-contacts are not so scary, you will meet a tone of dudes when you stash the specs.

-your tall with big boobs...no worries on the dating front

-don't put that damn perm in your hair! luckily all your hair grew back

-Dad was right, when you break up with someone, "there will always be someone else"

-yes you will become a shopaholic and a chocoholic

-chemistry becomes your passion, so moms kitchen curtains didnt catch on fire and her copper pots didnt blow up in vain.

-that girl you hit in the face with an egg will be your best friend

- your mom didnt let you have coffee when you were younger for a reason...Now your an addict. You should invest in the Proctor and Gamble company because of the amount of money you spend on Crest White Strips you should try to get some money back

-you should work harder on your use of profanity, it is a bitch trying to control it now.

-speed racing was a great idea, best decision you made. all that sneaking out the house was worth it.

-practicing kissing at the age of 8 behind the shed in the back yard... worth it.. your a pro 🙂

Mine:

1. I know that your ability to observe like a hawk & over-analyze a situation from every perspective is a gift & has spared you from so many toxic situations & so many bad decisions. But know too that over-analyzing doesn't guarantee that your mind/logic/imagination will be correct or come to the right conclusion. Slow down when it comes to not being able to feel comfortable doing something until you've dissected them to death.

2. Don't feel obligated to explain yourself when others accuse you of being different only b/c you're trying to be different. Remember, they labeled you as different FIRST. It's just that you finally agreed & went along with it. And even if you're only different b/c you're trying to be, who cares??! The question isn't why are you trying so hard. The question is why what you do is so much their concern

3. Avoid overly-emotional folks. No, they will not balance you out. And if they do, it's only temporarily. Eventually, you'll go back to your usual logical self & curse them for not coming back to earth yet. It's best to just find people up front who are not this way vs. trying to transform everybody from the emotional to the logical. They won't/can't do it.

- Drink coffee as soon as you can, seriously, you need stimulation.
- Speak your mind; Who cares if you come off as an asshole - YOU'RE HONEST.
- Loyalty and trust IS important, but don't be a fucking retard - make them EARN it first!
- GO TO HIS SOFTBALL GAME! GO TO HIS SOFTBALL GAME! GO TO HIS SOFTBALL GAME!
- Its OK. Strong people HAVE strong emotions. Express your feelings, open the flood gates, let it go, release the kraken!!
- Your instincts are ALWAYS right.
- You have so much fire inside you, its like magma. People are intimidated, yes, but they're also in awe.
- Smile, baby, smile like a child who was given a gummy bear. GUMMMMMMY BEEEEARS!

You're a fat and short - wait til you grow up.

You will get to make your own porno one day. You'll find out that modesty in locker rooms was actually warranted for the other boys.

Those times being an idiot at the carpark, it's going to save your life.

Add some more colour in your wardrobe you emo bastard.

That revelation in year 10 will make sense, please commence total self-destruction asap.

So you want to follow your heart at all times, your logical side's pretty awesome too. Don't be an idiot.

Mine:

- Avoid heathen business like drinking Crabbies at room temperature


- There are going to be awkward moments where you walk into a room and you just KNOW (all three of you) the two people there were just having eye sex with each other from across the room. Then you're going to have to walk across their field of view to get to the fridge. It's like playing the bottom in a threesome you never signed up for?



I just feel more in touch with my Aqua side lately. Hope you don't mind. Nice list!



You can post here anytime. Carte blanche all the way. You and the other libras here have been nothing but nice to the aquas who post on your board, including me.

Let's see:

-school IS important, don't mess around with grades/graduation!

- one day those guys that treated you like dirt because you where not the "best looking girl" will have it tossed in their faces (yes ugly duckling that has turned out to be very attractive, old school mates are kicking themselves).

-drugs are bad mmmmhhmmmaky

I agree with a lot of what has been posted by others. Especially the stuff from krysrenee.

You're frail, tiny and birdboned with long awkward limbs and low pain tolerance...do NOT attempt doing a Tough Mudder.

Don't force yourself go to the "elite" university if you'd really be happier somewhere else. It really doesn't even matter as much as you just going to any decent school.

Please never dye your hair red. Trust me on this.

People are flakes. Accept that.

-Take your creative side more seriously
-Be honest and stop trying to be so polite with everyone. They don't all deserve it
-For God's sake, get out and do some stupid teenaged butter
-If you like someone, you should probably tell them because you are going to meet one or two people that make you stupid in love and totally miss.
-Hey, your going to tell your high school crush you liked him a day before graduation and you have to sit next to him bc your surnames start with the same letter. Good luck younger me.
-Your sixteen or so... you should question your life now rather than five years from now
-Dreams don't always come through but there are always other dreams to be had.
- Your acne will go away one day and every boy with a pulse will be running after you
- In the future you look more like your mother than your father. You also look like you come from a latin american country. Don't be confused. I am.
