How to Improve Your Sense of Direction

I used to have a terrible sense of direction. I would get lost everywhere I went. I could never take a backroad home or make my way in a new city. I've had to develop my sense of direction in preparation for DragonCon. I refuse be the loser who doesn't know how to find the Con's infamous Wandering Waldo.

(I found you, idiot!)

Here are some tried and true methods of for never losing your way. 

1. Follow the North Star-it's hard to miss! I've found that it always hovers above my destination. Peer into its fiery visage to remember your purpose!

2. Find a line and stand in it-There's got to be something desirable at the front. More often than not, this is where you belong.  

(Turns out, I was waiting for the men's bathroom!)

3. Look for the yellow arrows!-On cloudy days or if you're indoors, you can't use the North Star to guide you. The President has painstakingly placed markers on the ground so Americans will never lose their way. 

4. Don't listen to the goblin king!-David Bowie is waiting around every corner, hoping to lead you astray so that he might kidnap your baby brother. 

5. Pay for a guide-If you're feeling stumped and hopeless, there's no shame in asking for help. You can always dial 911 to request a guide.
