    Hmm.. Forget about her. You hook back up in 12 years, and it wasn't worth the wait.

    Don't marry that butt-head that looks like Michael Bolton that you meet in a bar. He's a deadbeat.
    Pursue your acting seriously. Don't let that go.

    that girl in HS that likes you is probably the best thing that can happen to you, even though you're not much into her...
    start bodybuilding NOW! don't wait until 5 or 6 years later!

    Don't start drinking caffeine, the headache that happens without it is a bit^h.
    Don't do that study abroad program in Tanzania, you would be better served with that field school in Ethiopia
    A university close to home isn't necessarily a bad thing, particularly when you don't know what to study yet
    Don't stop running. It makes starting again frustrating.
    Don't be a pu**y. Try out for track (cause if you followed my advice, you wouldn't have stopped running and would probably not be embarrassingly slow!)
    That girl is crazy+evil! If you stick around her, you'll be traumatized and hate her with all your body but you will have great stories!

    I would've said:

    You're in the best shape of your life, don't stop taking dance classes, you're a hot *kitten*.
    When you meet that guy who runs the night club, run the other direction. Just run.
    Be at Shakespeare's (it's a bar) on Saturday night, October 11, 2008. You're gonna run into a hot guy you went to high school with, trust me, it goes somewhere. (The night I randomly ran into my current boyfriend---we've been inseparable ever since.)
    Don't wait an entire year to change your major when you start college. Have fun your first semester in musical theater, then change to PR and Advertising as quickly as possible.

    Do NOT get married! You are way too young and he's gonna show his true colors and make you miserable.

    Try not to fit in. Be your own person and stop eating so many chicken strips and french fries.

    don't marry him!!!!!!!!!! run away!!!! run as far from him as you can!!!!!!! you're worth more than you think. You need to finish college. You can wait to have kids. (as much as i love my kids, marrying their father and having them as young as i did was the biggest mistake i ever made.) you don't have to be fat. quit acting like you don't care, you do. i know you do. you can do it, in fact you will when you hit 29 but you can do it so much sooner if you tried.

    - Start putting money aside to help you out when you want a home
    - Your weight is perfect like that, don't overeat
    - Beware of the red head you'll meet in 5 years, he's bad news, you'll waste a lot of time (and of yourself) with him
    - Be more self confident, who cares what people think

    grab the brass ring, don't settle with your career and know that you're worth every penny that you ask for. Stop smoking now, and don 't stop exercising just because you're off at college. Oh, and date the guy you know you should date, not the one that "might be interesting."

    I would tell myself that my mom was right... there are friends that you have now, at 17, that won't matter at all by the time you are 30 or 32 in this case. I would also tell myself to tell my dad that he was wrong... my then boyfriend really would be around forever :heart: We have been married 10 years now.

    -That math you will "never use"? Yeah...you will....and you will wish that you cared.
    -You are smarter than you give yourself credit for.
    -Don't major in something that is a glorified hobby-major in business and save yourself a lot of time.
    -You are not fat. I repeat...You. Are. Not. Fat.
    -Meat is not your enemy, you need that protein!
    -Wear shorts and short skirts, they look good on you.
    -You belong to no one-never let someone treat you like property.
    -Take more risks-do something stupid.
    -Get a freakin' job!
