    If you could go back in time and meet yourself when you were 18 years old, what would you tell yourself? And why?

    I'm only 20 so I'm not sure if this really counts, but I'd tell myself to study harder and not worry about girls so much. They come and go all the time, and trying to force a relationship to happen just sets you up for disaster.






    And i'd tell myself to not drink so much on school nights :lol:

    I'd tell myself the last 20 Melbourne Cup winners. Back to the future ftw!

    You could tell your younger self to study harder and stop slacking, but would you really do it? I doubt I would.

    I would. If there was a genuine 30 year old version of me pleading to me to study or else i'll be miserable later in life, then I'd take that advice

    Heh.....I'd lean over and whisper, "Insert hopper A into higgenbottom Q 1/2." Then I'd walk away...And watch the hilarity follow. Then I'd run back and do the lottery number thing.

    Why...? Entertainment purposes, and I needs money.

    I'd tell myself to spend more time with my Grandpa, not worry about the boy I was obsessed with, ignore my bitchy roommate, stop taking the antibiotics I was taking because they cause more harm than help, and to try to be more social.

    Oh and the lottery thing too. Mostly because G-pa loved playing the lottery but never won big though. :p

    Spend more time with family and not spend my money on stuff that I would break a few months later anyways.

    that seems arrogant fastbullet, maybe you just perceive things that way!



    I'd tell myself nothing because things turned out well (only 21, plenty of time for things to go wrong!) and ive seen what happens in the butterfly effect :)

    Haha, that's like 1½ years. But if we say 16 years, I'd tell myself to study much harder!! And appreciate things more. Not get into trouble. But I doubt I'd listen to myself, cuz I didn't really listen to anyone ._.

    I'd tell myself some winning lottery numbers. The why is obvious.

    Since the next logical question is why not do something else - by 18 my course for the next decade was pretty well set and couldn't have been turned around by anything other than a whole lot of money. If I had caught up with myself at around age 10, that would be a different story.

    "I would tell myself the lotto numbers for a 50m+ win! "

    Did you ever watch the series Lost? Remember Hurley? I think I'd stay away from trying to beat the system using an advantage like time travel...
