    What do the results of the last 17 Super Bowls have to do with advice to younger self? Am I missing something?

    Maybe "Place the following bets"

    Makes sense.

    Exercise and stay as active as possible, avoid those crappy foods..... also DON"T do that last ariel because you will blow your knee out and have to have surgery when you are 35 and it will suck @ss!

    Don't gain weight because it's a bi*ch to lose it.

    Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean it's okay to gain 60lbs.

    I would have got my hearing checked when it started to give me trouble when I was 25-30. Now at 58 I have serious-unoperable hereditary loss and wear a hearing aid. I should have been smarter--It would have changed my life. Are you listening out there you 25-30 or 40 yr olds?

    I'm 26 and I've done some dumb things but there isn't much I would change because it put me right where I'm at right now which is a very good place. But...

    DTMFA when you know full well it's not going anywhere. Don't drag it out. It's okay to demand better (but again, if I didn't break up when I did I doubt I would've found my fiance when I did).

    Keep up with friends and family. I moved and it makes me sad that a lot of people I was once close with only amount to facebook friends now.

    Wear a helmet when riding the more neurotic horses. It'll save you an ambulance ride, some scarring and $2k that you'd rather spend on other things.

    Trust your instincts. And don't be too concerned with what others will think, when you follow them.

    That bad boy who you really love, but are too afraid he will never grow up . . . Guess what? He does. Don't give up on him.

    Don't date David.

    Don't get that stupid tattoo.

    A nine-year hiatus from college is a terrible idea.

    Don't give up on Alyx. He IS the one.

    Don't let your weight creep up. It's really hard to get it to leave and even if you do, your body will never look like it would have if you'd never been fat.

    If your relationship is more :frown: than :happy:, dump him.

    - You can do whatever you set your mind to do!
    - Do not despise the day of small beginnings; just a little effort can go a long way.
    - Don't be so passive!
    - Believe in yourself, even if no one else does!

    However, if I "learned" these things at 15, I would not be the woman I am today.
