Dear 21 Yr Old Robin,



Dear 21-year-old-self,
Hey I learned to delivery messages from the future, and am risking the butterfly effect to get this message to you. So listen up!

Stop drinking keystone. You are gonna like dark brews.
Blue moons.
And Yuenglings.

Also this will help you NOT be dunk after two keystones!

On your 21st birthday, tonight. You are gonna drink jäger. It will be the first and last time.

Take pass/fail for the real bad business class, and DO NOT cry when the professor kicks you out of his office when you ask for help.

Sit next to the smart kids in class. Get in their study groups. 

Learn to vomit whilst dranking. You'll thank me later.

Stop going home every weekend.

Get over the fact that your little sister knows everybody on campus. See above for how to meet everyone...

You will finally becomes friends with your sister after years of being gawd awful to each other.

She will become your person.

Sleeeeeep late! 

Call in to work a few times. You aren't staying there long term. All those crap jobs you are doing for them wont pay off.
Make your friends watch Star Wars, their husbands will thank you one day.

There is life after college.

Have a party at mom and dads while they are gone. Stop being such a chicken shit! 

Don't live with a girl that has the same name as you. Just trust me.

Start running. You might hate it but you won't live in those mountains forever, then you'll be faster actually running

Transfer to a GOOD college with a basketball team, 'cuse, duke, anywhere!!! 

Drink at home, it makes tolerating your batty family easier.

Tell mom you are drinking, your an adult now!

Ask yourself daily "what would Jack Bauer do?"

Spend some summer nights sitting on the porch with Max in your lap. He will be your cat for the rest of your life, but he won't be around forever.

You and TDubs broke up, you think you're being strong....you're not. It's ok to feel sad. It's ok to feel anything.

Be real to yourself.

Go easy on that one guy, you finally became available...

Continue to work on the house with Dad, that shit will stay with you forever. Same with working on your jetta.

REFUSE to junk the jetta! You replace it with a golf and its a POS! It is worth the money to rebuild the engine in the jetta.

Brush up on trivia, you'll be playing a lot next summer.
Don't moon on the highway unless you've tanned for at least a month. 

You're gonna get skinny fat but it won't last. So you can quit starving yourself now!

One time you're gonna fly to Cali. 3 HOTTIES are gonna be on a Bach trip you are gonna sit with them. One will offer you a drink.... TAKE IT! You'll always wonder if a great story could have come from that.

On a more serious note;
You don't know it but this next year you are gonna find your true and loyal friends. Its gonna be hard. But hang in there. He is gonna show up when you least expect it. Take TDubs call during finals week, you will question whether or not to answer it, but do it. And it will all be in His perfect timing. You made the right choice, you weren't ready, you needed to grow, and have faith.

You know you are gonna see him at your best friends wedding anyways. You have no idea how fun that wedding is going to be. And how different things will between you and TDubs. It will be the start of something amazing.

Low and behold in another year, you'll be at another wedding... :)
