    Being smart is so much more important than being "perfect".

    things to tell yesterday's Natasha: Don't have that 5th drink. Don't tell your friend you think he's cute but talks too much. Don't tell the Spanish model you made out with that you thought he was gay when you first saw him.
    True story!

    Move to SC but don't get married at 19. Seriously. And get over the "don't want to ruin a good friendship" bullsh!t, because your best friend ends up being your best husband. :heart:

    High school is NOT the best years of your life, so don't sweat it, it gets better!
    You are NOT an amazon ugly girl.
    You DO have something to say.
    HAVE MORE FUN AND TRY NEW THINGS!

    Oh, and the guy who dumped you at the prom? Yeah, he's still an ***hole 25 years later, so celebrate that stroke of luck! :)

    Dating older guys is not cool, it alienates you from school, gets you into trouble, and you end up a dropout. Relax. Besides, you end up marrying a guy a year and a half younger. So ha.

    "Hey, Young Lauren, you see that "hot" guy over there? The one that everyone loves but is kind of a douche? Yeah, he'll be a fat, bald baby daddy working at AutoZone by 21, so don't sweat it. In fact, don't sweat any of these people."

    *shrug* It's the truth.

    Don't ask any guy out! Wait til they come to you! (My husband was the only one who ever asked me out on a date. This would've saved me incredible amounts of emotional distress).

    Something I would tell my younger self is never stop exercising, don't ever give up your independence for a guy, turn left instead of right once in awhile.

    Oh yeah, and those funny slots in the wall are NOT for a key.

    kraft macaroni and cheese is not that good and it smells weird. Stop eating it all the time, you don't do enough exercise to justify bloody lucozade either.

    Oh and Emma fancies you, absolutely go for it.
