Things I wish I could tell my 11 year old self

  

Oh chubby year 7 girl life can only get better

• There will at some point be more to your life than running into the IT suite first in order to play games for 5 minutes. 

• You never master the messy bun but it’s okay, just move on and stop sticking your head upside and spraying that much hairspray. It’s not helpful. 

• Eat all the foods. At some point you get brainwashed into believing things like ‘sugar rots your brain’ and ‘Jaffa cakes don’t count as a healthy breakfast’. Bastards. 

• You do eventually pass maths, and guess what? You never ever use it ever again. 

• You turn into one of those obnoxious 6th form students and you finally get your turn to hurl insults at year 7s.

• It takes 16 years but eventually you wear contact lenses. Your depth perception is not that great but at least now you can wear winged eyeliner.

• You never learn how to do winged eyeliner.

• It was never and is never cool to own a Jane Norman bag. 

• School uniforms will never be flattering. 

• Please don’t post that really embarrassing status on Facebook, it will return to haunt you and no one cares that you’re ‘Luvin lyf xoxo’. 

• You might think your brother is really cool right now but in a few years you will realise your the more intelligent and sophisticated sibling (hahaha sorry). 

• Saturday’s don’t have to just be about watching X-factor and eating Chinese food.

• Enjoy that your mum still gives you money for clothes. It gets REAL expensive when you have to buy them.

• Bebo ceases to exist, sorry to break the news.

• School will be terrible till 6th form and then it will get a little better but still not great. 

• Just stay away from Superdrugs cheapest makeup, an orange makeup line and blue eyeshadow is not a good look.

Love, Robyn.
