The beautiful Jess tagged me to do this, and I thought it was a nice idea, so here it is, all the things i would tell my 15 year old self.

Dear 15 year old Laura,

Things seem bleak right now, but really you're just being dramatic, which you will come to realise soon. You're not far off from meeting the meet the guy that will turn your life around, he'll come into your life, change you for the better, and stick around. Love him with all you've got because Lord knows he loves you more you than you deserve, and he deserves everything you've got. He'll encourage you to do things you never thought you could do (like go to uni) and support you with all your failings (you'll fail your driving test at least twice - it'll suck).

When you get to college shit will hit the fan and you'll wish you'd have stayed at your old school with all your old friends. You'll think this for like 3 days and then you'll meet a girl who likes your jacket, and you'll think she has cool eyeliner. Looking back now she wore far too much, but so did you, so you rocked the panda look together. When you meet her you'll realise that life at your new college isn't all bad and that you have someone you can talk to about everything you've got going on your life (which will fix itself, by the way!). Speaking of talking, talk less in your philosophy lessons, your teacher will hate you for it and you'll need her on your side when it comes to applying to university! (Thanks for the laughs Jess)

You'll also meet a girl with crazy cool hair who'll you'll want to be friends with just so people think you're cool by association. When you get to know her you'll realise there is more benefits to being her friend and she'll be one of only 2 people you'll keep in touch with when you leave. Go to more Fever Thursdays with her, your body will hate you and you'll feel like your dying the next day but you'll regret not having more when you're older. Although, don't drink 10 jaegerbombs in one go EVER, you'll never be able to drink them again and Russel Howard will be pissed at you (inside joke).

When it comes to university, get yourself in a routine early, third year will kick your ass an you'll need to be prepared. Choose where you live wisely, paying rent over the summer is a bad idea! Work as much as possible and save money, you'll move in with Ross when you graduate!

Try not to stress too much kid, you'll end up exactly where you want to be, moving in with the person you love and ultimately you'll be happy, really happy!

Lots of love,

A much happier and wiser version of you
