What I Would Tell My 16 Year Old Self

Because I have 10 minutes before class and I can't stare at my research paper another second without screaming. Blogging break! :)

1) Stop being an ice queen. Boys like you. Let them.

2) Don't feel bad because you don't have dates. It's your fault.

3) Do your math. Seriously. Quit slacking.

4) Keep praying for good friends. You'll meet three of your best friends in less than a year. They will make you a better person and stay your friends for years.

5) Practice scales. And etudes. Your teacher can tell when you don't practice. Also, fix your bowhold. Your college teacher will berate you and beat your bad habits out of you, but if you'd fix them now you could avoid that.

6) Hard things will happen in the next few years. Keep stocking up on testimony now.

7) Bear your testimony in church. It's been four years since you did. It's time to get over your fears.

8) A white Camry is in your near future; keep saving.

9) Freaking write in your journal! How am I supposed to write a decent novel without a record of my teenage angst?!

10) Be nicer to Seth and Hannah.
