A letter to my 18 year old self.

Well I was stumbling along the other day and I stumbled upon this entry  on Shameless Sassy. I thought it was an awesome idea and I wanted to do something similar. Well I was only 18 years old 3 years ago, so I kinda hope i remember some of the stupid things I did back then and probably try to warn myself about those stupid mistakes I've made. So  I guess here goes,

Dear 18 year old Annie,

Honestly your grammar sucks, I think it still does to this day. You really need to get into the habit of proof reading your papers. I know you have strong arguments and strong points to back up your arguments but you really need to write your papers in days in advance so you can actually go back and proof read it. Not to mention you have poor thesis creating skills. I think everyone has that problem. Oh yeah... in the future never use the same user name your gonna use to post in your blog as the domain name of the blog. I know you've made that mistake many times...I guess its due to our lack of creativity.

Don't rush to be a kid again, I know we both had to grow up at 14,15 against our own will, but we will have time to be a kid while still being adults. Your friends from high school will not always be your friends. There will be friends that you want to cut out of your life completely. Be thankful you did in the future, if not you'll be kicking yourself in the ass like I am right now.You should always be confident of yourself, don't always look down at yourself despite what people say. You will loose all that weight your gained in high school. You will look at  yourself one day and be like "what the fuck, where did all that weight go? I didn't do any physical activities," trust me its the poor eating habit you've developed working at that shit hole. You may or may not gain it back, you may even lose it again and look twice as good.

Just appreciate what you have, and ignore our father. He's a complete douche and as you'll get older you'll realize that he's not gonna ever change his douche ways.

- Future self.
