Dear Freshman Me

This isn't a story, this isn't a work of fiction; this is real.
Dear Freshman Me is a project that I've been working on in my head for years. It's a primarily clustered and unorganized list of things and stories I wished I'd known when I was a freshmen in high school; things I wish I could go back in time to tell myself. But, since it's not possible to do that, I thought I'd publish them here so that you can either 1) consider taking them to heart if you are- in fact- a freshmen, or 2) read them for the fun of it and laugh at my stupidity. Either option works. Trust me, I laugh at myself a lot while writing these.
