5 Things I Wish I Could Go Back And Tell My 13-Year-Old Self

Massengale Family

1. You're beautiful.

Giphy

I was always so down on myself. I let the people around me dictate how I viewed myself. I wish I could show her how special she was.

2. It's all going to be okay.

Giphy

I was bullied almost every day. I wished I could go back and tell her that high school was great. I wish I could tell her don't care what anybody else says. I wish I could tell her loving yourself is a thousand times more important than anyone else loving you.

3. You control your own happiness.

Giphy

I wish I could tell her that she can be happy. Speak up and say that you aren't being treated right. Find things to make you happy, take up a hobby, do something crazy. You are only young once! Do not waste it!

4. Be the strong woman you were raised to be.

Giphy

Do not let anyone push you around. You learn this in high school. There is a fine line between being nice and being a pushover. Do not let anyone walk all over you. This lesson takes a little while, but it is a very important one.

5. Enjoy being thirteen.

Giphy

Life is really short. You learn this the hard way when you are twenty. Spend time with your family. Go on those little trips to Tennessee with your dad. Run around, have a blast. Put more work into martial arts, the thing you love most. Sing just because and have a great time.

Sadly we can't go back in time, but I will never stop trying to be the girl I imagined I was going to be.

Yes, I'm fine. No, I'm not mad about anything.

Revelist

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

A Candid Letter to My Best Friends Ex

Because this is the real form of torture you deserve.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

College is a time of gaining independence, exploring new things, and copious amounts of Netflix. If you're like me, you often find yourself laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the situations you find yourself in. Here are ten times Bob's Burgers accurately captured college life.

1. What you're pretty sure your upstairs neighbors do at 3am every morning.

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Rollins College

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
