"Kate McKinnon doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t shy away from a challenge. Since she joined the cast of Saturday Night Live just over two years ago, she has performed heroic acts of comedy on a weekly basis: The 30-year-old has impersonated master impersonator Ellen DeGeneres (and Bieber! and Ann Romney!); gone topless in a promo with Lena Dunham; and even licked Louis C.K.&amp;amp;#8217;s face (best bad kiss ever). On the heels of an Emmy nod, the adorable oddball gifts you with a few of her personal Dos &amp;amp; Don&amp;#x27;ts. Do Try to Keep Your Oldest Friendships Intact (Unless They&amp;#x27;re Awful). I&amp;amp;#8217;m still close with my four best friends from middle school. When we were 12, we had dinner parties; we dressed as faeries for Halloween (yes, we spelled it faeries); we pondered the meaning of life. Today we still have dinner parties, I sometimes dress like a faerie for work, and we still ponder the meaning of life. We have yet to come to any conclusions, but I hope we&amp;amp;#8217;ll always be able to ask together. (Yes, I realize this is the plot of the movie Now and Then.) Don&amp;#x27;t Cry in a Starbucks When You Could Be Celebrating at a Hooters. I once did a show where I failed so miserably, the agent I&amp;amp;#8217;d invited said, &amp;amp;#8220;There wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t really enough material to judge, but what I saw I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t like.&amp;amp;#8221; I was too distraught afterward to go out with the sweet men I&amp;amp;#8217;d invited from my telemarketing job, so instead I chose to cry in a Starbucks bathroom, loudly and for too long. Then the men called and asked me to meet them at Hooters. I thought, Well, this seems to fit the tone of the evening. I&amp;amp;#8217;ll tell you what&amp;amp;#8212;Hooters has got hot wings figured out. Do Get Regular Mole Checks. I&amp;amp;#8217;m what could be softly described as a &amp;amp;#8220;real bad hypochondriac.&amp;amp;#8221; In answer to the age-old question, &amp;amp;#8220;Would you rather have a cook, maid, chauffeur, or masseuse,&amp;amp;#8221; I&amp;amp;#8217;d choose a team of MRI technicians to check me out whenever I felt the urge. But I&amp;amp;#8217;m not crazy for saying that sunlight is legitimately a weapon and you should get those moles checked every six months or a year. Do Buy a Veggetti, or Five. A Veggetti sounds like something you&amp;amp;#8217;d have to stuff in a drawer when your mother comes over, but there&amp;amp;#8217;s nothing obscene about it. It&amp;amp;#8217;s just a vegetable cutter that lets you slice zucchini into spaghetti. It gives you the psychological satisfaction of eating a massive bowl of pasta, but it&amp;amp;#8217;s just a heap of squash. Your friends will be skeptical, but after they&amp;amp;#8217;ve tried your Veggetti, they will attempt to steal it, so you&amp;amp;#8217;ll need to buy extras just in case. This is very important. (Of course, if you want pasta, do eat a massive bowl of it every once in a while. Life is short, and isn&amp;amp;#8217;t real-ass full-white-flour pasta the greatest joy in the universe?) &amp;amp;#8220;Do Buy an Air Conditioner With Enough BTU&amp;#x27;s for Your Apartment,&amp;amp;#8221; Says My Mother. I am sweating so hard while I&amp;amp;#8217;m writing this, and mine is on full blast. Once again, she&amp;amp;#8217;s right. Don&amp;#x27;t Watch The Bachelorette Without Your Sister, If That&amp;#x27;s a Special Thing You Do Together. A sister is life&amp;amp;#8217;s most precious gift&amp;amp;#8212;mine is, at least. Do not forsake your sister, particularly when it comes to something as important as The Bachelorette. Do Do You, Boo. While rehearsing at SNL, I often wonder, &amp;amp;#8220;WWID?&amp;amp;#8221; or &amp;amp;#8220;What would I do?&amp;amp;#8221; because the answer isn&amp;amp;#8217;t always clear. I want to do things &amp;amp;#8220;the right way&amp;amp;#8221; and make everybody happy, but when I do, I usually fail. I&amp;amp;#8217;ve generally done better when I tried to ignore how I think something &amp;amp;#8220;ought&amp;amp;#8221; to be done and just listened to the bizarre little worm that lives in the apple of my heart. Be still and listen to the worm&amp;amp;#8212;unless it&amp;amp;#8217;s telling you to do something illegal. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
