Hi KC,
I'm 23 now, fifth year med student, in a relationship, a pastor in my fellowship, an exco in my hall, CEO of the book club, and loving God daily.
KC relax. Life is not as serious as you thought it was. For very special you, you need to know God has always had a plan for you and He's not about to let anything botch it. So you are mad that mummy had to make you change school at JSS3, when life just got very interesting? Wait till you see what happened next. You made the best choice in your life to follow Jesus and your life really just began.
Boys will always like you (lol, as a fine babe). There's no need to 'over-swoon' now. Give it time, always let time tell who they really are to you- friends, acquaintances, playmates or helpers. It's not like you are going to marry any of them, enjoy their company but keep it plain and simple.
You had a privileged upbringing, in church, at home, and in school. Don't let anyone bring you down for the choices you decide to make and take. It is you r life, not theirs. People will always want a say at it but keep them in their places.
Choices. You made many of those but you need to learn how to make them on your own. I know in the multitude of counsel there's safety but you've got to wean yourself of seeking people's approval before going on. Take calculated risks, enjoy your choice. Remember I said God has a plan for you, you won't miss it so stop being afraid to fly.
Embrace and love your body. Hairy and all. You don't have to shave your arms and legs. You'll get tired of it and it will just grow more. Anybody that doesn't like it should go swim in pacific ocean. You'll end up marrying someone that loves it in its fullness. That's the beauty of love. What you thought were your weak points are your selling points in the eyes of your beholder.

Learn how to study. I know you are naturally brilliant but you need to learn it for the sake of your future. You'll need it trust me. Be disciplined with your time. You look like a busy bee, and time management will be your only savior at a point.
Be a good friend. Like I said earlier, remember you are smart, blessed and graced up. Your advise matters. Don't be scared to tell your friends the truth whether they want to hear it or not! Trust me, they really want someone who will tell them the truth. There's no being goody two shoes for you. You are just a graced up lady. It's a privilege, share it.
When I look at the big picture now, there's not a thing I want to change in you, girl. I'm proud of you. But what do I know? We are only 23. But we are making progress.
I love you girl. Shine on.
P.S: you may need to improve on your physics!
