Don't ever try that macaron because it'll be the only thing to taunt you once you become vegan.

You know, that job opening you just saw and that requires you to scan in a bunch of stuff and send it within the next 2 days? Don't bother. SERIOUSLY.

The sex you are about to have (unprotected) is going to conceive a baby. It's a boy. He is the greatest thing that will ever happen to you. So don't freak out or panic. You're about to get your life in order.
PS, Don't marry his dad. It won't work out.

If you ever join some one on a quest to save the dodo, don't forget a good book and your dishwashing gloves.

GET A CLUB TODAY AND PUT IT ON YOUR VAN OR YOU WILL REALLY REGRET IT. Also, think about springing for a parking space somewhere. Might be worth it...

When you talk to that amazing vegetarian woman at work, do not say "but I really like steak." You look like a crasshole. In a few years time you are going vegetarian like her and will be glad that she put up with your obliviousness and let you see that being vegetarian could be easy.

Congratulations on going vegetarian. Look for vegan information and forums on the internet. Do it now, not in 10 years time. Going vegan is not "too extreme" the way everyone is saying. (How many times have you already heard "Oh vegetarian. O...K... Well at least you're not vegan, that's too extreme"?)
You will be vegan. It will be easy. You will love it. Do it NOW!

Instead of getting scared about what you are discovering yourself, and withdrawing into a mess of self-destruction, actually take that shiitake seriously. It will put you miles ahead in the long run and you won't be trying (and failing) to sort it out ten years later. Yes it's hard. Just do it anyway.

Next year's VeganPhoenix -
I wish I could hug and kiss you without disturbing the flow of time!
Thanks so much. Now I understand.

1) yes, this is gonna sound like your mom talking, however, there is some good info here, so try to listen. (N.b.: I know she's 98% insane right now, but then she finds the right drug cocktail and spends some time in therapy and you don't have to be afraid all the time.)
2) your neighbor that wants you take care of his cat? He means forever, not just a week or two. Don't bother to keep calling him to ask when he'll return. Let the co-op kick him out, btw, and save yourself some drama. He was sharing human drugs with that kitty and the fluffball is better off with you for now. The cat will love going home with the guy that lives on a farm, so don't stress about finding him a home right now.
3) as you expected, you aren't really compatible with alcohol. Skip it and don't feel like you missed anything.
4) it is okay to kiss girls or boys or transfolk. Someday you'll live in a city that has a parade celebrating all that stuff. Btw, your best friend from grade school is in the closet right now. That's why she never tells you anything lately.
5) some people are not nice. some people will never like you. it is not your job to be anyone's therapist. Take that to heart and spend some time running around in the woods. You'll feel much better.
6) the whole cancer thing will shock you, but everyone makes it through alive.
7) you'll meet a huge chunk of family in a few years and you'll be amazed. Ukeles, lobsters, and cloudberries will figure prominently.
8) take up running. You'll really enjoy it. Buy some good shoes, though, and a really good sportsbra.

Going vegetarian was a great idea after watching "Diet for a New America" in class. You should have stuck with it. But you'll find it again 14 years later. Better late than never!

Remember when he says he still has hope, and that he still likes you. Remeber how you thought FUUCCCKKKK YOU! Say it. SAY IT. Otherwise, he'll just log off and talk to you later and you'll wish you'd said it. Because now he's moving here and 'hopefull', this is dangerous.

That guy you met on Twitter who seems like a really fantastic guy? DO NOT GO OUT WITH HIM. Not worth the heartache nine months later when he rips your heart out.

Amanda last potluck
Amanda This potluck
Remember when you called liz to confirm that the GTLBQ Closet group wasn't going to be double booked with you again for next potluck. Well don't believe them when they assure you it won't happen again. Because people will show up and they will cancel your potluck, then you will wind up scrambling to half assedly grab people back to your place where "N' will be awkward, know where you live and create problems with the dog.

You're beautiful. Don't trade your health for something so superficial. You'll regret it and make your life a living hell with no way out. Think you're miserable NOW? Just wait.
And stop lying to your therapist. She can help if you let her.

The guy in you're photo class is going to ask you out. You'll fall madly in love with him, unfortunately he's a commitment phobe and completely forking nuts (you'll never figure him out). He may or may not love you (doesn't matter) but he'll be abusive and manipulative. You'll be drug through nearly 7 years of waiting and hoping that he'll make a decision. Just stay away, spare yourself the additional pain. Maybe you'll meet someone who does love you and make some friends instead of worrying about him and how he'll react? But you need to be emotionally available or else you'll end up clueless and friendless still at the age of 25.

Too much hair gel . . . just too much. Just throw the stuff out, people are laughing at you behind your back. Really. In fact, just grow those bangs out. Then you won't have to fight with them every morning.
But if all else fails, don't worry- you'll have great hair in the future.

I know it's hard, but you're doing the right thing. Keep pushing on, because in a few short months, (and I'm not just joshing you,) things will get loads better, and soon, you won't even be able to remember how hard life is right now. No, really. Just take the meds, and try not to freak out about possible side effects.
And, if that's not enough, I can guarantee you that before you graduate, you will find the confidence you always wish you had.

You know that boy you're obsessed with. Don't bother. You're not going to believe this, but he's a HUGE forking douchebag who isn't worth another moment of your preoccupation. How do I know? Because in a few months, you'll actually get the courage to go talk to him. And he'll forking ignore you.
And just go vegan now. It won't be so bad, because within a year, you'll be living within 1 mile of a vegan bakery.

Don't sleep with that guy. You can sleep with the next guy, but don't think about it too much. You're really going to dig the following guy. Oh, and don't torture yourself by taking hour-long metro detours just to walk from the L so you can walk past that guy and MAYBE end up talking--you'll know the one.
