Dear high school me,
If I could go back in time and do it all over, I would. Believe it or not, you will make some of your best memories in high school. You make these memories with the people that you have grown up with since you were little. You live your life every day in the same town, with the same people and it's comfortable. Don't take advantage of that comfort. Someday soon, you'll be off on your own and you'll miss that "at home" feeling.
Do everything you can! You will miss Friday nights more than anything. You will miss supporting all of your friends at sporting events. Go to every football, basketball, volleyball game and go all out! These friends are your family. Before you know it, it will all be over. You will miss being in the stands wearing your boyfriend's football number on your cheek.
Hang out with your family. No matter how many times you fight with your parents and say, "I can't wait to get out of here!" You're wrong. You will miss your parents and your siblings and you'll be longing for just one more family dinner. The day they drop you off at college, you'll feel it.
Lastly, if things aren't going your way, just know it will always get better. I know times get rough and it seems like the end of the world every time but, it's not. You will soon learn, if it won't matter in 5 years, don't spend over 5 minutes being upset over it. Be happy. The best is yet to come.
