It seems as though being 16 was so long ago, even though it has only been two years.

1. Study hard for the ACT

It's better to be one and done.

2. AP exams suck, but put in some effort

You've been prepped all year by your teachers and you'd be surprised how much you already know.

3. Learn how to run

You suck, why can't you run five minutes without passing out?

4. Don't be embarrassing on social media

Instagram changes in two years.

5. Take a break from studying once and a while

Enjoy the last two years of high school with your friends.

6. Take pictures, lots of them

It'll be fun to look back on later.

7. This is the year where you start forming/solidifying friendships that you'll have forever

16 going on 17 going on forever.

8. Don't stress too much about the huge test

You did your best, and it really does not amount to much in the long run.

9. It really does not matter what you wear to school

Go in sweatpants.

10. Seriously, learn how to run

You are going to hate yourself in two years because you can't work out for longer than 10 minutes.

11. Eventually, the crazy year will come to an end

Enjoy it while it lasts.
