I’d tell me to save money for an early retirement.

I’d warn myself not to drink alcohol.

Marriage. It's a trap and you'll hate it.

Children. You'll love them but it's still a trap.

Men. Not worth it.

Don't force yourself to spend too much time with other people. You don't need or really enjoy being with them.

Don't stop studying. Go straight from MA onto PhD. You'll regret it if you don't.

Turn your thesis into a book. You'll be ahead of the new wave of theory.

Don’t smile at that man on New Year’s Eve in 1993, he’s an abusive prick. And don’t get into a rebound relationship with that man you think adores you, as an ego boost, he’ll break your heart 27 years later.

Put as much money into Apple as you can, you’ll be minted!
