Dear 25 yo me- You are going to meet a tall man in a bar. Don't dance with him, don't talk to him. Stay out of bars. |
Put every penny (including whatever pennies you can borrow) in Microsoft. |
You have about 6 major life decisions coming up in the next decade. Left to your own judgement and heart, you will be wrong every time.
You need to watch this episode of Seinfeld - "The Opposite" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKUvKE3bQlY George : Why did it all turn out like this for me? I had so much promise. I was personable, I was bright. Oh, maybe not academically speaking, but ... I was perceptive. I always know when someone's uncomfortable at a party. It became very clear to me sitting out there today, that every decision I've ever made, in my entire life, has been wrong. My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every of life, be it something to wear, something to eat ... It's all been wrong. |
X1000 !! |
That he's already met the right girl and start dating her now! Other than that he has a really good life to look forward to. I would tell him to be more generous with his time, not just his money. |
Travel, have adventures, take risks, have sex with many women(seriously), put some money, every month or so, into a good mutual fund and when life falls apart, which it will(sorry to tell you that)and you're too sick to work, you'll be able to be independent instead of DEpendent on your wife,with whom you'll have a troubled, difficult marriage. Better you should never have married her. |
What?!? |
Don't marry him. 10 years later, you hwill ave a wonderful life. You really will. A great, flexible career, two early elementary kids who are FUN and AMAZING and the complete opposite of what you thought mothering would be like. You will run marathons. You will have a wide circle of friends who you can count on when family is far away. But, you will always wonder if you settled. 25 is too young to get married. 26 is too young to start having kids. Just wait. That's what I'd tell her. :/ |
Wear bikinis whenever you can. Pregnancy will leave you with serious stretch marks. |
Wish I would have gotten that Home Econ. degree. Only regret. |
Don't marry for love, marry for money. |
Give a fat man a second look. |
Invent an application that would allow you to search peoples photos and profiles. You should call it MyFace.com |
That even though 25 feels old, and it may feel like you are wasting your time, haven't met anyone, and haven't even really started your career yet, don't worry. The time between 25 and 30 is when things really get going. |
You'll get everything you want. Recognize it when it comes to you and be grateful. |
