1. Stop eating crap. That freshman 15 is going to multiple x4 if you keep it up.
2. There's this thing called a "gym." The machines are not scary. No one is going to make fun of you for trying out an elliptical machine for the first time. Check it out.
3. You can date that guy you met right out of college but dump him when he moves away. The LDR will prevent you from meeting people in your town and you'll get sucked in by his narcissism if you keep seeing him. Five years down the tubes.
4. Don't give up on your premed dreams because you got a C in gen chem I. It wasn't because you're stupid. You had a hard time adjusting to college and you never spent 3 days without your parents until your freshman year, when you moved 1,000 miles from home. Give yourself a chance to adjust. Regroup and try it again.
5. You're a good writer, but you don't have to do it 24/7 and live at the school paper. Your grades will suffer (grades do matter) and you'd be much happier taking fiction writing classes instead of journalism classes.
6. That journalism thing? It's fun but it's a dead end. Go try it for a couple years but don't lose a decade at it, OK? You're not going to win a Pulitzer.

1. Just do it.
2. Stay away from baking and the Ben and Jerry's/cheesecake/fudge/etc when you're stressed (bahahaha, yeah right :B).
3. DO NOT slack off in high school! College credit courses' grades matter just as much as the AP exams' scores!
4. Pharmacy isn't the "smarter" option just because it's "faster"; pursue what you actually want to do.
5. Play less video games...maybe, just a little?
6. You'll turn out all right.

(1) Don't waste time in Computer Science / Engineering when you hate programming, because you'll get horrible marks and wish you hadn't dropped 40% of your classes in second year.
(2) Don't let your high school guidance counsellor talk you out of being a science major, and spend first year taking random electives and feeling like you should have went to CC instead.
(3) You're actually really smart. Apply for that research position and scholarship, because you'll get both. Stand up tall, be proud of yourself, and don't avoid trying anything for 2 years just because you feel like you probably won't succeed
(4) Where's your community service at?
(5) Take pre-reqs for med school early - you never know what you'll want to do later
(6) When you're away on study abroad, stop studying for the MCAT and enjoy your life. See the world. An extra semester is no big deal.
(7) The things you didn't plan to do, weren't sure of, and didn't think about as "resume builders" actually served you the greatest, later on. Who knew?

dear freshman kexy,
don't drink flaming shots. ever. don't bike drunk....don't drive drunk. don't join a sorority, you might be blonde and like to party but you're not an idiot.
don't pierce your tongue. it hurts. for weeks. and it's trashy.
oh, and when you're in cabo on spring break, don't let some random mexican dude take you to his house. seriously.
also, don't buy sketchy mexican diet pills banned by the FDA... and then take them.
mostly, don't go to a college a year early. you're not ready.... and you'll do all of the above.

Dear 17-year-old runawayclock,
1. Water and salt biscuits, no matter how tired you are to prepare a meal, is not a meal. You will be 95lbs at 5'7" by the end of the semester and you will have to go to the hospital and mom will forever think you are on the verge of death whenever you are out of sight for more than a day.
2. Don't sign with Rogers.
3. You know that weird angry looking Russian kid with the long hair and home made Kvas? Talk to him - he is not scary and you will end up marrying him.

BeachBlondie....
I know you like sportscasting now, but you're actually going to be a premed in a couple of years. So...
1) Go. To. Class. You're a smart girl and shouldn't have to settle for B's because the professors grade attendance.
2) Don't continue to play lacrosse with a torn quad just "because the season is so close to ending and I'll have time to heal afterwards."
3) Don't move to the beach....it only makes choosing between surfing and class THAT much harder.
4) Don't drink and then pull an illegal u-turn. News Flash: you're above the legal limit (barely, but shouldn't be driving anyway) and you are going to get arrested one night after finals.
5) Let your guard down from time to time, you're really not as bad ass as you let everyone think you are. You never needed to be.
6) Go to class.
7) Go to class.

1. The phlebotomy class will kill you. You will become jaded, embittered, and forced to work at arbys if you take that class. Get your CNA and wait for one of those cushy ER tech jobs to open up.
2. DON"T LIE TO YOUR PARENTS!!!!
3. You two are too young. Seriously. Why not wait for a few more years. 18 is waay too young for you to start thinking about marrying her.
4. If you are going to procrastinate, actually do something fun, besides just sitting around and browsing the internet.
5. You are unstoppable with 9 hours of sleep. Unfortunately you suck at life if you get any less than 8 every night. You have no idea how big a difference a few hours of sleep makes.

oh I thought of another:
Dear 19 year old rhesuspieces,
A long island iced tea is NOT an iced tea mixed with a bit of vodka. Remember this, and you won't end up barfing in a cab.
Also, during that semester that you're taking OChem 2, Physics 2, Anatomy, research methods, and working in 2 labs, REMEMBER TO DRINK WATER. You will get distracted with everything else you have to do and end up in the hospital with dehydration TWICE.
