This thank you list is about the tiny gestures or habits that people have either shared with me or that I’ve noticed them practice. It’s not about major, life-changing concepts that have changed me. Rather, it’s about all of the small things from other people that rub off on us whether we like them or not . I’ve been wanting to write this for a long time and will continue to add to it as I think of things.
Thanks to…
Aubriel Rivera, I don’t mix my powder-based pre workout supplements with water. Instead, I take it straight and guzzle down water after like I would with a pill.
Carlos Valdes, I started using digital photos of textures in my multimedia work.
Chris Buhner, I shade in circles to hide the line strokes in my drawings
Danelle Pilapil, I keep a nail cutter in my sports/gym bag
Glenn Fajota, I prefer black coffee (less calories)
Joe Santorum, I drink my soup from a mug instead of using a bowl and spoon
Jennifer Santorum, I let cooked meat “rest” for a few minutes to keep the juices inside
Kimberly Nguyen, I don’t put bottom eyeliner on for daily wear
Krisjantzen Nario, I listen to lo-fi music to help me concentrate on my work.
Manuel Matel, I pull out charging cables from outlets that aren’t actively charging anything to avoid wasting energy
Maria Camia, I can’t say I’ve done it since college, but I learned about cooking eggs in a microwave from her lol
Marina Matel, When cleaning I make sure to comb the tassels of rugs straight
Melanie Matel, I put spinach in many of my pasta dishes

Royln Robinson, I keep in mind that if you don’t turn your Bluetooth signal off while you’re traveling your phone will always be searching for a WiFi source to connect to, thus draining your battery.
Sarah Rillon, I put smudge my bottom eyeliner for late night, glam looks
Sharmaine Placides, If I need an extra energy boost I chug a cup of coffee and take a 10 - 15 min power nap right after. That gives the caffeine time to settle in I feel more energized.
