This is super cliche, but have fun with it and write what you would say to your 16 year old (or even your high school) self.

    Don’t steal your dad’s car to go to that party while he is out of town- he does check the odometer... 🧐

    Bad boys are overrated. There are so many cute, wonderful boys in your life who are right in front of you. Give them a chance!!

    The days when 100 dollars could get you far, enjoy it before Uncle Sam or your utility bill takes it.

    Also, if you have to chase him, erase him.

    You won't be a scrawny 85 pound weakling forever.

    Take some of that tuition money and invest in Apple stocks.

    Go for the hottest girl in the room. Everyone else is too intimidated and she's lonely.

    Your mom won't be around as long as you think. Get some videos and stuff of her.

    Stop trying to please everyone else and live for yourself. You have to live with you forever.

    Don't get married at 19. Come on now, it's not the 1800's.

    Don't argue with your mother so much because she's not always going to be there.

    And maybe.. just maybe… skip the glitter eyeshadow. :D

    Leave school now, 16 year old me, get your GED and go to college early.
    Don't work full-time in college. Focus on studies more than other things.
    When it's offered, do the study abroad thing too - it will NOT kill you to be apart from your friends & boyfriend for a few months.
    Live with your dad & stepmom until you finish college. It will be much easier on you financially, even though I know you want total independence.

    you took the road less traveled and were very successful - save a little each week forever. stop being overly nice and helping others that you are not responsible for - they can tend to themselves. focus more on yourself. don't get married the second time but still have your kids - and don't send that one email that jammed you up for years in the middle of ct corruption - yes you ultimately won but its not worth it. <3

    Stop thinking your fat, you are BEAUTIFUL and the older you will do anything to wear your jeans again. Also your mother is going to be your best friend so be nicer to her. Be aware of that heartbreak in college will affect your decisions forever so be more aware of what's going on.

    Your hair looks better when worn down and bangs are always a bad idea.
    You're not fat. Stop obsessing over stomach rolls when you sit down.
    Smile more, your teeth aren't that bad.


    You're gonna be just fine, kiddo.
