Day 4: Dear 16-year-old me...
First of all, drop Spanish 4 and start taking German. Immediately. Ten years from now you will be so glad you did.
Don't date that boy from camp. And definitely don't believe him when he says he loves you. He will break your heart and you will be crushed. You deserve so much better than a guy who listens to you vent about the worst day of your life and then dumps you. Over the PHONE.
Stop hoarding math credits. Nobody, and I mean nobody needs seven math credits to graduate high school. Why would you subject yourself to crying over Calculus homework every night when you already have all your required credits? Because you're a glutton for punishment. Here's an idea: why not take a science class? Ten years from now you may regret not doing this!!
You are a decent shotputter. Your coaches may be ignoring your potential, but keep at it. After four years of working your tail off, you will finally be deemed worthy of wearing that coveted T on your jacket. But you know what? Don't even bother buying that letterman jacket. It's a waste of money. You won't wear it after you graduate, and your parents will say, "We told you so."
Oh, and lighten up. The world will keep spinning even if you get an A-.
Love,
Future Me
