I used to roll my eyes at the grown ups, complaining how fast time goes and that it's June already.. But seriously guys, IT'S JUNE ALREADY!!!?!
Where did the time go!? (Another classic tell tale line of age)
However, although I may feel like an uber cool teenager, totally down with the kids, if I think about it I really have grown from that hormonal, naive little thing. (Not literally, of course. What a waste of 'you'll grow into it' outfits..)
Here's a few words to Me, circa 2005.
1. Most grown ups don't have a clue what they're doing or what they want to do with their life. They're blagging it, just play along.
2. Don't make too many plans for your future, they never work out.
3. You have the rest of your life to get too drunk. At least save it til you can afford nicer alcohol than a VK.
4. Mum and Dad are actually pretty cool people. Seriously. Be nicer.
5.. Typyn lyk diz iz horribl. EUUURRGGHHHH STOOOOOOOPPPP.
6. No matter how many times you etch a name into your schoolbooks, surrounded by a gazillion hearts and 4EVAZ and IDST's.. You are not meant to be. But this is a good thing, trust me.
7. Jane Norman clothes are not a good look.
ii)Von Dutch hats are not a good look.
iii) Having your hair up with one little strand pulled forward is not a good look.
8. Get yourself some interests. 'Watching TV' isn't the ideal filler to the activities part of a CV. Neither is MSN for that matter.
(Although, all those crazy symbols in your msn name that made it impossible to read your deeply profound lyric of choice may be exaggerated into 'excellent IT skills at a later date.)

9. Be careful what you put on Facebook. One day, your entire extended family will be on it (HEY GRANDMA!) so you may want to re-think that outfit choice to next week's social..
ii) I know you don't know what Facebook really is yet, but the sooner you ditch Bebo and get yourself on Facebook, the closer to a trendsetter you become.

10. Being a grown up is kind of the same as being a kid, except you just have to pay for everything. Enjoy your tax-free pocket money
