What if time travel was real? What three things would I tell my future self?
Personally writing advice to my younger self would be a lot easier, since I know the mistakes that I have made in the past. But writing about the future, which no one knows what will it beholds, I would have to start trying to critique my present self now.
The first thing I would tell myself is to practice on procrastination.Procrastinating can lead to stress over time, and you'll never excel in your class. Waiting until the last minute to do things is never the option anyone should take. It also takes longer to finish because you're cramming for what you need to get completed. Also, when you cram it caused you to forget the important things that you need to know. We've all been their before it was either staying late up at night cramming to study for a test or even just a small project that you need to make an A on or just to get extra points. We never want to go down that route again because it can be very difficult and extremely tiring.
Another reason my future self needs to know that procrastination isn't a thing I should do is because it's a very bad habit to break. We all heard the saying "it takes 21 days to break a bad habit" so why even start the habit when it's going to take longer to get rid of it or as I like to say out of your system.
Second thing my future self needs to know, never crave for attention. Being alone is completely okay! Always being with others can cause you to depend on them. You need to be happy on your own and not depend on other people to make that happen for you because you need to learn to enjoy your own company and just be happy for you. Independence can help you with self confidence/self love. Self love is very important thing because if you don't love ones self then it can turn into depression and being depressed isn't good at all.
You can also get more things accomplished by being alone and not having your friends or family members to distract you, even though, it can be fun and entertaining but goals must be accomplished. Putting fun times aside and getting to work isn't bad as it seem because you won't have as many side tracks to put you away from your goals. So next time your family members or friends are out having the time of their lives, think about your goals.
Finally my future self would HAVE to know is to save money. Spending money on stupid things can really cost you in the end because saving is better than spending. Think about this one day I might just want to go out and take a trip to Hawaii, but how am I going to get there with no money? So I would open a savings account and start there or even get a piggy bank (yes, I know whats not going to take me to Hawaii with the money in my piggy bank). You can also be financially independent instead of asking your parents for money each time you run out.Also think about this, you want to go back to school to further your education with your extra money saved you can pretty much to what ever you want and also get out of debt.
Those are the most important things I would tell my future self, and I hope she follows there three major key rules!
