..According to Lilou Redon.

Building character is difficult and growth often comes slowly. If you are unsure of how to  develop your character, follow these simple 15 steps:

1. Survive Junior year.
2. Accidentally stumble into a fist fight and maybe get hit in the face.
3. Work in a field picking apples.
4. Be vegan for a month.
5. Jump off the Venice pier and live to tell the tale.
6. Wear shoes that are too small for a full day.
7. Eat beets.
8. Get a tooth removed and scream even if it doesn’t hurt.
9. Volunteer with elementary school kids.
10. Give your dog away.
11. Witness a Trump presidency.
12. Listen to a poem about Pluto written by your astronomy professor.
13. Drop your camera and shed a tear as the lense cracks.
14. Fall off a skateboard and damage your knee so that it is permanently numb.
15. Build a shelf (still in progress).

Disclaimer: I jumped off the Venice pier legally.
