I'd tell myself the winning lottery numbers!!! I'll give myself multiple winnings, but not every day that might look suspicious.... :D :)

Don't start smoking.

Go to nursing school your FIRST time through college. Put just a little bit of effort into actualy learning something in school.

Start skydiving at 22, as soon as you have a full-time, decently lucrative job.

Travel.

Don't be such a bitch to that hot boyfriend you'll get when you're 21. You'll never quite shake it.

I'd probably do the same thing, but a-la Back To The Future's Gray's Sports Almanac... :ph34r:

That girl you have a crush on. Go talk to her. She has a crush on you too. Don't wait five years. She'll have a boyfriend by then.

I would tell myself not to give up on someone who was/is very important to me and to go skydive when it was first introduced to me 10 yrs before I made my first jump.But then again if I would have started jumping back then I would be dead because I was young and stupid then I could not go back and tell myself anything.Isn't there some rule about going back and fucking with the past?I think there is something about that in Back to the future.:D

I wouldn’t say a thing to my self.

I am very happy in my life and all the things that happened during my last 12 years has helped shape who and where I am today. From the most painful breakups to friends who sucked ass.

It’s all good.:)

I dunno what I would tell my 18yo self, but I would tell my 17yo self to have sex with more high school girls. ;)



see its Over 17 in New York, which worked out for me in my ealry twenties as I was probably only 15 in my head since I am seriously immature :-P

You go, girl!

:D

Seriously, even with all the crap I've been through (mostly of my own doing), I wouldn't change a thing. It's been a fun life so far. :)
But hopefully my now-35-year-old self has learned something along the way...

1. Don't believe anything he says, no matter what it is or who he is...
2. Get your Master's and Ph.D. right away.
3. In 2001, go ahead and get married before he leaves. Don't wait until he comes back. Write him more. Stay with him the day he leaves and don't go to work. Have lots of sex instead.
4. Don't be afraid to act on your feelings.
5. Tell people NO!!! more!

(smoke cloud appears in a tall, gangly kid's room)

Kid: WTF?

Me: Happy 18th birthday! Okay here's a few things you should know:

* If you want to graduate from college go to class and read the books. Just be ready to start at the bottom like everyone else.
* I know you are interested in joining the skydiving club: do it.
* Don't be so intimidated by women. Flirt and be yourself. Make sexual comments.
* You're a goofy geek. Accept it, relish it. Don't try to hide it.
* Don't try to be "normal."
* Go and party your ass off but don't get absolutely obliterated every night.
* You need to balance your life: work hard, play hard.

(Disappear in a cloud of smoke)

Kid: Whatever old man, screw you!!! :P

I agree. Furthermore, those experiences which were less than favorable make me appreciate all the good in my life now.

Two things:

Major in Pre-med and go on to Medical School. When I was 18, I really had an interest in medicine but was too lazy to consider going to school for 7 more years. The ironic thing is, I actually went to school for 6 more years...4 years undergrad and 2 for graduate.

I wish I would have discovered skydiving back when I was 18.
