7.  High school boyfriends are overrated.
6. Stay focused, avoid distractions.
5. You’re going to love being a mother even more than you can imagine.
4. Don’t buy a house before 2008.
3. Buy Apple stock.
2. Take cooking lessons asap, you’ll regret it if you don’t.
1. Don’t worry, everything is going to be ok.

Cute pictures! Hmm, I married my high school boyfriend so #7 is really funny! As an engineer number #9 is ironic because I always wish I had taken the chance on something artsy…but then I remember I have no talent!

I would tell my 16 year old self to stop worrying about being “too skinny” and trying to gain weight (yeah, you read that right!) because when you turn 30 and have a baby metabolism will kick in and you will regret it!

Oh also, don’t teach yourself how to apply makeup…take a class or ask for help!
