so today in class

we were talking about what we would tell ourselves if we could go back to the 16 year old versions of ourselves.

and it got me thinking.

here’s a list of things that i wish i knew when i was 16.

1. do not shave the side of your head. it will take forever to grow back.

2. he was not worth it. any of it. you guys will hook up in the future and it won’t mean anything to you.

3. all the drugs you did? you should have waited.

4. your “friends?” they suck.

5. your parents are gonna find out everything.

6. ecstasy wasn’t so fun in the desert now was it, cool kid?

7. all boys are idiots. they stay this way for a very long time. enjoy them for what they are.

8. you will break up. and it will be bad.

9. take more showers. seriously.

10. you’re allowed to be different.
