Top 10 Things I'd Tell Myself at 16

Hello me.

I can't tell you why or how, but I'm sending you this message from the future. It's 2003. We're 30 now, and there are a few things we need to cover. Pay attention.

10. Keep Exercising
If you don't, it's going to be tough to get in shape when you're older. Trust me.

9. Major in Something Computer Related
You'll end up working in the field, so you might as well get a head start.

8. Start Getting into Hockey Now
It will be your favorite sport in ten years or so. Might as well start watching now. (Don't worry. Texas will get a team.)

7. Take Some Art Classes
They will serve you well down the road.

6. Don't Go Get the Boat by Yourself
Just don't do it. Get some help.

5. Buy AOL Stock Early and Often
Sell it all right after the merger with Time Warner. Just do it.

4. Deliver the Attached Document to the FBI
I've attached a file outlining the significant events of three dates: 10/16/91, 04/19/95, 09/11/01. Please give this to the FBI or other government officials. They may not believe you, but it's worth a shot.

3. Your Rules Were Made to Be Broken
Like the one you'll make about not dating people you work with. Forget that one and save yourself some time.

2. Practice Your Guitar Everyday
If you start now, you could make something of this music thing. But if you don't practice, it's just gonna be a hobby.

1. On the Second Thought, Delete this Message and Forget Everything I've Told You
Your life is pretty good at 30. So, if you do anything to screw that up, I will personally come back in time to when you were six and beat you.
