    Don't settle for just ok.

    Trust your gut.

    Don't get married to someone who makes you feel like that.

    Stick to blonde

    Consider double majoring in something fun (geology maybe?). You totally could have handled it.

    Take more chances with your looks. Wear the dress. Cut your hair.

    Go easy on the all-you-can-eat breakfasts at the dining hall. Honestly.

    Spend more time with your family. They won't be around forever.

    Invest your effort and affection into those who also invest in you.

    Be more outgoing. Start working out as soon as possible. Don't stress so much. Write down every word grandma says about how to treat a lady.

    "Don't move away from your family just because your boyfriend gave you an ultimatum, you'll find someone who is sooooo so sosoo much better in a few years..."

    But I guess everything happens for a reason and lessons were learned. >.<

    Marry him! But treat him better. Besides, you won't believe the children you're gonna get!
    And marry that one when the first one is gone. It will work out better than you think.

    Don't get fat! The stomach will never completely go away.

    Get out of that church! They can't answer your questions because they are clueless!

    Turn down my ex. I'm always wondering how different my life would be if I had done that... it just went completely downhill from there.

    Practice saying “no” in the mirror. There will be times where you’ll have to tell someone “no” and it will scare you, but you have to set boundaries for others or you’ll end up feeling used.

    Eat healthier cuz if you don't, you will be very sick as an adult. Get your thyroid checked as a kid. Work harder in school or you will amount to nothing trying to figure out what to do with your life.

    What would it have been?

    I know ideally I think I could change myself with advice, but it isn't like I didn't get amazing advice already when I was younger. So instead of advise, what I would wish or try to improve in my younger self is my my sense of self - to foster confidence and develop an understanding that I will progress and define your future more with what I sacrifice than what I plan and do.

    I probably wouldn't have listened anyway. Probably something about drugs are bad, but everyone knows that anyway.
