Notes to a Teenage Self

1. There is a programme called Gossip Girl and it will change your life. A little bit of Blair's sassiness   will help you out in numerous occasions, they don't call her Queen B for nothing and the overflow of beautiful, fabulous and very expensive clothes, on the equally beautiful and fabulous cast, will help find you solace in amongst all that history coursework.

2. Something they don't teach you at school is the importance of eyebrows. Weird facial hair yes, but incredibly important none the less. So don't deal with them alone! In most cases they are a 2 man job, so unless you want to look like you're permanently surprised go to a professional. In a few years time what you think are caterpillars, are actually bang on trend, Cara Delevingne.. Lily Collins.. etc.. etc

3. Boys are literally insane at this age, so stay far away with your Jacqueline Wilson books because "Girls in Love" is all the romance you need. Don't waste time on very questionable choices just because everyone else is starting to pair off, they are a weird species and you don't need that drama in your life, Hollyoaks is enough for one girl to deal with. 

4. One day you're going to want a Mulberry Bayswater so bad it will create an aching in your chest and a sense of un-fulfillment in your life that will never go away. So do yourself a favour and start saving now, you've got a long way to go before that £895.

5. Your teenage metabolism was grafted by the gods, so indulge in this whilst you can, because it won't be long before you can feel that not so little muffin top expanding mid Gourmet Burger Kitchen Session. 

6. There is a place called M.A.C and it's where the magic happens. Flawless skin in a Studio Fix sweep and a model pout within minutes of an encounter with Ruby Woo, M.A.C is a place of dreams.  Put down the Collection 2000 and let M.A.C do its thing. 

7. Your music taste will not evolve much and the Panic at the Disco lyric in your Msn personal message wasn't fooling anybody. Embrace the cheese because in a few years you'll experience the Oceana Disco room and it will all make sense- Fact. 

8. £2.49 Cider is disgusting , just don't. 

9. You should have probably forwarded that chain-mail message condemning you to an eternity of bad luck, sorry.

10. Worrying is a waste of time, because by the time you get to your third year at University you'll be bouncing back from mini breakdowns quicker than you can say "Britney 2007".
