Tell Yourself What You Know Now

Boyfriends in middle school are overrated.  Never let your family slip out from under your nose. Pray for the people you dislike. Chewing bubble gum all the time will give you TMJ. There is no such thing as playing too many sports. You are never to old for snuggling on the couch with your daddy.  Wait 5 minutes to take a drink of hot coffee. Playing in the rain is potentially the most stress-relieving thing I have discovered yet.  Body pillows are the best for sore backs and hips. Stay in contact with your old friends, you never know when you will run into them again. Wear tennis shoes to Shipshewana. Walk barefoot in the grass after it has rained. Sleep on a hammock for a night with blankets and hot tea.  Jump on a trampoline in the rain. Don't go anywhere by yourself in unfamiliar places. Make a recipe you have never made before.  Eat too much cookie dough. Don't take dramamine until you start to feel nauseous- it will knock you out. Buy something just cause you want to and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  Spend as much time as you can with the people who care about you.  Go see a disney movie (especially if you are an adult). Learn how to longboard- it looks awesome. Boys that smooth talk aren't always wanting to get into your pants. There are such thing as jumping cactuses- AND THEY HURT.  Read the bible every morning, it makes your day go a lot smoother.  Skip a class or two- no, the teachers won't be mad. Eat a Big Mac before you get diagnosed with celiac disease. Stay up late to talk to your siblings. Don't argue with people over tedious things. Hug your parents before you go to bed.  Say I love you too much.
