Five Mental Health Tips That Won’t Help as Much as a Tall Glass of Cough Syrup

Connect with your spiritual side Whether or not you identify as religious, connecting with your personal sense of spirituality can help you find peace, belonging, and a sense of purpose. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, spiritual practices like worship and prayer can lead to a wide range of mental health benefits. So if you're into that stuff, go for it--or save yourself a decade of spiritual searching by downing a tall glass of cough syrup. Jesus, Buddha, Krishna--once the Robitussin hits you won't have to seek them out, they'll come to you.

How to Be an Old-Timey Governess

Replace a dead wife. The impetus for your governess services is due to the presence of a dead adult female partner. This is crucial, given that you will certainly develop a romantic relationship with the children’s father. The presence of a living female partner makes it difficult (though not impossible) to consummate such a relationship. There’s also no stopping this course of action because you are irresistible. You will be serving as a mother figure to the younger generation in the household. However, be prepared for statements such as “You’re not my real mom!” because you are not in fact the children’s real mom. She is dead or locked in the attic.

An Open Letter To The Person Who Asked Me What I’m Doing For The Summer As If I Didn’t Have To Work 

Summers are for children, college students, and adults who had the foresight to become teachers. It’s also for wealthy freewheeling adults, the kind who make enough money that they scamper off to Lisbon, Patagonia, and Burning Man every June, July, and August, but who somehow also work jobs that don’t mind they are gone most of the summer. Perhaps you have confused me for one of these “fun rich” types. I’m sorry to disappoint, but these multi-colored Tevas on my feet are my attempt to look hip for casual office Fridays, not for cruising the fjords of South America with my polycule.

Spritz on “Pizza Grease No. 5” for that authentic scent of a late-night cry-session over lukewarm pepperoni, or bathe in “Midnight Nuggies” that capture the ephemeral aroma of processed poultry and profound self-loathing. Bottles arrive precisely 45 minutes past promised delivery, are suspiciously warm, and are gently launched at your door by someone who now legitimately hates you.
