What would you tell yourself?~
Let's say that you somehow come across a time machine. It's got a flux capacitor and everything. If you could use this to go back in time and meet yourself in third grade, what would you tell yourself? Knowing what you know now, what advice would you give?
Of course, there's always stock tips and lottery numbers too... :P I'd tell myself that Ms. White is a bitch and to enroll in English 121 in twelfth grade, at the very least. Worse things have happened to me than getting a mean teacher back in high school, but for some reason this is the first idea that pops into my head. I must hate Ms. White a lot more than I thought. D: |
I might tell myself to relax a little bit, and see that life isn't all about school work, and making good grades, and to go out and do more, but I kind of like who I am, and what I've done now, so I'm not too sure.
|
D: I would definitely tell myself which boys to avoid, because they're heartbreakers! And I would have gotten myself into football a lot sooner, so I could have enjoyed meh favorite teams for longer XP
|
I would definitely tell myself to not be so sarcastic with everyone.
I pissed a lot of people off. I would also tell myself to practice basketball early so I'd actually be a help to the team. |
Uhhhhh, I'm drawing a blank.
There's nothing that I really want to say to a third-grade me. Seventh grade, yeah. But what I want to say to seventh-grade me isn't something I could explain to third-grade me. Third grade me would be like "WUT? OH HAY YOU WANNA SEE MY TARZAN IMPRESSION? HEY, DO YOU STILL LIKE POKEMON? WOW, CAN I SEE YOUR ROOM? YOU'RE COOL, I WANNA HAVE A CHARACTER LIKE YOU IN MY GAME." Eight year old me was... Well, that. o_o |
I'd tell me to go to South.
That may or may not have made my life easier. |
I don't know, maybe not move so far away from my family. I live in Aussie (Australia) but the rest of my family lives in the US. Mainly Maine out of all states. So tell myself not to move so far away also don't date this girl named Nette ... She is whacko! But thats about it .. all I can think of.
|
lotto numbers, then tell myself to buy gold bars with it
xD |
hmm... I'd probably saying something uplifting since it was about 1998 that I was going through some tough problems in school. Told myself also to talk to more people in junior high.
|
Give a list of lotto nubmers to myself and say to give it to my parents and tell them they have to buy anything i want since i won that for them.
:] |
I would tell myself not to take things so seriously and enjoy childhood while I still can. I would also tell myself not to think myself so infallible and that true wisdom is only gained through error.
|
I would definitely get some lottery numbers down and write some song lyrics. (make money from the lottery, and get an occupation being a songwriter. xD.)
If I had to go back to 3rd grade though, I would first tell myself to stop eating fast-food. (aka, McDonalds.) It was horrible to try it lose it all in high school. Glad I did though. Also, don't take AP US Goverment & Politics and AP World History. It does not help a lot and it didn't help a lot in college. Stop biting my nails. Nothing is nice with having ugly finger-nails. (I wear fake nails now. T_T.) I would also tell my 3rd grader self to type gaiaonline everyday in 2003. (get yourself a halo. xD.) |
Well, first I'd stare at the fact I was so small back then ;D
Then, I'd tell myself to stay in chinese school and not go to the after school so I'd never no this really annoying guy that calls me "amo" [combination of Amy and emo] all the time. Also, don't tell Melissa anything, she's horrible at keeping secrets. And a bunch of other stuff... |
well if i had a time where i met my other younger self. . . i probley wouldnt have anything to say. . . because my whole life i always told myself if i new what happened before i made my choices i could just make it worse. . .
but on the off chance i would listen to my older self i would probably say keep your positive attitude and be better friends with david. . . .( my friend from middle school david who died of cancer this year. . . we lost touch and i feel so bad about it. . . ) |
This is a pretty good question because I was thinking about this the other day...but more in the context of if I went back in time to grow up again but still had the information I have now would my life be different?
If I could tell my 3rd grade self anything it would be that dad is currently cheating on mom with another woman and plans on divorcing mom when 4th grade rolls around. Then I would proceed in telling myself information about the woman, where she lives, and her two kids so that my grade school self could, 1. totally burn dad about it and make him feel like complete shit 2. warn mom so that she can save up enough money to move out of the crap house and get a better one fit for 3. Another thing I would tell myself is that an evil, retarded, man will start dating mom and will be the WORST thing to happen to us and the family so that my grade self could somehow manipulate things to where mom never got married to the asshole and found someone better. ((Even though at the time I already knew what a jerk he was and begged mom not to marry him)) But I'd rather just grow up again from 3rd grade with the knowledge I have now because then I could do anything and if a situation arose I'd know how to handle it because I'm flippin 20 now. ><; 6th grade was hell because at the time I was dealing with a lot of crap from home and the kids at school. But if I went back I could totally own those little shits and make sure mom never married my current step dad. All I can say is...everything happens for a reason...so the past should be left alone...no matter how horrible. |
I wouldn't go back to in time. I'd just take the flux capacitor and try finding Marty McFly and Doc.
|
A good question actually.
I think I would tell myself that no matter what, there are still people that are worth trusting. School time was never really good for me, since I was very shy and I got picked on almost constantly. Then I closed up and probably rejected a few, genuine friends out of sheer paranoia. I think I would also tell myself that I should never let anyone tell me what not to do with my life, that I should follow my dreams no matter what. |
I have no idea what a flux capacitor is and I'm also not sure what I'd tell myself.
Probably that even if I get really mad at that girl who always lies and makes up stories, I shouldn't hurt her feelings by saying I don't want to be her friend in 4th grade. And that...I should seriously pick out a good dress for graduation. Otherwise, I'll end up wearing this very weird dress to it. :\ And to not put Quest as an elective even if it was my 6th and last choice. And, for my education career's sake, write on TOPIC during the writing exams! x__x Plus to start incorporating study habits since I was going to need to study when I enter junior high and high school and college. (I used to not have to study at all in elementary school...it was so easy...) |
Haha, I would stop the entire Salem Witch thing in general. Or maybe slap Hitler in the face. Now that would be fun. Then Nazis would stab and shoot me in procession, and that wouldn't be so fun. So many choices....~ |
I would tell myself to do better by turning in my homework on time. Yes, I have a problem with it.
|
I wouldn't go back in time. Everything happened for a reason.
|
I wouldn't change anything from before I was 13.
No, one thing. I would tell nine-year-old-me what was happening to her homework packets, then go to nine-year-old-my-then-supposed-friend-Leila and tell her that I was from the future and that she would positively regret throwing nine-year-old-Sarah's homework out the window. (We're cool now, though.) I don't think I could convince thirteen-year-old-me to do anything. Thirteen-year-old-me would be a complete skeptic about the whole time-travel thing. (Thirteen-year-old-me was a fresh atheist and enjoying the world of skepticism.) If I could, it would be little things. I would tell myself to bring the cellphone to that party, or sleep in the other room at that sleepover, or have some damn courage and talk to people. Of course, the problem that was ordinarily created by those incidents has been fixed, so I'm not sure what I'd do. Tell myself not to take what I love for granted, that's what I'd do. |
If I could go back in time and give advice to myself as a third grader I'd tell myself to start playing piano with my free time and get a good teacher and learn all scales and start classical training, read the Bible and get close to God, study and don't get behind on work, build a good relationship with older sister and Dad, be friendlier and more outgoing, be vegan, don't eat junk food and watch your portions. I'd tell myself to spend more time with my grandmas before they pass away.
I'd also probably tell myself not to get involved with any online sites as I have an addictive personality. If I'm not addicted to one thing it's always another. >___> |

I suppose, since I just lost my beloved cat, that I'd tell my 3rd grade self to take good care of her kitten, and give the kitten hugs for me.
But really, my 3rd grade self doesn't need to worry about the problems I face as an adult. |
