"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yes, so does exercise, a healthy diet, and regular flossing. Your body isn't a dumpster, treat it well and it will treat you well.

The only benefit from drinking ALOT(1gallon+ a day) of water that I know of is flushing all the soduim out of your body. Good question though,I'm looking forward to others' responses.

"Drinking Water is Heart-Healthy

The findings of a six-year study of more than 20,000 healthy men and women aged 38-100 in the May 1, 2002 American Journal of Epidemiology found that women who drank more than five glasses of water a day were 41% less likely to die from a heart attack during the study period than those who drank less than two glasses. The protective effect of water was even greater in men."

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If you flush all the sodium in your body, you'll kinda... y'know... die?

While it is true that more water will regularize the amount of sodium in the body, it's far from being the only benefit. Water helps the body get rid of all sorts of toxins and keeps your metabolism--from the cellular level up--running fine.

The problem with drinking too much water is only liable to happen during, say, a marathon... and that's if you only drink plain water.

So unless you drink gallons upon gallons of water every single day and sweat like a pig (thus losing electrolytes) or exercise a lot, it's doubtful you'd get water poisonning. I'd think most people would be smart enough to replenish their electrolytes when the need arises. At least, I'd really like to believe that.

Classic, classic med school scenario. Water poisoning. Just recently in the news too. Some woman was water poisoned from a radio gag. The result? DEATH
Yeah but she drank 2 gallons of water in less than 4 hours, without going to the toilet.
