28 Things I Wish I Could Tell My Younger Self

I will be 28 years old this year. Here are some things I wish I could go back and tell my younger self so I'd be better prepared when turning 28. Enjoy!

1. Eat better. Your future self is going to ask why you ate so many laffy taffy.

2. Listen to your momma.

3. Drink more water. Less alcohol.

4. Get help; focus on your mental health sooner.

5. Save your money. Stop buying so many McDoubles.

6. Don't get a credit card. Seriously. Avoid those.

7. Start college when you decide exactly what you want to do. Don't worry about everyone else and their success so much.

8. Brush your teeth AND FLOSS.

9. Change the oil in your car and get your tires rotated.

10. Don't wait for people to change who don't want to. You have others waiting to replace them.

11. Study your grammar more because you're awful at it now.

12. Do you really need those shoes?

13. Study more. Read more books. Chill out.

14. Take more baths because those are faaaaantastic.

15. Beer before liquor, never sicker. I'm serious, Chrissy.

16. Pick better friends. If they make you feel bad about being yourself, then get out now while you can.

17. Practice what you love doing. Photography and art.

18. Keep in touch with family because they fade just as much as your friends will.

19. Stop freakin' procrastinating

20. Tell your mom and step dad that you love them more. They do so much for you later on.

21. Learn how to cook. Please.

22. Don't be afraid to speak up. You will have many times where you need to.

23. Strive for greater things! Stop comparing yourself.

24. Get a golden retriever far sooner than you do. You'll thank me.

25. That guy who broke your heart did you a favor. Trust me.

26. For the love of god, enjoy your body now. Wear crop tops, short shorts, whatever the hell you want! You have kids later. Sorry.

27. Karma is a bitch.

28. Be who you want to be, no matter what anyone tells you. Believe in yourself. "No one ever achieved greatness by playing it safe."
