<p>Dear HS self,</p>

<p>Work a little harder than you’re working now. Apply to more schools. Get a better job. Save up some money. Stop procrastinating. Go to a school that you really want to go to. Don’t settle. Gain some confidence. Do all of these things or else you will end up hating college.</p>

<p>Love,</p>

<p>Current self.</p>

<p>oh my god, maple story…
that game has single-handedly stolen my little brother away. What a ■■■■■■■■ invention that game has become… </p>

<p>Dear High School Magneto,</p>

<p>In order to become a more successful and happier Magneto, do these things:

  1. Do not ever go to Harvest Prep. That will be your academic and social downfall.
  2. Do not take anyone in high school seriously. All of those people will grow up to have kids right out of high school and work at McDonalds
  3. Arizona Iced Teas are your best friends
  4. Do not go to Case Western Reserve University. You will be miserable
  5. Most of the people at school that you may think are your friends really arent. Dont tell them too much about your life.
  6. Play football. Force yourself to. Trust me. It will make you alot better off.
  7. Your car will have electrical issues. Fix them now so that it wont cost you later
  8. Go to community college first and then go to a 4 year school
  9. Dont take your gpa so seriously in high school. You already have a 4.0 and its not like the school offers AP classes. Just Relax
  10. Most important one, A black man will become president and gas will drop to 1.79 for a time period. Take advantage of those</p>

<p>In time, you will become a much happier Magneto when you get older and not have to go through half as much drama and other crap.</p>

<p>Cheers,
Current Magneto</p>

<p>P.S. If you find a game called “M.U.G.E.N.” Stay away from it. It is addictive
Also, your future best team in Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is Rogue, Ken, and Storm. Use this team always</p>

<p>Dear self,</p>

<p>Life is a journey in which we learn and grow. Had it not been for the mistakes I have made and the total jerk you are at the time you are reading this letter, I would not have discovered some things that truly make me happy. If I told you to try harder in high school, you would have spent four years selling yourself out for grades when you always stood up to the pathetic excuse for “learning” that was foisted upon you. Plus, you get into a good school after you start caring in college. It’s pretty sweet.</p>

<p>Love,
steve</p>

<p>P.S. Don’t start drinking coffee too soon, for crying out loud I’m up to four cups a day.</p>

<p>Dear HS Self,
Dont quit your sport, but definitely pick up a guitar for a while. Then after you’ve gotten OK at it strongly consider quitting your sport. Because it sucks. Really. You work harder than everyone else, but no one respects it and you’re not even that good. And you don’t really like it as much as you think; you just do it because you think it feeds your individuality. Oh, and just play the game. If you don’t, you will get kicked out of school your senior year, and that’ll be no good. Don’t take AP Euro. You learn a lot, but it’s a hell hole. And don’t be such a tool.</p>

<p>I would just tell myself to keep on going, and that things always work out, and that the future will be even better than the present…</p>

<p>Also, I would tell myself not to be so hard on myself</p>

<p>You know there’s a whole site about this… highschoolself.com</p>

<p>Yo,
Ask her out.
Peace.</p>

<p>coulda woulda shoulda…</p>

<p>Dear High School 1 Sky Pilot,</p>

<p>Don’t take everything so seriously! In the end, most of it doesn’t even matter. And smile, girl! You’re beautiful :)! Cheers!</p>

<p>Much love,
College 1 Sky Pilot</p>

<p>P.S. Avoid AP Calculus.</p>

<p>here are the winning lottery numbers for the past 3 years</p>

<p>Dear Self,</p>

<p>Don’t let them dictate your future, don’t worry about the teachers saying you aren’t smart - you are. You can handle AP Bio, and even ace Chem, ignore Dr. X, she’s one of the biggest idiots you’ll ever meet. Enjoy the ride and understand that you’re there for a purpose. P.S. DO NOT take Algebra 2/Trig with Ms. Z, trust me.</p>

<p>Also, don’t apply to any of the colleges you’re thinking of. Go to Six Flags after Homecoming, don’t let Eric drive to prom, screw Allen he’s not even worth it, ask out Justin. Yes she’s one of your good friends but tell her to shut up…BUY A FLAT IRON…go shopping.</p>

<p>Love,
Yourself</p>

<p>@lanceb: LOL. Want to write that too.</p>

<p>Dear High School Self,
Try to show up to school more than 3 times a week, you get a 3.3 GPA, imagine if you had actually been to all your classes.
Don’t! I repeat DON’T become semi-stalkerish with the guy you meet the summer after HS. He’s going to be the love of your life, and you’ve blown it by being a crazy. Taking 2 GAP years before college to work makes you rich, but you feel like an old fart by the time you hit the schoolbooks again, so try to only take 1 gap year. Other than that you’re doing good, and you’re finally out of mom’s clutches. You made a big booboo on your last trip abroad, mom is still hounding me you ******. But those 800 bucks you won in Vegas came in handy, thanks!</p>

<p>Oh and don’t gain those 10 lbs, because I’ve been busting my ass trying to loose them, also your boobs will become gigantic because of this and everyone will comment on them.</p>

<p>Love,
your new and improved self</p>

<p>Dear self:
Ask out every girl you like. Be more confident. (Note: Don’t actually ask out every girl you like).</p>

<p>Play better in terms of college selection. Play a lot better.</p>

<p>Get a part time job while in HS and college. I’m not kidding.</p>

<p>Figure out your major ASAP, and don’t tell your parents about it, except to make fun of your mother.</p>

<p>If you haven’t already, watch every season of the Wire and the Sopranos. You will thank me. </p>

<p>Drink alcohol. Don’t drink lots of alcohol, but drink alcohol. Play more cards. Do things you enjoy more.</p>

<p>Take harder courses. Take honors english, take AP Environmental Science, take Chem 2/Phys 2 honors.</p>

<p>Spend more time on the bus ride home. Join Chess Club.</p>

<p>Play cards. Play lots of cards.</p>

<p>Finally, be more chill and less tilty. It’s a good thing, yo.</p>

<p>PS: The New England Patriots will go 18-0 and face a 6th Seeded New York Giants team that should have no chance. The Patriots OL is going to crumble. Put down every single penny you have on the New York Giants.</p>

<p>Also, there will be a recession that hits in 2009 where the housing bubble will burst. Learn about this stuff.</p>

39

<p>P.P.S. To myself:</p>

<p>Buy stock in Google & Apple and do not let go.</p>

<p>Dear self,</p>

<p>Don’t commit suicide because you will ruin my future.</p>

<p>Love,</p>

<p>your older self.</p>
