Stop caring about everyone else, be confident and hold your head high. High school sucked, but college is where you're going to thrive. Don't worry, when you go through rush, your sisters loved you from the very start.

 Give the nice guy a chance; it will save you from a lot of heartache.

 Don't be so careless with yourself and other people. don't always go with the flow and stand up for yourself

 Dont tell yourself that he'll be different this time... because he won't.

 You are as strong as you thought. You find him, and he's better than you've ever dreamed. He's tall, handsome, funny, sweet and loves you more than you'd ever imagine. He's also a U.S Marine, but the distance and deployments don't matter.

 Yes, dropping out of your dream college was the worst decision EVER, but it may have saved your life.

 Go for your first choice. Don't aim lower, because you might find out later that you could've had the one you wanted, but it's too late now.

 Cherish the times you were young and careless, cherish the times you spent rolling down the green hills at your grandfather's farm and cherish your childhood, because after that... it's all downhill from there
