Are You Really Happy? Maybe is Time to Reconsider the Company You Keep.
“You are the average of the five people with whom you spend the most time.” I found that quote in the book “What if It All Goes Right,” by my friend and teacher Mendhi Audlin. The first time I read it, I felt like crying. You see, much as I love my friends, I did not want to be them. One put a lot of pressure on herself to get married, and now was continually complaining about her husband, even though the guy is exactly the same man he was as a boyfriend. Another caught herself responding to a Facebook post with “men are shit,” and it hit her that she was single for a reason. A third one got a second DUI but refused to assume any responsibility about it, blaming an empty stomach and racist neighbors for the police pulling her over. Shit. Until that moment, I had been pretty assured about my friends because they are academically smart, highly educated women. And yet, none consider themselves happy.

Accidental Public Nudity.
Have you ever had a bad dream where you are naked in public? I have not: my bad nightmares usually include being lost inside a building that somehow has turned into a labyrinth. And yet, accidental public nudity is a nightmare that has found me in real life over and over again. Overall, the cringe-worthy moments of my life could be divided into two camps: strange encounters with horny animals and accidental nudity. I'll tell you now of the top three events on each one of those categories.
