There will be a girl, trust me you'll know the one, yeah, the one from drama. Right before you are about to finally ask her out she mentions not wanting a boyfriend and you stop yourself. When she asks what you were going to say the CORRECT answer is "That's too bad, because I really would like to be yours". It wasn't until MUCH later that she'll admit to wanting you to ask her out the entire time but thinking you weren't into her...yeah, you're BOTH young and stupid. BTW she gets in trouble with her parents a LOT, partially because you not asking her out means she gravitates to a bad crowd and that vapid friend of hers talks her into doing stupid things. Also, her parents are CRAZY, best thing to do is tell her how much hr being grounded suchs for both of you, better yet do it in front of her parents, they will suddenly become decent people.
Dude, if she lies to people but tells you that she can't lie to you, she's lying to you.
Dude, if you have a party and your friends have spiked drinks before, watch your fucking drinks.
Dude, if your brother is a scavenger, don't give him anything. He'll expect more.

When a girl asks you "Do you have a girlfriend" the correct answer is "No, why?" not "Nope" and then walking away *Slaps younger me upside the head*. Life isn't like the movies where things just work out and fate just magically takes care of you, you only get chances every once in a while so take them. Live life more like Jim Carrey in Yes man, it's for your own good.Oh and high school means nothing its just a prison to psychologically abuse you so try not to let it win to much.
For God's Sake, don't stick it in, around, or within 500 feet of the crazy. Do not entertain romantic notions towards the crazy. Don't chase after the crazy. Have a merry toast that the crazy is no longer in your life, and avoid future crazy.
The one quote I like to think of every day, and I only wish I had heard it sooner.
"Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is being scared to death and still pushing forward." - Someone whose name I forget.
Also:
-Think of the 5 people you look up to the most in your life. Are you at all like them? No, if you were you would be looking straight at them, fix that.
-Never tell yourself you can't do something. You're just looking at the wrong angle. (Ah, inside jokes only I will get...)
-Anyone can "know" something, what sets you apart is the initiative and effort put into it. If you ever find yourself saying "I know enough to pass the test", then you don't know it.
-If you look at someone and say "I need to get the hell away from him/her before they find out about...", then walk up and tell them what it is you screwed up on. If you do this immediately, you can usually find a way to fix it.
-Communication is never detrimental, though it is scary as hell. Talking the person you least want to somehow always works itself out.
-You can't memorize everything. Stop trying to, and learn the concept, the details will work themselves out.
On a more personal note:
-When she's been dating the guy for 5 years already, just move on. "Being friends" is not good enough.
-Don't break up with the girl who is your only partner when trying to make the coolest video game you ever could. It will not end well. (Admittedly, better than I thought it would)
-Measure angles from the normal, not the tangent. It will save you about 6 months of your life.
-That time in Spanish when you had 2 days to do the video you were assigned 3 months ago with no group, song, or video camera and you told yourself it would work itself out. It actually did... Never even picked up a camera.
-F = ma is the most useful thing you will ever learn.

Dear past me:
Try harder. Seriously, exert some fucking sense of perseverance you lazy ****. That is all.

Dear former self,
Keep your job, and stop looking at the calendar to calculate when you might be able to fake being sick without it being too redundant. There is simply no such thing as a perfectly cushy job you go to with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.
Also, try and take more five-course semesters, you fucking slacker.
Oh, and Spanish? Push that shit, and push it hard.
Beyond that? Um, don't worry too much, higher education is a complete joke. As long as you bring up suitable references, you can pick your nose for half the semester and bullshit your way across the other half and get flying aces. Also, you might want to consider checking out McGill College or Concordia. If the UQAM fosters such low standards in its Literature department, there is a fucking problem.
Love,
Your Jaded, Jobless Future Self.

Here is the deal dude, everyone gets crushed by one woman she will utterly desimate and destroy you. If you are lucky enough to not have this happen kudos. But at the end of the day everyone is crushed once and destroyed what makes you the man i have become is dealing with it.
Oh, accept that everyone you love and know and cherish is going to die eventually including yourself, so enjoy the time you have with them and treasure their memory and the experinces you had with them when your gone.
Also get stoned more, takes the edge off life.

Dear Past Me:
Those cowardly, entitled little gobshites who use verbal abuse to make you miserable every day because they know the rules allow them to say anything and walk away? Jump on them and beat their fucking faces in. Take the suspension. Trust me, it's worth it.
That gorgeous, athletic, intelligent, personable girl in your class, the one you fantasize about, the one you have wanted more than you want oxygen from the very first moment you realized girls were pretty? She doesn't want you. She doesn't even like you. You already know this but what you don't know is mooning after her for years will break your heart and serve no good purpose. Just give it up now. Concentrate on something you can have.
Start lifting weights now. Don't give it up because "you're too busy." What you really mean is you're too lazy, and that just ain't fuckin' good enough. Arnold Schwarzenegger only gets 24 hours in his day, and look what he did. Same with running.
Go to the dentist.
Some people are just terminally stupid. There is no explanation. Don't look for one.
Do not expect, under any circumstances, EVER, for "justice to be served." The system is not set up to protect you from scumbags, it is set up to protect scumbags from you.
Don't ever let anyone tell you it is antagonistic or unreasonable to expect a decent amount of reliability and work ethic out of people. You won't always get it, but you by God have the right to expect it.
You will get called the bad guy in many situations. This is because petty hypocrites do not like being called on their bullshit. If no one is telling you you're wrong, you are not doing your job.
Now get cracking,
Future Me

Whenever you feel embarrassed remember that you're the one thinking the worst things about you, not the others.
You can always change your current emotions and feelings with the sheer power of your mind, you just haven't noticed it yet.
You can learn something from everything, not a single second in your life has been wasted.
You are worth a million and don't you ever think that you're a wast of space.
Also, masturbation takes more time than you realize, spend that time on studying instead.
Sincerely
Future You

Always remember that;
1) People are and will act stupid, even more so if they don't know what they are talking about but insist they do.
2) People are lazy and will remain that way, unless prodded with electricity or fire.
3) People will not read or do research unless it is mandatory or they find the material interesting, the second of which is uncommon.
These are the three laws of humanity.
Learn them, expect that others don't know them, and realize that YOU are no exception to them.
But through conscious decision making, you can transcend them.
