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

lol @ my joke


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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
