Annalizing

1. Life gets better.  really.  like a lot lot lot better. But you can still enjoy where you are now.
2. Being yourself is ok, it's fun even, and people like you better for it
3. Don't put up with people's crap.  Don't believe what they tell you about how stupid, immature, naive, etc. or how you are stupid for dreaming big dreams.
4. DREAMS really come true.
5. Let go and just have fun.  You don't have to carry the world on your shoulders.
6. People don't generally care so much about how you look, or pay attention to every move, word, or clumsy moment.  It's OK to laugh about it. People do forget.
7. Your parents are awesome, but you need to be yourself, even if sometimes it feels like you're going against them.  Remember, they are new at this too.
8. Don't believe that to have any friends you have to stay in a group, and hate everyone/thing they hate, and like everything/one they like.  If you can't still be their friends they aren't worth it anyways.
9. No matter what your teachers say, you will get into college, and actually it is really not that much different, even a little easier from your load in high school.  So don't stress about it.
10.  You are awesome.  Like seriously, original, talented, full of purpose, awesome.  And you will do great things.
