twenty-three things i'd like to tell my 17 year old self



1. it is what it is

2. it'll mean the absolute world when you understand that you don't know a thing about a thing.

3. you're going to want to learn everything you can about programming. early. and fast.

4. host people. lots of people. on your couch.

5. work on your ball-handling skills. the soccer kind.

6. pushing and shoving for the pieces to fit isn't being a problem-solver.

7. ask grandpa for the ferrari.

8. talk to all those people you want to when you first see them. other people want more friends, too.

9. get a bicycle instead of a gym membership.

10. pay attention in your photoshop class.

11. stop buying $50 mascara and use lashblash luxe. you'll like it so much better.

12. don't ever try to be a nanny. it's not in your cards, suga girl.

13. you don't have to even act like you know how to dance.

14. you've got to be a better big sister. you're the only one he has.

15. you're not going to like playing house for long.

16. you don't even need eyeliner.

17. a woman can do anything with a good perfume.

18. don't ever become too busy for books.

19. don't buy things you're not absolutely in love with.

20. don't you dare date him. don't even think about it.

21. learn how to take your contacts out, you dumbass, you're doing it wrong and ruining your eyes.
