These are some things I'll never ever do again:

1. I’ll never squirt ketchup directly onto my hotdog again without shaking the bottle prior to the squirting.

I could go my whole life without ketchup juice and I’m sure we can all agree.

2. I’ll never grab a hot pan with my bare hands again. I probably will.

You're really getting what you pay for when you pay $7 for an entire fifth.

5. I’ll never “test” the expired milk again.

It's something I've had to learn over time but if you turn in crap work you're going to receive a crap grade.

9. I’ll never fight via texting/social media.

Save the drama and don't waste your time.

10. I’ll never drink (2) Monster energy drinks back to back ever again.

There are too many reasons why you shouldn't drink one of these.

11. I’ll never keep someone in my life who treats me horribly.

I refuse to waste time on those who could care less about me.

12. I’ll never buy off brand q-tips.

17. I’ll never go to the Whiskey Barrell again.

Not only because it's terrible but because it's closed for business.

18. I’ll never box-dye my hair. Again, I probably will.

I'm starting to notice a trend.

22. I’ll never be quiet.

I'm a journalist. It's my job to speak for those who cannot be heard. I refuse to stay silent.

23. I’ll never judge someone based on their appearance.

24. I’ll never watch Wolf Of Wall Street with my dad again.

25. I’ll never care what people think.

It's true when they say life is so much easier when you stop caring so much about what others think about you.
