    They'll appreciate the thought.

    1. Get home at a responsible hour so no one worries about you.

    2. Eat three square meals a day, for at least a week. Being regular is important.

    3. Don't take that last shot of tequila for once. Everyone will thank you for it.

    4. Bring an extra sweater with you everywhere you go.

    5. Bake THEM cookies for a change. (Bonus points if they're not from a tube, but any effort will be appreciated.)

    6. Not call to complain about the total Zero you're having dating problems with. Also, maybe stop dating that loser.

    7. Only text at reasonable hours of the day.

    8. Wear comfortable shoes for once. Blisters aren't fun for anyone.

    11. Only have one cup of coffee each day, so your bodily functions don't just collapse.

    17. Use coupons more frequently. Yes, Groupons count.

    18. Watch a documentary on Netflix instead of Scandal. Just mix things up a little.

    19. Refrain from making fun of them when they talk to a dog at a party. The dog is probably way cooler than everyone else anyway.

    21. Keep any doctor's appointments you might've made.

    22. Call your actual mother for once. She probably misses you.
