Dear me of 2005: Start learning how to play the guitar, there is nothing wrong with being an introvert, you don't need a girlfriend, and DON'T SELL THE PLAYSTATION 2.
Dear me of 2009: Take the music/audio production courses now. Otherwise you'll spend the next few years barely getting through classes, completely miserable and apathetic because you have no idea what you want to do with your life. Also, save up your money. Seriously, if you realized how much money you put in that vending machine throughout one semester alone, your jaw would drop. You'll need that money later for some expensive music equipment and software. Also, start learning Japanese. Just trust me on this.

Dear 2009 RipVanTinkle
- That twinge of pain you feel in your back? It's going to render you bedridden over the next few years. That's Scheuermann's disease! The reason you don't have the curvature in your spine is because of your Ehler's Danlos Type-3: Hypermobility! They work against one another. GO TO THE SPINAL SURGEON SOONER AND GET THAT MRI!
So you're going to be sitting with excruciating pain while treated like a lab rat for medication for years. It's still unclear of when the pain will stop, but maybe if you could find the correct course of medication earlier before your tolerance is so high that you can't notice a derivative of morphine in tablet form. You'll avoid 4 years of suffering, even if it's still getting worse.
Dear 2012 RipVanTinkle
- Join the Escapist forums earlier! You'll love trying your hand at creative writing through the Role Playing section.
- For the sake of your sanity, choose Sociology instead of Criminology as an optional subject. You'll end up hating the latter.
-On another note, don't watch Neon Genesis Evangelion any time sooner. Being a psych major really enhances the experience. Don't dismiss Asuka immediately, she will become your favorite character. There's plenty of depth there that you'll love.
Dear Miscellaneous Date RipVanTinkle:
- A friend will offer to buy you any game you want for your birthday. Don't ask for Kane & Lynch! That's the day you'll learn not to base your purchases off "cool" trailers.

I would like to tell myself that I won't turn into something that I hate, but I am still afraid that will happen.
Past Colour-Scientist,
Don't cut off all of your hair. It looks awful and takes way too long to grow back!

Dear past Ahri,
When you get your thigh tattooed, please realize it's okay to stop at the two hour mark.
If you don't, you'll be unable to walk properly for a week.
Love,
Future Ahri
(Who suffered through four hours of tattooing, and the week's worth of limping that ensued)

Dear Me circa 2004,
See that girl there? Either try to be nicer to her, or don't be friends at all. It'll save you a headache must later on. Oh, and try to find something else to do a lunch rather than just wandering around. Trust me, it'll all make sense later on.
Love,
Me
PS: During any Anime Club parties, think before you take stuff. Oh, and make sure you get your Princess Mononoke DVD back after the meeting is over.
