What advice do you all have on general things to remember to do to stay out of trouble in life?

For example, change the battery in your smoke detector once a year, or clean the lint trap in your dryer or check your credit score etc. I'm creating a sort of manual to give to my son to help him out there in the real world. I know there are thousands of advice tips and I want to cover as many as possible. Thanks.

Any advice for how to learn to drive, when your absolutley terrified of driving?

I'm 21, and I still don't have a driver's license. In high school, I never had time to learn, and then I was in college and definitely didnt have the time. I'm now a senior in college, and even though I dont think I'll need to have a car once I graduate because I plan on moving to NYC, I still believe I may at some point need to drive. My younger sister got her license this summer;and so didmy boyfriend, so now I am the only one I know without a license. Ive been taking driving lessons for about a month and a half this summer, and now I have to go back to school, and I still havent taken the road tet. I just know Im not ready to pass the test yet, thats why I havent taken it. Its not that I dont want to drive, I just have an extreme fear of driving. I get like serious panic attacks if Im on the road for more then 15 minutes. Any advice as to how to overcome this fear and actually get my license and drive without being afraid of dying?

What advice do you have for an African American female trying to grow out a relaxer?

I would like a reply from other African Americans, please. I have had a relaxer for almost 11 years and have watched my hair become shorter and shorter over the years. I have had enough! What can I do? I know my natural hair is very thick and kinky. I am not willing to cut all my hair off and I don't want to get weave or braids. Once my relaxer is grown out, I plan on just using a hot comb to make it straight. Any other tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.
