Advice to Stephanie at 17.
1. Start off right now by realizing how much you are worth and how not like other 17-year-old people you are. Do that, and you'll be even more prepared for the amazing man who's going to show up in your life within the next few months.
2. Oh, and btw, don't date G. He's a jerk and you know it. He's not nearly as attractive as you like to think he is {okay maybe he does have gorgeous blue eyes, but what does that matter?!} and he complains more than anyone you'll meet in the next few years. This may mean that you don't go to Sweethearts, but somebody a bazillion times better wants to take you out that night. Go on that date instead! ^.^
3. Don't hesitate to go for more things that you want. Later you'll realize that and almost always succeed. But if you do that now, you'll be even happier and more amazing as the years go by.
4. Do your math homework! Now! Don't put it off. That will save you a lot of explaining and will definitely help you when it comes time to look at colleges.
5. And along the lines of #4, learn not to procrastinate now. It will save you a lot of trouble later on.
6. Don't promise N. that "Dear John". You don't know how close to the truth it will be when he asks for it. And it will be really hard for you to write and even harder for you to send. Spare yourself that from the very beginning.
7. Realize now that C. is only using you. The only time she wants to be your friend is when G. is gone. She'll blow you off all summer.
8. Don't tell S. your secrets. She'll remember every single one of them and bring them up at the very least convenient of times.
9. Be more insistent with the 'rents that you're capable and able to do your own things. You know you are.
10. Floss!!!
11. Eat more veggies and fruits. Your skin will look so much better. Not that you're a terrible eater. But even the smallest adjustment is going to make you look and feel great.
12. Learn to love running and baseball now. You're future hubby will insist upon it without actually knowing that he's insisting. Save yourself the hassle. Just remember that he also has to learn to love some of the things you do. His name is W. btw. You'll figure that out really soon, but that's just for a heads-up.
13. Don't tell W. that you're going to make him wait two years. You actually won't and it will make you happier not to explain it to him. He'll be really jealous of N.
