After I wrote my post, A Letter to My High School Self, I got to thinking about other things I wish I had known before.
- Planners
- Day-Timer Avalon, folio size: don’t bother. Don’t going to elaborate. Just don’t.
- Franklin Covey Sierra, classic size: it’s not worth it, stick with the desk size Avalon.
- Don’t second guess yourself on the Mead Shopping OrganizHer notebook and the Day-Timer Portable Malibu in Rose Gold. They are the right choices.
- Crafts by Cori (my side business)
- Work through your stash, quit buying!
- Lock up the business credit cards so you don’t buy more stuff.
- Stick to dishcloths, they are your only constant seller.
- Exercise
- Don’t stop doing the stretch routine you learned in dance class in high school. You’ll never be that flexible again.
- Keep walking, whether it’s the dogs or on the treadmill, especially while working on your Master’s Degree!

It just amazes me how inflexible I am now because I stopped stretch for a short period.

Oh yes, hindsight is 20/20! I’m sure I could think up a pretty good list too. Now that I’m 27 years old and trying to learn to tap dance for a play I’m auditioning for, I definitely would have wished I’d known how important dance would become in my life when I decided to quit in elementary school.

Good luck with your audition!

Gosh isn’t it wild how flexibility leaves us?! Going to check out your side hustle I love dish towels!

Hey Cori!
Oh the things I would tell my younger self… well I always say that all the things I have gone through made me the person that I am today. However there are those small details that would just make life that much easier. Exercising in school would definitely be one of those!

Oh, I agree. I didn’t touch on the big things because I know they made me who I am. It was the little things that I’m kicking myself over and thinking Why did you stop?
