Question of the Day
If you could go back and tell your 16 year old self 5 things what would they be?
Re: Question of the Day
1. He isn't worth it. You end up breaking up anyway. Don't drag it out and waste everyone's time. You're 16! Go have fun!
2.You know that other guy that drives you crazy? You end up marrying that guy and you couldn't be happier.
3. Take your stereo unit out of your car. It WILL get stolen the day before Christmas break.
4. You don't want to go to med school. Don't waste two years of your life being a pre-med/bio major. You will hate it and switch to something completely different.
5. You will eventually drive a car with a working trunk. Promise!
1. As hard as it is to believe, your mom really will become your best friend, so cut her some slack. Also, she really does know best, especially when it comes to boys. But make your choices, and your mistakes anyway.. they were all valuable, and have taught you so much.
2. Spend as much time as possible with Nanny and Pop Pop, even if it means being in a hospital. The memories will be worth your momentary discomfort. Watching them, in love, will teach you so much.
3. In fact, enjoy this year, and your innocence, as best you can. When you wake up on your 17th birthday to news of Pop Pop's passing, you will be sad. You will grieve. But remember his laughter, as he would want you to. And know that you will always feel extra close to him.
4.Relax.. you will get your first kiss shortly after turning 17, and your first real boyfriend shortly after. And they WON"T be the same guy! haha.
5. You have a good head on your shoulders, a solid personality, and trust me, you're not fat. You will make some good choices, and some not-so-good choices. My only real advice is to be more confident in your life. But I promise that in the end, you'll be happier than you ever thought possible.
After 2 years of TTC, lots of tests, and a Hysteroscopy/Laparoscopy to remove several polyps,
Clomid/IUI #1 3/14: cancelled due to surprise BFP 3/8/14.
Beta 1 3/11: 398 Beta 2 3/13: 728 Beta 3 3/20: 11,482
Surprise BFP turns into Surprise Twins!

This may be my favorite QOD so far!
1. Chill out, you worry about the dumbest things.
2. Study more, you will need to get more scholarship money so you are not in debt.
3. Don't get wrapped up or depressed about not having a "boyfriend", you would look back and realize you had more fun then any of your friends that got serious so young and will laugh at all the craziness dating/kissing antics. Your friends will admit they were jealous of you and your independence and freedom. Enjoy this time.
4. You will be more successful and happy with your life then any of those mean people in high school...ignore them...some of them even apologize later in life.
5. STOP fighting with your parents, they are your biggest allies and will be your best friends down the line..your step father will turn into your biggest hero so stop hating him.
1. Yes, you do have the right attitude towards boys- keep it up and you will (eventually) find the right guy- it may just be a decade longer than you anticipate.
2. Yes, you did the right thing by ditching that silly phone answering job after a week and taking the Park Service job- stop stressing about it.
3. Next year skip basketball- that coach is horrid and you don't need the stress in your life.
4. When you start feeling sick next year--- GO TO THE DOCTOR, no it doesn't just go away, yes, you will still get to run cross country, and no it isn't anything you can't handle so don't ignore it.
5. Enjoy your family- they drive you nuts (especially that kid brother of yours) but they are amazing and spend every moment you can with them- you will look back happily on all those memories and the kid grows up to be amazingly cool
1. These people are not your real friends give it a year and you will meet true friends who will have your back and be there for you when you need them most.
2. Be glad you're single and enjoy it. You will learn exactly what you want a I promise he comes sooner than you think.
3. Study more college is harder than you think.
4. Enjoy being young while you can. You grow up super fast after high school and you won't get it back.
5. Don't worry about sex you will eventually lose your virginity but it's not as big of a deal as you think. Learn patience and keep it.
1. DO YOUR HOMEWORK!
2. Your parents are not the enemy. And believe it or not, they really do know everything. It may not seem like it now, but you will appreciate the sacrifices they made to put you into a Catholic school.
3. Those rumours going around about you won't be around forever. People will forget how they treated you. You can be the bigger person and move on.
4. Those worthless guys that come along and destroy you won't last and fade away (eventually). There is a really great guy out there who will treat you with the respsect that you deserve. He comes later in life than you expect, but it's all worth the wait.
5. Be proud of who you are. All those crazy experiences you're going to have, and never in a million years thought you would have them, will make you a stronger person than you ever thought you could be. It might seem like you're in a dark place, but you will see the light. I promise.
1. Relax. You're going to take things more seriously than you need to. Like in college, don't worry about all those extracurriculars. Have fun because none of that crap will get you hired after college!
2. Sex. Don't rush into. Just be patient. It will be worth it. (PS. you're going to meet an awesome guy when you're 19, be nice to him!)
3. Your credit card. PUT IT AWAY! You're going to be stupid and rack up debt that will prevent you from doing awesome things like buying a house when you want to.
4. Your theatre minor. Drop it! It's going to cause you a lot of long, frustrating hours and it's not worth it.
5. Your first "real" job. Don't rush into it. And don't rush into moving out. Yes living with Mom & Dad after college isn't ideal but rent is expensive!! And later in life you will agonize about having moved 3 hours away from your family.
