I bought a fancy cookbook to become a "gourmet chef" this year, and my greatest achievement so far is successfully boiling water. The only thing I’ve mastered is the art of looking busy in the kitchen while actually Googling 'how to save burnt rice' for the third time this week.

If you’re ever feeling lost, try this: make a list of the three worst mistakes you've made in life. Then ask yourself, “Did I die from any of them?” Spoiler alert: You didn’t.
