    "Squat." I lifted for far too long without squatting, and that contributed to my second one as well.

    "Don't try to run back that kickoff. You will rupture your patellar tendon and permanently fuck up your knee." Self-explanatory.

    keep in touch with the girl you've crushed on since you were 15

    also ask her out before that insanely jealous guy who cut her out from your life does

    I think the ideal time to meet my past-self would be at one of the few moments I had a bully in my face in middle-school, just walk up grab his collar and heave him aside, then take the cig out of my mouth, step on it a bit, and lay on the VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Lots of hand gestures. Lots of exclamations.

    Also I don't smoke, but ideally I set this up so I never smoke the aforementioned time. Oh no, paradox ...

    I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't gone through all that shit and learned things the hard way

    I had to hit rock bottom to actually get help and start improving myself

    don't feel bad when your mom yells at you for holding your emotions in when your brother dies. In two years that's all gonna dump on you in the span of like an hour. ready up for that one

    when you're dating that girl (you know which girl) don't let her take over your life. chill with your friends a little more too. You went to fucking california and disneyland and spent the entire time with her jesus christ imagine the fun you could have had.

    Don't go off that stupid jump when snowboarding
    or
    Don't listen to your doctor, go to physical therapy anyway, and oh don't try squatting heavy 2 months after you hurt your knee


    also

    Don't waste your college time by not putting in full effort, because getting good grades is not even close to sufficient
    or
    Try thinking more about what you want to do after college maybe at least a little more than you did and adjust appropriately

    also

    Don't be so lazy

    Don't be such an insufferable fat prick. Its your fault nobody likes you. You've got a high and mighty attitude you sure as hell don't deserve to have, you're the worst kind of weaboo and you waste 100% of your time doing weird crap that nobody else besides you can relate to.

    Learn to play videogames in moderation, for fucks sake.

    Don't be such a goddam lazy cunt (I still need to be told this on a daily basis)

    While you think it's pretty cool to eat pies and drink beer straight after graduating high school you should probably go for a jog every now and then.

    Go to college right after high school.
    Stop being so lazy; work out some.
    Practice writing and drawing more, so you'll have a chance to go somewhere with your talents (or lack thereof).
