If I could go back in time to tell myself in high school things I wish I knew then, here is what I would say:

1. It is OKAY to be single in high school

At this time in my life, almost all of my friends were in relationships and I felt left out because of it. It always seemed as though everyone else had someone to love and care for. I am glad that I was single in high school because I had a lot on my plate academically and I would've probably gone insane if I were in a serious relationship in high school.

2. It is OKAY not to exactly know what you want to do right out of high school

A lot of college students during their first or second year change their majors and it is normal. Don't freak out or stress over the fact that you might not know what you want to major in college with just yet.

3. Go to class and do well in school

I completely understand that school can be stressful, but try to at least attend class and put the effort in now so that you can accomplish whatever your heart is set on after high school.

4. Popularity won't matter after high school

This might be a shocker but popularity does not matter in college or in the workforce. There might be people who will "know" a lot of people, but no one cares about being "popular" anymore.

5. High school goes by fast

When you are in high school, it might feel like the longest four years of your life. But before you know it, you are walking across the stage to receive your high school diploma at graduation. Make your high school experience the way you want to remember it years later.
