Advice I'd Give To A Younger Me.

Drink more water. Or fruit juice. Seriously, you drank way too much fizzy drinks when you were younger. Not good. You could probably do with more milk too. One day you'll realise that calcium is very important to you and your bones.

Learn another language. Not that you can't still. But your brain is screaming out with it's potential to learn right now. You're young and you should most definitely exploit your ability to pick up another language. Or failing that, an instrument. You probably won't realise how jealous you will be of others later on. And no, playing the glockenspiel for those few months of being in the school band doesn't count. (Although I'm proud when you said you were practicing when you were actually playing hide and seek with your friends. Good work).

Remember that not everyone is looking at you, or cares what you're doing. It's the spotlight effect. Do what you want, most of the time, as long as you're not hurting anyone.

Don't cry over that boy you thought you were in love with. Because you're not. You two were just not meant to be. Wait a while, you'll meet the perfect person. Trust me.

Do cry over that boy you thought you were in love with. Because the experience allowed you to realise what love actually meant. And yes, you actually managed to find it, it just took a little while.

Appreciate the time you have with your grandparents. Not that you don't already, but sometimes when you're sitting there on a Sunday a bit bored of being asked the same old things, just remember that one day they won't be there anymore. Trust me, you will never regret the time spent with them. Appreciate your time at school too. You love it. But there will come a time when there's going to be a bit more pressure on you then just deciding what options you want to take and what grades you'll get at GCSE. You really aren't going to fail anything, so just enjoy it. The same goes for college. Never again will you get to spend time with such a great bunch of people. You are lucky. Try and believe it sometime.

Try not to get too scared about the future because right now it's not looking too bad. You did good. Relax.
