Advice to myself at 10
1: Be nicer to people other than Sandra. Her best-friendship is questionable and your dependability on her only makes you socially awkward.
2: Keep up the cello practice, PLEASE. Get Brian to teach you more of those "weird" songs that actually inspire you. Stop thinking that you suck, you're only 10.
3: The only reason the entire orchestra snubs you is because you don't talk to anyone. Therefore, they are judging you solely on the fact that you dress like a 20 year old grunge-head. They're not meaner than you and definitely not better than you because they're Westside. Flirt with your stand partner. When it's too late you find out that he likes you too, but is too embarrassed of liking a "weirdo".
Advice to myself at 15
1: Make friends with people other than Sandra! This summer she will deny your existence and only hang out with her German friends. When school starts again she will pretend nothing happened.
2: Don't try out for the improv team every year. You are not that funny and definitely not fast. This is not attractive to the guy you're chasing there, but he's a loser anyway.
3: Stop wearing size 16 clothes when you are in fact size 4. Your stomach will never be the same! Wearing a halter top does not mean you are a dumb slut. Dress like a teenager when you are one.
4: Don't be such a snob to all the popular people. You are a cliché too.
Advice to myself at 18
1: Go out with Alex for the experience but break it off before it kills a part of you. Listen to the fortune teller and move on - she was right about everything else, down to a T, and she was right about him having a drug problem (despite what he tells you). Following this advice will prevent future issues with C.T. - the guilt that still plagues your conscience. You can't even type his name.
2: Cut the cord with Sandra and don't look back. This is extremely hard because she represents every awesome childhood/adolescent memory to you. It turns out she's crazy and racist, with impeccably bad taste in men.
3: This is important - respect your mother. Menopause and loneliness is not a fun combo, and you are a brat.
