• Do not delay doing the dishes. You'll regret not doing them the same day.

I hated scrubbing that week old oatmeal plate.

• Spend time with da bois!

We are on remote for about 2 years now and honestly, no memory in my life is as nice as the time I spent with my friends celebrating their birthday or something. Just know your limits on alcohol and don't fall for the peer pressure, unless you wanna puke your guts out.

• Make sure you have a place to dry clothes on, for example, a large enough radiator or a clothesline.

There will be that one time you massively fuck up and spill something on your clothes that you go to class in while not having spares. Or just generally wash your socks. I used to hang a shirt on a clothesline to block the lamp so I can sleep without getting my eyes burned out while my roommate needed light.

• (Optional) Pick up some basic soldering and repairing skills.

Christmas lights, charging cables, headphones and other stuff often fail at the connectors or stressed solder joints. It's the basic stuff that saves you money and time buying replacements or finding someone to repair it for you.

• Cook your own food. Massive money save and a potential health benefit.
