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

Challenge day 4: List 10 things you would tell your 16 year old self, if you could.

Hmm...not my favorite blog topic, but here I go anyway...

1. Having straight A's is less important than having fun.

2. Open up more. Getting into the habit of being introverted is hard to break.

3. Choose your relationships wisely - both friends and boyfriends.

4. Eventually something will come up against you and wound you, but it doesn't have to cripple you forever.

5. Prioritize wisely. You only have 24 hours and 7 days, just like everyone else.

6. Keep an open mind. Sometimes plans change for the better.

7. Instead of only spending time on things you like, work on things you need to do better on. This pays off eventually, I promise.

8. A few amazing friends beat a crowd of mediocre ones.

9. Explore more career paths than the one you think you're sold on. Plans can change, as crazy as it seems now.

10. Your life will probably turn out like nothing you've planned, but it might turn out better than you think.
