List 10 Things you Would Tell your 16 Year-old Self, If you Could
1. Stop being so dramatic. Life isn't that hard. Nothing is really that bad. You will miss these days when they're gone.
2. Take the time to realize who your true friends are. Some of the people you have been friends with your whole life may not have ever grown up.
3. Write down every story your coworkers at Fridays tell you. They are some of the most absurd people you will ever meet, one day you will want to write a book about these people.
4. Remember to stick to your guns. You were raised better than some of the shitty decisions you will make.
5. I promise you will grow into your face. Promise. Stick through the braces, and get some damn contacts.
6. You might don't need to kiss (that many) frogs to find your prince. Quit wasting your time with jerks.
7. No real man would ever lay a hand on you, it doesn't matter if you think that's love.
8. Spring break your junior year of high school will be one of the hardest things you have ever dealt with so far in your life, you will get through it. Be grateful that you got to share this experience with Nana, it may not be a good one - but it is one neither of you will ever forget.
9. All State will be something you will never forget, cherish every moment you can spend with these people.
10. Lots of people will leave this life in the next few years. Most that you would never expect, reconnect with childhood friends - stay close to your new friends. Life is too short. Learn from these experiences.
