<p>Dear HS theydidntnameme,</p>
<p>Do your damn homework and get good grades so you don’t have to go to a CCC for 2 years and work 40 hours a week in a hellish retail store. Oh and when you meet Carla, don’t waste your time. Trust me.</p>
<p>Yours truly,
The Future</p>
<p>Dear Self:
Try studying for your tests once in a while, and of course, be somewhat more outgoing in life if possible.
Blah,
Yourself</p>
<p>Dear H.S. Miru,</p>
<p>Get some self control - don’t jump on the computer to play games every time your parents leave the house. This habit will wreak havoc on you when there’s no one to keep you away from the computer. Don’t expect your dad to help you with computer science related jobs or learning. Start figuring stuff out on your own (there are actually plenty of books and websites out there, and you have more than enough time!). </p>
<p>You think you’re busy, but you actually have a lot of free time. If your friends invite you to go somewhere, don’t use your homework as an excuse, you can do it later. Friends are awesome and important, and will regret the way that you devalue them in comparison to homework and computer games. Stop staring at the wall and doodling while doing your homework. If you just got it over with like your brother, you would have more than enough time to hang out with friends and learn how to program awesomely.</p>
<p>Trust me, the hard work will pay off in the future. College will be hard, but you’ll feel like a lot less of an idiot if you get a work ethic and stop being such a social moron. Best of all, you actually might not ruin your relationship with that beautiful, brilliant boy who you’ll meet within weeks of arriving at college.</p>
<p>much love,
the current Miru</p>
<p>High school ansar,</p>
<p>Don’t let yourself get down by realizing that girl in Freshman year won’t go out with you. Keep your chin up and focus on your grades. Algebra II is not that hard, but actually study! Know that there is something called Florida Virtual and that you can use it to take annoying classes like Personal Fitness without wasting time at school. Realize that dual enrollment can be a huge benefit and visit the website talk.collegeconfidential.com The path to your future lies in there. BTW, the test chairperson lied when she said you couldn’t self-study because you couldn’t take the test. A school a couple miles away will let you! So don’t fret!</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Self in future. I’m going to Cornell, btw. But you can do better</p>
