| You're not going to listen to me anyway, but focus on making and keeping healthy friendships. Prioritize them over romantic relationships and toxic-but-super-fun friends. Once you start earning a decent salary, be frugal. Stop dating the lawyer -you know he's not the one. |

Quit smoking! You will quit eventually - thank goodness. But if you could quit now that would be even better!
Get an oil change for that car already. |

Don't fall in love with your career and sell your life to your employer. Don't be afraid to date that guy at work. Don't date addicts or alcoholics even if they are in recovery.
Buy a house in the best neighborhood you can afford. Invest in the stock market. |

Cut back on the drinking/partying and settle down a bit more. You know you aren't going to marry your boyfriend so don't let the relationship go on for 5 years- move on.

Spend a lot of time with your parents. The worst will happen and sooner than you think.
Quit smoking immediately. Thus quiet kind guy is the one. Stick it out. |

| Don't get married "because it is time." You love him, but aren't in love with him. When he cries because you want to break up with him, don't let that change your mind because you know he doesn't ring your bell. |

Dump that boyfriend who is not committing much faster.
Try for kids much earlier or you won't be having any. Don't take work so seriously, have more fun, save more money and don't the spend it on random purchases, travel more instead. Learn to cook and eat healthy food, stop hurting your health by eating out all the time. Go back to therapy and learn how to separate yourself from your dysfunctional family of origin, and how to deal with their dsyfunction and treat them in a loving way (but protecting yourself) when you do see them. |

| Your life might fall apart. But that doesn't mean it won't come back together even better than you could have imagined. |

For the love of god don't chase the dream, follow the money
Buy that house in California; I know $400k seems like a lot of money (I mean your childhood home is worth $40k in 2010), but that is dirt cheap where it is going. |

Your DH needs to find a different career. He should not go for the PhD.
Do not co-sign that loan for your brother in law. You are not going to be able to get pregnant without fertility treatments. It will be okay. |
