a charm. Jasmine doesn't cook thoroughly for me when I withold water from the ratio but you can achieve drier rice with Jasmine as well, I just think it's easier with Basmati.

Halve lengthways and position on the wall of small garages where the car doors will strike if opened by an enthusiastic child.

Go to the Bureau of Labor statistics website, BLS.gov. They have a lot of good information regarding career exploration. Also, most community college websites have career services and offer free online assessments that can guide you into a career. Normally, the only careers we consider are the ones we know about from parents or other relatives, or the ones we encounter most often. There are many we don’t encounter, literally tens of thousands of careers that we don’t know about. The BLS.gov assessments can help with interest inventories, and offer suggestions based on your results. You can look into them and maybe save a lot of money and time. I’d suggest you start there. Community colleges are really good yet often overlooked resources.

Perhaps you did not read the sidebar, specifically rule number six.

I believe it’s illegal in my state to have preteen children in the front seat? Everyone I know has them ride in back.

Stuff them under the couch/bed to stop things rolling under there.

The actual LPT is the second part. DO NOT DO THE FIRST PART _ if you're involved in an accident and the airbag is disabled your insurer is gonna destroy your life

A better pro tip is to use a freaking rice cooker.

Yeah this is really a bad idea. Don’t do this. Firstly if your kid does ride in front and somehow manages to survive a severe car accident, then forget about insurance as you fucked with the safety of the car. Second, if you do this then go see my first point.

I'd argue that networking in college is just as important as the things you want to do.
I'm not saying sacrifice all the stuff you want to do to build networks and have the friendship experiences, but the fact remains that the networks you build there will stay with you for quite a while. Shared experiences help build those networks
