30DBC Day 4: List 5 things you would tell your 16 year-old self if you could.

I just turned 18 last June :)) It's not so long ago and I haven't change a lot. Telling my 16 year-old self things will be just like telling it to my present self. So, in this post, I'll list things I want to tell myself.

1. Delete the word 'procrastination' from your dictionary.

Me: This will be hard but I hope you can do it.

Me: With all these distractions present around me, how can I be productive!? I can just sleep, or surf the net, or watch the television instead of doing my school works. I can do it an hour before my first class anyway.

Me:  Shut up! Stop being lazy and do all the work that needs to be done long before it is due. Be productive you spoiled brat!

2. Spend wisely.

When I'm at school, I always end up spending too much on food. It's hard to study in a place surrounded by restaurants and cafeterias, y'know. I know it's not a bad thing, but I think I eat more than what is enough. I want to lose weight, you see, and eating too much is not helping me achieve that goal. And I hate the feeling of regret after spending and eating too much :(

3. Read! Read! Read!

As a student, this is one of the biggest problems I have in my academic life. I hate reading. Especially when the text to read is too long and boring and long and deep and long. I hate reading my notes and my school books. But I learned to love reading novels where my favorite movies are from just this semestral break. And I hope that the love I found in reading these novels will help me in overcoming my laziness at reading my school papers. Wish me luck!

4. Speak more.

I know some of my friends would say I speak too much, but I actually am not speaking too much. I speak with you too much because we're friends and that's what friends do. But when I'm with somebody I'm not that really friends with, I tend to zip my lips and just keep the thoughts I want to say to myself. I feel so antisocial. And I'm not like that. I want to be friends with everyone and have a good relationship with them.

5. Blog daily.

I'll be honest with you. I really don't know what to write for the fifth item so, yeah, blog daily. As you can see, the blog challenge really is intended to be done everyday in 30 days. But I already failed in the fourth day. But I did told you about how I can not do this everyday, maybe because of my school works and my social life. I really want to fill this blog with posts about myself, the world, and everything that comes in between. This blog also serves as a practice for my writing skills. For the second time, wish me luck! :)
