Don't you be afraid of trying hard for what you dream of. Never underestimate yourself, you are smarter and more talented than you believe you are. Better go for a creative profession, but if you end up doing something else be the best of it. Learn English, French and German. Take it easy.

 Think before you act, try not to lose a friend.

 He isn't worth it. Don't waste anymore time on that jerk, there are much better guys out there for you.

 It's good to love your individuality, but don't rebel just for rebellion's sake. If you deliberately do the opposite of what everyone else is doing, you are as controlled by convention as they are. Be true to yourself.

 Serve your country in either the military or peace corps. Join something bigger than yourself, you will be better for it.

 Don't lose yourself trying to be just like that girl he's dating. Someday he's going fall for who you are. Because you're amazing.

 thank you for getting on the plane, P.S. mom was right, bring extra socks and underwear.

 Tell the truth. Your parents are smarter than you give them credit for, and they will always be more angry at you for lying than for whatever it is you did.
