Ten Pieces of Advice to My Former Self

1. Drink more water, alright?
2. Get an old fashioned alarm clock. A phone is just not the same.
3. Bangs are a big life commitment. Think long and hard before taking the leap.
4. Sometimes it’s okay to spend money on yourself. As Tommy Haverford would say, “Treat yourself!”
5. Stop checking Instagram ten times an hour. Definitely not productive.
6. Apply for things you think are ‘above you.’ You never know– why not you?
7. Call your family members often.
8. Read voraciously. The world belongs to those who read.
9. Write, even when you think it’s crap, just keep writing.
10. You have a nice laugh. Use it often.
