Letter to Me

I was listening to Brad Paisley's new song, Letter to Me, and started thinking. The story of the song, is a guy writes his 17 year old self a letter about what to do more of and what to do less of. So, what would I tell my 17 year old self?

1) Don't be so eager to please everyone.
2) Don't date guys who don't respect your or your parents.
3) Be nicer, but don't let people run over you.
4) THINK, really think (before you do anything)!
5) Listen to your grandparents stories.
6) Spend more time with your sister, she will help you take care of your parents one day and you want to stay on her good side.
7) Spend more time with your parents.
8) Realize when it is time to cut someone out of your life.
9) Be yourself!
10) Don't include yourself in a controlling relationship.
11) Enjoy high school and your first year at Appalachian.
12) Have fun!

There are probably a dozen other things I can include. Think about what you would tell your younger self. What advice would you give? What would you not want to do again? What would you like to do more of?

Check the song out on YouTube! It's really good.
