Never fall for your best friend.

 I would tell you to stay in college, but if you had, I wouldn't be where I am now and with a brilliant guy. Things do happen for a reason. Love yourself.

 Smile. When you choose to look at the brighter side of life, a smile can help to take the pain away

 Things aren't going to happen the way you imagine, but don't let that stop you from enjoying what DOES come your way and don't ever change yourself for someone else. It's hard to understand now, but the perfect person is going to love you for exactly what you are, not what they think you should be.

 He's not worth the heartbreak. Don't even get started with him. Love is amazing but only with the man who can return that love. Take things slow. Guard your heart. You deserve so much more than this guy can even attempt to give you. Punch him in the face for me.

 Remember your roommate's boyfriend? Learn to like him, because believe it or not, some day you'll love him.

 It doesn't necessarily get better. Some people will always judge you by whom you love rather than who you are. Stay strong and know that your struggle is part of a great movement.

 It's not a phase, Meg. You like women. And it's really not the end of the world. In fact, it's only the beginning.
