Don't we all wish we could go back to a previous time and give ourselves advice? In my wishes of doing so, I hope this letter helps someone in the shoes I was in. Taylor Swift said it best, “People throw rocks at things that shine." So keep your head up, the hard times will be over shortly.
Although it is not easy for everyone in High School, some have had it worse than others and if I could go back I would tell myself that I wasn't as alone as I felt. It's freshman year and the long four years ahead seemed like an eternity, but following what everyone tries to tell you. It actually does get better.
You'll find your niche and although you thought it was with different people, by the end of those four years there's nothing else you'll be more thankful for than the fact that you didn't fit in with that other group of people.
You feel lost right now like the whole school is against you but brace yourself and put on a smile. I promise that is what they hate to see most, you smile.
Smile at those girls that started those rumors and the boys who laughed about it.
Eventually, if you keep smiling they'll have nothing to say about you.
Through the cruelty of some, reciprocate only nice remarks; people normally don't know how to handle this. What better way to show someone up than to throw sweet against sour.
It's easy to predict relationships with all of the social media around us, the good and bad, but create your own love story. You'll find that boy that makes everything feel okay, live those memories, have a blast and don't think about anything bad that can happen.
Just be young and live in the moment.
In saying this, the boy you have a crush on won't always sweep you off your feet, in fact, he might just knock you to the floor. Get back up and make that the last time you ever bless him with your attention, he has some growing up to do, leave him to that.
While you’re being nice to those who bring you down, also be nice to those who bring you up. Being nice to everyone around you will always pay off in the end
Lastly, It's not cool to act like a bad student, always try your absolute hardest and be that over-achiever. Applying to college comes quick, and the better your GPA/transcript is the better luck you'll have.
With these few tips, most importantly; remember to only live in the moment, High School will be some of the best years of your life so don't ever stop creating memories you'll be able to tell your college friends.
Although it may feel hard now, be the girl that neverlets anything break her. Don't show them your weaknesses and thrive in something you love. Be known as that girl who loves to skate, goes to the gym, sings, whatever it may be for you. These years may be times you'll never forget, but don't forget you also have so much time to make memories after high school.
