Hello bulleted list.
These are some things I would tell my younger self if I had the chance.
And if I was sure younger me wouldn't have a panic attack from being contacted by future me.
- you're not going to get very tall, quit hoping.
- you will not get a dog before you move out, stop hoping.
- try not to buy birthday gifts/dresses for dances/project materials the day of, you'll pull it off, but it's unneeded stress...
- remember to check grama's oven before you preheat it, ALWAYS.
- the first two don't mean it, ignore them.
- don't wear tights to the EYH conference, you will hate yourself for it.
- practice jumping fences when you're not under pressure, trust me.
- when you finish writing that horror story, burn it, because now I can't find it and that worries me.
- don't let your uncle see your phone, he is a goose and will talk about your text messages over the dinner table.
- also, don't let said uncle look at your yearbook, he will read every single note people have written and will thusly assume you have buttsex.
- please get your permit, this not being able to drive thing is very gheyt.
- DON'T leave the house without quarters if you don't have your phone.
- always have a back-up ride.
- stay away from ducks, geese, and chickens until you are at least 13, they will try to kill you. (that goes for peacocks too)
- don't worry about remembering any of this list, everything will turn out fine.
