Oh the things I would tell my teenage self:
1. Ask mom if it's OK to get your eyebrows waxed. I'm sure she'll let you. (And by the way, you need it!)
2. Don't pretend to like a certain rapper, movie, baseball team, video game - really anything - for some "great" guy, just so you can seem like the perfect girl for him! Be yourself. (That's right teenage Stacey. Put down the Marlboro Light and switch off the Tupac. You know you hate the way cigs taste and really love country music.)
3. Don't let your friends highlight your dark brown hair or use Sun-in. Your streaks - yes, I said "streaks" - will be orange. And it will take you ten years and approximate $3,000 to get it back to your natural color.
4. Pick up a cool hobby like photography or guitar. The practicing and learning now will be worth it when you're the cool chick with the awesome photos or rocking out on your sweet acoustic guitar. It's true, once you get older, it gets harder to learn new things like guitar or French.
5. Go spend some time with your grandparents. Ask them questions. Have them teach you how to cook your favorite dish. Hug them until your arms give out!
6. Just forget about boys all together. Have fun with your girlfriends because the one you end up with is WAY better than all those other scrubs put together...times a million, and then multiply it again. I promise, he's worth it!
