I always wondered what life would be like if I traveled back
in time and met my younger self. Granted, I was a big old basketcase. It might
be a disaster, but it might be kinda fun. Would she listen? Probably not. No, definitely
not. Oh, and I might end up strangling her.
1. . You are already crazy. Six cups of coffee only
makes it worse.
2. Your first year of college is supposed to be
hard. No one likes freshmen year. Stop acting so terminally unique.
3.
You can’t concentrate wherever you go because
you are thinking too hard and it makes you crazy. Relax your brain.
4.
Obsessing over a guy won’t make him love you.
Men all do the same tricks, have the same equipment, and have a chip on their
shoulder about their childhoods. Trust me, he ain’t all that.
5.
The fake eyelashes plus hair pieces don’t make
you pretty, they make you look like you should be swinging from a pole.
6.
Stop with the makeup. Some baby seal died so you
could commit fashion homicide.
7.
Nineteen year old guys are idiots just like you
are. Don’t expect anything special from them.
8.
Don’t follow a man home in the rain. He won’t
appreciate it let alone care. And after you get soaked cause you didn't bring an umbrella, you will feel like a fool.
9.
Stick with the puppets. You will get where you
want to go. However, it won’t be as fast as you want. But it will happen when
you are ready.
1 You are wise to study your craft and technique.
You must know the rules before you can break them.
1.
That class you hate, what is it, Writing the
Essay, it will come in handy. It will be how you write your first book.
1. The answer is not to contemplate dropping out of
school. The answer is to study.
1. First year is stressful, but binge drinking at a
party and making an ass out of yourself is not the answer. It will give you
more stress and more problems.
1.
Do not smoke or run six miles to control your
anxiety. Smoking is bad and while running is great, you can’t do it all the
time. Talk to a friend. It helps you deal with it and lets you know you aren’t alone.
1 Food is not a way to solve your problems. Calmly
breathing, taking care of what’s in front of you, and then getting a good night’s
sleep is.
Don’t think you ever have a handle on someone
until you talk to them.
1 Being yourself will be your greatest gift and
asset. Although it might not feel like it, it is. Just roll with Team April a
bit longer.
1. Never drunk dial a man you just met and tell him
you love him. He will run forever.
1. Stop crushing on your RA, he’s gay. Make sure your blinds are closed when you dress. And you will be laughing about all of this someday.
