I don’t know when you’ll be reading this, if at all, but I think I’ll give you some goals. You may have achieved them, you may not have, but try your best, eh?
Firstly, just some general advice: Don’t repeat mistakes, don’t give up on what you believe and try your best. There are also more specific things that I think you should have tried to do. Some are important while others are not so but don't forget that 2010 me would kind of like to do them!
1) Get into vet school - no longer a dream of mine. I'm loving zoology too much!
2) Qualify as a vet - same as above!
3) Visit the USA
4) Meet a DFTBA artist (Met Alex Day, Tom Milsom, EddPlant, and Tyranasauruslexx 14/08/10)
5) Meet an author whose book I already own rather than meeting them and buying their book for the sake of having it signed (Met John Green 14/08/10)
6) Pass my driving theory test (1st time - 16/07/10)
7) Pass my driving test (2nd time - 11/11/10)
8) Read the whole Bible
9) Go to the top of the Eifel Tower (In my original draft, I apparently wanted to go to the top of the Eifel Towel. This, you don't have to do...) - I maybe haven't been to the very top due to crazy queues but I did go most of the way up (via the stairs!) summer 2012

14) Complete Terrie's challenge (Completed 13/07/2010)

16) Get married
17) Meet a Nerdfighter (not including Terrie!) (I met a lot on 14/08/10 at the SoA gig!)

19) Do some missionary work - Beach mission at Leysdown 2011, 2012,
20) Use my limited knowledge of Spanish in a real situation so my GCSE is worth it!
21) Visit Africa22) Be a Googlewhack (Sort of... does this count?)
23) Update my work Experience blog up to today! (To be honest, I don't think this is possible any more. =/ In fact I deleted the blog )
24) Be a mum
25) Ride a motorbike
26) Compose a song
27) Paint a massive painting (A1 size or bigger!)
28) Have a pet dog or cat
29) Drive on a beach
30) Pass my driving test first time (Failed 20/9/10 *sadface*)
31) Do Matt's Chocolate Button Mathmatics with actual chocolate buttons
32) Eat fish custard (Done! It's actually, kind of tasty, in a fishy, custard-y sort of way... Autumn 2011)
33) Buy a new 4x4 Rubik's cube (Done! Although I can't remember when)
34) Buy a ridiculous number of Randoms and analyse just how ‘random they really are (26/07/10 - see 'Define 'Random'' Post)
35) Attempt NaNoWriMo (Done November 2010)
36) Complete NaNoWriMo!! (Completed 30th November 2010 at about 11.30pm!)
37) Learn to dive
38) Get over my 'fear' of contacts
39) Successfully blog every week for a year (excluding holidays)
40) Visit Venice
41) Go outside the EU
42) Complete my BSc
Now, future self, feel free to add more ambitions, more goals, but don't remove any from the list! Also, putting a “completion date next to any you've done might be a good idea!
Future self, I hope you've been trying to complete some of these. There may be some you fail to do but don’t let that get your hopes down! Try your best and don't give up.
Love Hannah
