    Don't drink that 2nd pint of Yukon Jack...you will surely regret it and the result will smell in your car for months.

    Participate and try during track practice...natural ability will only get you so far

    Enjoy it. Don't whine about short summers or having to go to school. Stay in better shape.
    OH! and don't drive into that lake.

    I fond of my current life, if I change events too much it changes who I am. Probably, slow down on the peanut butter cups!

    Try not to hate your mom in a year from now because she is going to move you to VA. You will then meet the most wonderful man in the whole world! Life is not what you planned, but it will be an awesome ride!

    He's gay. Help him out of the closet and inform him that his best friend is a VERY good kisser...

    So much drama would have been prevented.

    High School isn't the end all be all of your life, it ends and then life starts and everything changes..... Be what you want and make a plan to get there.

    Be more outgoing, people think you're a snob when really you're just petrified to talk to them.

    Your first husband will cheat on you, but the second one will be amazing. (yes, we get divorced, but it makes us a much better person)

    Always be as honest with yourself as possible. Even when you don't like what you see, you can't change anything unless you're honest.

    You know the exercises they have you do at PE? Well put forth effort. Actually RUN around the track, and at least TRY to ift the weights. Not doing something won't make it any easier.

    And at least try and accomplish something before to get decrepit and senile.

    Hmm...that was when I was a sophomore in high school. I would tell myself to put more effort into my grades and studying.

    Don't rush into growing up. There's plenty of time to be an adult.
    Don't fight with your sisters so much, eventually they'll be your rock during difficult times.
    Spend as much time as possible with your dad.... he won't be around much longer.

    When you meet a cute boy wearing dog tags at the quarry in three years, don't call him! And certainly don't marry him!

    Haha well then I wouldn't have my gorgeous daughter..Or I could tell myself to stay in college. Crap I wouldn't have my daughter then either. Eh, I guess I'd tell myself to just let things play out. I've learned a lot and it's all because of my past!
