Your 8 Year Old Self

8 year-old me would remind me why I don't want kids haaaaaaaa.

I dunno, I think 8 year-old me would be curious as to what the heck digital media is, what grad school means and enjoy the fact that I have my own cat LIKE A REAL GROWN UP.

22yo Nichole vs 8yo Nichole... very contrasting, but my younger self enjoyed playing a lot (and also watching the 2000 Olympics which were held in my home city of Sydney) while the current me is more of a funny critic on music, and also some other stuff I catch around the internet. I was also quite the little athlete at school when I was younger, winning quite well in my division, and I still have my near-intelligent mind today.

You sould like a well rounded person.

Hahaha well 8 year old me would be disappointed that I still have a gap in my teeth, but at 21 I've fully accepted it. I haven't made any profound accomplishments on paper, but I think I am a happier/healthier me and younger me would be happy older me has come to terms with myself.

Gaps are really cute tho. A ton of models have them.

My 8 year old self would be very disappointed by the lack of maturing from then to now ;(

No, you're an adorable, swishy little marshmallow. ;x

My 8 year old self would be pretty angry that I copped out and because a linguist and computer scientist, rather than a mechanical engineer.

My 8 year old self probably wouldn't even know who I was lmao. I've changed so much. The first thing he'd notice is that he will one day have to wear glasses. That would be both a good thing and a bad thing for him. The next thing would be that I now speak German, and not Spanish that he'd been learning, which might be confusing to him. He'd be happy that I became better at socialising, and would likely become encouraged by that. He would also see me living alone doing whatever I want and find me totally cool for that alone, because he enjoyed having free reign. That and when I was 8 my awesome cousins were just moving to their own places. If he watched me enough, he might be shocked to find that I became a social smoker; good thing I don't go out too much. We'd sit and discuss Pokémon for a long time I reckon, and space and I'd discuss all the astrophysics I'd learnt with him, and hopefully he'd feel pleased I'd still kept up with being quite intelligent. I'd also warn him about higher level maths. He'd hopefully look up to me and be pleased with the person he saw in front of him, and if he did, well I wouldn't be happier.

"You're gay? Gross!"

My eight year old self would both love me and hate me - I'm tall and dress exactly the same, but I have piercings, a tattoo and I've dated the icky monsters known as boys.

We'd be able to play every hand clapping game ever, though.

Mine would sure comment on how I changed personality wise.
I'm much more quiet, and..depressive. :/

He would probably be wondering why am I so sad.

My eight-year-old self would probably be surprised about the career path I've embarked on, but would be impressed that I remained driven and achievement-focused over the years. Although younger me might have been disappointed by things that didn't work out (even though some of those things have led to new opportunities, but that's only apparent in hindsight). And, since this is a Pokemon forum, and I started playing Pokemon about a month before I turned eight, my younger self would probably be somewhat amazed by the fact that I still play Pokemon games, and by how much I've learned about Pokemon over the years.

Mine would be like "Wow. My future self is studying overseas now and is having the time of her life with new friends and experiences. So cool.", but would also be like "Why is my future self so lazy and good at procrastinating?! -_-" So yeah. Mixed reactions.

"did you curse? i'm telling on you"

sigh, yes i was that kid.

"What happened to you?"
