     There are a few things I wish I would have been able to tell myself when I was Seventeen because they would definitely have helped make life easier. So now that you're seventeen, as you read this,  think of it as a letter from your future self: to you: 1.  Learn to save money, it's really going to help you in the future. You don't need to get everything you want. Most of them you can live without, and eventually you might be able to save up for that trip to Spain you've always wanted. 2.  Take care of yourself. Build good hygiene habits; brushing your teeth, taking your bath every morning. A lot of college students fall into the ritual of deodorant. No one wants to walk around, or beside someone who smells like a potent plant. You can only cover up so much odor with deodorant. 3.  Study, like your life depends on it. Because in a way it does. Imagine spending all that money  in school and coming out of it a...

10 Things I  Wish I Had Know At Sixteen  1.   Don't take life too seriously. Breathe, relax.

They're more important than you realize. 2.   Take care of yourself. Don't be reckless. This isn't the time to experiment with pot, or weed just because your friends are.

Drunk driving is the number 1 cause of teen death in the U.S. You have a wonderful life ahead of you and you can be so much more than a statistic, don't waste your life for one night of fun t...

The Waffle Analogy Boys have waffle brains. This is funny to explain, but just as funny as explaining that girls have spaghetti brains. Funny or quirky, the waffle analogy is a perfect explanation for the way guys think or the way they don't think that sometimes baffles and frustrates girls.   You see, guys  have boxes in their heads - different storage spaces for different thing: Cars, family, food, computer issues. Each space for one thing and one thing alone.  If a guy is in one compartment, that is all he focuses on. If he's watching T.V, he's in the T.V box. When he's in the garage, he's in the garage box. Sometimes, in between these boxes the guys have what's known as their blank box. This is the stress reliever box. A box without words or thoughts where guys can just go and park their brains for while. If you've ever noticed your brother, or uncle, or guy friend sitting on a couch somewhere and they seem to have completely zoned out,...
