Hello Ryan,

I wish I could have thought you the following things when you were 16.

• School grades don’t matter — You should focus on the things you enjoy, instead;
• Stop being a people pleaser — Real friends are the ones that matter;
• Learn maths — It’s like chess for the brain;
• Focus on learning English — You will need it later, trust me;
• Don’t start smoking — It will be a big struggle when you decide to quit;
• Your high school sweetheart doesn’t love you — She’ll dump your ass and make you suffer;
• Learn Deutsch — You will move to Germany to stay with the love of your life;
• Keep on blogging — Your blog will pay your bills when you reach 20;
