    You don't have to be fast, just run. And yeah, don't smoke.

    To my college self:

    If you really want to be something specific like a certain type of researcher, technician, psychologist, etc, it's totally possible for you. It might take a long time and you might go into a lot of debt, but you're smart enough and there are WAYS to achieve your goals besides relying on your parents or your own $7/hr job to pay for it. Don't be so afraid of failure and always take the safest path...it won't get you any special points later in life that you're supporting yourself now. Don't bother with the boys you date. Wait for someone of higher quality who you can really relate to.

    I mean... younger me wouldn't listen anyway. Or current me, for that matter.

    Okay, here's one: don't shotgun rum out of the bottle.

    I'm only 18 but I feel like years are already passing me by. So I'd tell my younger self to still be kind but don't put others happyness before your own happiness.

    There is truth in this.

    Listen to yourself...your inner intuition (so far) is always right...even if its not what you want to hear

    Join the Cross country and track teams. Biggest regret. Didn’t start running until 2008. Year after HS graduation :(

    That sounds like something you should have told yourself this morning?

    YES!

    I feel this way about my hair, too. It's a lot longer and wavier than my profile pic which is from last year. But when I was a teen, I HATED it being really thick with just a slight natural wave. In the 90s everyone wanted sleek baby fine Alicia Silverstone hair or tight spiral curls. I love it when people ask me what type of styler I use to get big waves and it's my natural texture. Finally ok with it!

    Nope, we just have a similar sense of nostalgia. And the same bad taste in the mouth for it.

    You just can't spell everything phonetically
