10 Important Ways To Survive Your Twenties, As Told By Grace Helbig

It’s all fun and games until you realized you have actual taxes to pay. Thankfully, Grace Helbig, YouTube star and new author of Grace's Guide, is here to help you gently enter adulthood.

1. For when you need to get through a breakup, don’t try to fight it.

2. Walk(s) of shame are nothing to pity yourself over.

3. Owning a pet can be scary and rewarding.

4. Having to go through the pain of small talk isn’t fun, but it goes more smoothly if you get people talkin’ about themselves.

5. Living with roommates can be tricky…

6. …but it doesn’t have to be icky!

7. Exercising doesn’t have to be impossibly hard.

8. Facebook stalking is a fine art that should be done very carefully.

9. There’s no need to feel pressure about your Friday nights. Do with them what you will!

Grace's Guide by Grace Helbig is available now!

Indigo is taking over the Simon & Schuster Canada Tumblr today with an exclusive Q&A with comedian Grace Helbig, author of Grace's Guide.

1.      How did you find time to write this book?

To be honest, I have no idea. It happened in between creating weekly video content, releasing an independent film, and performing a live comedy tour. Sleep was that friend who kept asking me to hang out but I was all, “I can't tonight, how about next week?" And when we finally got reunited, we picked up exactly where we left off. Sleeping.

2.      What was your inspiration for writing your book?

I got into a phase of reading self-help books after I graduated college. Some were helpful and some took themselves too seriously. I wanted to write a self- help-esque book that was stupid and serious at the same time. Something that felt both conversational and informative. When you read it, I want it to feel like you're talking with a friend. Your friend who happens to be a 14-year-old trapped in a 29-year-old's body 

3.      Past Grace is given future Grace’s book but can only read one chapter. Which chapter would future Grace recommend past Grace to read? 

The chapter about handling anxiety. It was the most personal to write and the one I've gotten the most sincere feedback on so far. I haven't talked about my anxiety too openly before and it seems like it's definitely something a lot of people deal with in different ways. Anxiety is very trendy, y'all!  

4.      At what age do you think you’ll officially feel like a grown-up?

I hope I never officially feel like a grown-up. 

5.      Any plans to write another book?

Any plan to MIND YO BUSINESS? Sike! Just kidding! I would LOVE to write another book.

6.      Is Goose back from training yet? If so, how is she doing now?

lol. I wish she was more evolved and could hear and understand that someone asked about her. She's been back for a week and a half and will go back into some more training while I'm on tour. She's doing better. She's a unique creature, that’s why I love her.

7.      What’s your favourite book?

Harold and the Purple Crayon

8.      What’s your favourite soup?

French fries

9.      What song should Canadians listen to, to help us survive the coming cold weather?

“She Bangs” by the greatest Canadian I know, Ricky Martin
