Advice to 11 year old me:
Don't forget your bag at camp. Trust me you will miss those purple hiking boots.
Advice to 12 year old me:
When an 8th grader asks you out, say yes. Otherwise you will wake up one day and realize you are 20 and have never actually had a boyfriend. Not even the 6th grade walks you to class kind.
Advice to 14 year old me:
When you are helping grandma back to the house from the boat on Memorial day. Hold her hand for a little bit longer. She is going to have a heart attack tomorrow.
Advice to 16 year old me:
Visit your Dad. Call him every chance you get. Tell him you love him instead of telling him you can't talk for long. He is going to die in October and you don't want to be the kind of daughter who finds out years later that your father made plans with other people's children because he thought you didn't want to see him anymore. Ask him what his favorite song is so that you don't stop dead in your tracks three years later when you realize that you have no idea.
Advice to 17 year old me:
Pay more attention to street signs. Trust me you will thank me when you suddenly find yourself in some sort of English suburban hell called Bachelor Gardens. Those are 3 hours you will never get back.
Tell Alex how you feel about him. Maybe your friends don't think he is good enough for you, but maybe it wouldn't kill you to let someone in. if you don't you'll spend way too much time wondering how things could have been.
Stop pushing everyone away.
Advice to 18 year old me:
That one time when it seems like a good idea to go to marching band practice high. Don't. wearing sunglasses at night is a dead give away. When people bring you up in conversation, this is all they will remember you for.
When someone asks you to prom say YES.
Stop being so awkward.
Don't waste so much time at college. Get on track. You want to be a media arts & studies major. Stop trying to fool yourself into thinking you want to major in something practical. You will never be happy as a history teacher.
Advice to 19 year old me:
Stop trying to be so hardcore. That septum piercing was a bad idea. it's been 2 years take it out already.
When someone from high school asks you to live with them. Say NO. She and her friend are crazy whores. You will never see the same guy twice. It will only take 5 months for this one to go sour and it's a 12 month lease. Just say no.
Be nice to him. He sees something in you that you don't. If you could only see yourself the way he does.
