Show and Tell Tuesday

Today I'm linking up with Andrea and giving advice to our high school selves. 

Well this was me in high school

Background information about me in high school. I was very shy. I was in band (color guard). I played soccer. I had the same group of friends throughout all of high school. 

So what advice would I give myself?

1. Don't get tied up in the drama. I know this is easier said than done, but high school comes and goes and you move onto college and the drama doesn't come with you. Yes there is drama in college and real life, but not high school drama. Not petty drama. I got caught up in it way too much. 

2. Don't date the same guy all throughout high school. I did this and yes of course we broke up when I went to college. Did I expect that to happen at the time? No! Am I happy that happened? Yes! It lead to me meeting Nick and I can tell you I'm the happiest I've ever been with him :)

3. Hold your best friend close. I can say I did this. I'm still such good friends with my best friend from high school. She just visited me last week! 

4. Keep your grades up from the beginning of freshman year. Was I an A+ student? Absolutely not. Did I try hard? Yes! Did I start doing that Freshman year? No! I wish someone would have explained to me about a cumulative grade point average in middle school. 

5. You know what you want to do it in life, and you will get there so don't stress out so much! Since I was little I knew I was going to be a teacher and here I am now. I just wish I wouldn't have stressed out so much on the way. 

6. Last, but not least have fun!! Have fun in high school. Have fun in college. It all goes by too fast! I feel like college were my best years so far, but I had fun in high school and wish I could live it all again. The simple life!

What advice would you give yourself??
