Going into high school, I definitely did not expect it to fly by like it did. If I could go back, there are so many things that I would tell myself. Although I would not change anything, it would be nice to go back and give myself some advice, such as:
1. Do not wear the silver eyeshadow. Just don't.
2. Don't be scared to compliment the girl whose outfits you like in English, you'll be best friends for the rest of high school and into college.
3. It's OK to ask where to go on the first day.
4. And you'll know exactly where to go on the second day because of that.
5. Don't be afraid to walk alone in the hallway. No one is watching you or cares.
6. The seniors do not care about you, do not be nervous to walk by them.
7. You're going to miss out on some things because of work and homework, but your grades are worth it.
8. It's OK to not go out every weekend.
9. Try to bond with teachers, you will need their recommendation letters eventually.
10. Don't vent via Facebook, you will regret that when you look at your Timehop years later.
11. Friends will come and go more often than you think.
12. Everything happens for a reason.
13. Don't pretend to be someone who you aren't to get someone to like you, especially boys. They aren't worth it.
14. Stop dying your hair, it looks fine.
15. Work on your eyebrows, they definitely need some help.
16. Don't be nervous about dating your best friend.
17. Don't overthink every single thing that everyone says to you, they aren't thinking about it the way that you are.
18. Try to enjoy your senior year and make the best of it. Don't stay home every weekend even when you don't have work.
19. Enjoy your senior prom, you'll regret that you didn't.
20. Cherish every moment and don't wish that it's over because it flies by.
