 #surviveToTheAgeOf25 
Drove abandoned sand roads through the Mojave Desert in a Honda Civic, inevitably got stuck, buried to the axles. Stranded next to an abandoned minivan from Virginia. No one comes down that road for a day and a half. No water. Can’t sleep at night for fear of losing everything. Finally rescued by a balloon-tired monster truck coming to check on minivan that they tell me has been there for months. Dragged back to paved road. Car still runs. I live long enough for the frontal cortex to mature.
