I would tell myself 1. Slow down; you only have a few years left to be a teen then it's an adult forever.  2. Protect the letter from Clinton.  3. Focus more on the future then short term social desires- anything is possible.

save money, don't marry as young, be careful who you trust

[PGS28]

Good advice, especially on saving money.  We think we have forever to do things when we are young.  I have gotten my kids in the habit of saving money early.

This made me laugh, but all 3 are true!

1. Learn to be alone because you are honestly not missing out on much of anything (but it's more for your mental sake).

2. Get started on your writing as early as possible just to get into the habit of writing period.

3. Save your money until the stock market begins to recover in 2009 and then invest in the company that has the highest YTD and a year later, resume your current mutual fund investment strategy. Eventually take out all that money and bet it all on Amanda Nunes to win the UFC women's championship and you'll be good to go.

Savor every moment, spend more time relating to your grandmother, learn and practice as much as you can.

I would tell myself that 1) if I was going to go to graduate school, do it in a subject that offers employment security for the rest of my life 2) invest as much money as possible in Apple stock, 3) think twice before having children.

[sipingyu]

I would tell myself to 1) take more risks in life and in my career; it's less risky than I thought; 2) travel a lot more before having kids; 3) kid's education is a lot harder than I thought.

Hi!

I would tell myself to always believe in yourself. I would lovingly remind myself how hard working I'm and love myself. Lastly, I would tell myself to be careful who you trust ya.

I would tell my 16-year-old self the following:

-  Attend a college/university that is in-state.

-  Avoid taking out student loans whenever possible. If that cannot be avoided, take out federal loans only and apply for as many grants and scholarships as possible.

-  When all else has failed, join the military and have them pay for your education.
