Dear 15 Year Old Self,
You’ll be OK, I promise. As you go on through the next years of your life, here are some things you should know. You’ll have some amazing times with your friends, but you will also have some sad times. You will get to go to homecoming and look like a princess and for prom you’ll look even better. You will make memories that will last you a lifetime. You’ll get in fights with your parents, but don’t worry they love you more then words could even describe. You’ll get your license and that will by far be one of the best days of your life but when you get your first ticket you’ll be thankful for how much your parents love you. You will start with about 78 friends freshman year but you’ll find your true friends throughout your years. You’ll find your very best friend in the whole world. You will deal with fake girls who think they’re better than you and you will deal with douche bag jerks guys who aren’t worth your time, but that’s okay because you’re you and nobody will ever ask you to change. You will binge watch Netflix on nights your friends are out partying and you “just don't feel good.” But don’t worry too much, you’ll get your fair share of parties. You will drive around on warm summer nights blasting your music with your friends and no cares in the whole world. But you will also drive alone listening to sad songs while you crying your eyes out. Yes, you’ll have to do homework and study for the classes you could care less about. You will get into college I promise. You’ll get your first kiss, and you will get a boyfriend. You will fall in love but you will also fall out of love. Just slow down, and stop worrying about the future. Stop focusing on just trying to get out of high school and getting to college. You’re only young once and even though high school seems like the worst thing in the world, I promise you will miss getting to see your friends everyday, or the Friday night football games under the lights, or getting into trouble with your best friends when your parents think you’re “studying.” You will make some of the must amazing memories that you’ll get to tell your kids about some day, and maybe some you might have to leave a few details out of. So just remember, you’re you and the only you on this earth. You will do great things in your life and in college. Take a deep breath. Just be young, stop stressing, and make the most of everything you do.
Sincerely,
The girl who should’ve took her own advice
