As I prepare for my five-year high school class reunion I am reflecting back on my high school years. I would have definitely done them differently according to who I am today. High school is usually the best days of your life.. Well, mine wasn't because I feel like I didn't let it be. College has definitely been the best days of mine! Here are a few things that I would change if I had a chance to go back to high school:

1) I would be less shy..

I was very shy in high school. I never let myself be who I really wanted to be! Now, looking back on it, I wouldn't care what people think of me! I would just be myself and go on about my day!

2) I would open up more and have more self-confidence..

.. she is right! Stay true to yourself and don't be afraid, I have learned to be like this over the years. In high school, I always used to worry about what people thought of me and what I should act like in order to fit in.

3) I wouldn't be so dorky and weird..

.. looking back on my high school pictures, I could tell I tried to fit in too hard when I was with certain people. I wouldn't do that anymore, that's just not me!

4) I would have listened to my teachers more..

Thinking back on high school, our mentors and teachers truly cared about us and our well-being, even though we hated them sometimes! I feel like I would be much nicer and actually try to get to know them more this time if I went back. I actually miss some of them too!

5) I would do it much better this time and actually start with a fresh slate!

.. I would want everyone there, including mentors and teachers, that was there when I was in school of course! There are so many things I would have popped out of my shell and done if I was the me I am today!

..But thats life right? You only get one chance, learn from your mistakes, and make things better as you go! :)
