Dear 16 Year Old Self...

If you don't know what is going on here take a look at 1, 2 and 3. 

4/30 : List 10 things you would tell your 16 year-old self, if you could.

1. Try and do better in school. I know it seems so lame right now. I know what you're thinking "Why do I need to learn this? History and English are so dumb!" But trust me, it's important. Learn these 'boring' things now and you'll do so much better in college later! Not to mention you'll be so much smarter!

2. Choose your friends wisely. You're still new in town and you'll become very close with a few amazing people. But as you grow up and graduate you'll start working and meeting different people. Befriend everyone, its okay, But be careful who you hand out with. Not everyone shares your values and they can get you into trouble. Stay close to your family they are your best lifelong friends!

3. Don't be so shy! Talk to people more and don't worry so much about what people think of you. Not everyone is as judging as you think. You'll make more friends and have more fun being social!

4. Stay strong in the church. Read the book of Mormon and build your testimony. It will better prepare you for entering the temple one day.

5. Learn to manage your money. You have a problem with spending too much. You'll have your first job soon and have no bills or anything to pay for. Make it a habit now to save and spend a little here and there. 

6. Don't quit the guitar. You'll regret it.

7. Play some kind of sport, get into running, biking, anything active. You'll wish you did later.

8. Spend more time with your family. They love you and you'll miss them SO MUCH when you move.

9. Always remember your self worth. 

10. Don't give into peer pressure.
