People will do you no good, only god. Believe in yourself and god, no one else wishes the best for you but your parents. AND don't ever let someone stop your from reaching your dreams and desires, whoever may that be.
Live your life as if you'll live forever and prepare for your Akhra like you'll die tomorrow.
It's okay to feel lonely and like you dont belong. And don't forget that Allah is always with you even when you feel alone.
I would tell myself to be proud of my Islamic identity and not be shy about it. It's what makes me stand out and Allah chose me to be Muslim. Don't feel shy about your hijab or your code of Islamic conduct. People are intrigued by you so be proud of who you are and share aspects of Islam respectfully and when the right opportunity comes up.
Quran before everything.
You’re never going to fit in so stop trying to. Learn to be happy alone. Focus on your academics and grow your career! Put yourself first ALWAYS
Don't let anyone else take your relationship with Allah away from you.
If you know something is a sin; stop doing it! Sins affect you later in life in ways you wouldn't even think. Allah is the Most Forgiving - so make Duaa for Him, and live your best self everyday.
SubhanAllah, breath ... look around you and take note of the some of the favours of your Lord. Even on your darkest day ... remember that it too shall pass. 💙
If I could go back in time I would learn to read Quran and memorize it. Being young is the best time to memorize the Quran. We keep it better or at least we keep most of it. Learn to read it and memorize it while you are young.
Start everything with the right intention for Allah's sake alone. Put your trust in Allah alone and dream big and wide. Nothing is impossible to overcome or to build. Don't get stuck in past difficulties or failures. Keep going. Don't limit yourself. Be good to yourself and stay true and loyal to all that Allah has ordered you with. Know that everyone is tried and tested. You will be too. Keep praying, keep believing and keep going!
Learn to read Qur’an in Arabic and memorize it and everything available about al-Islam. Your knowledge will be the foundation of your strength when your faith is tested. Never forget The Creator. The more you accept His decrees put Him first above even your own self, the more peace you will have.

Rely only on Allah, and you can never go wrong. Listen to Allah - yes, He actually speaks to us - but you have to be listening. You know how, sometimes, just before you do something, you hesitate for less than a tenth of a second? That's Allah giving you a signal that maybe you shouldn't be doing that thing. When you ignore Him and do it, it becomes harder to hear Him the next time around. Smile... He is the Most Merciful and Most Loving Being; He and He alone will protect you and guide you and send others to help you along the way.
Do not neglect your mental health what-so-ever. If you struggle with eating disorder or any form of abuse at home such as being hit, yelled at, arguments between the parents, do seek help and be okay with it. Go to Allah first, of course, but get real help because it will impact you in the long run. Allah swt asked us to take care of our mind, so why not get professional help for it too? Quran, Salah, and all the 5 pillars of Islam alongside 6 pillars of faith.
Don't worry about the steps involved in reaching a goal or discount goals because they seem difficult. Set the goals you really want and then take the work step by step, remembering that when you are doing it for Allah's sake, He will help you.
Your parents may not always "understand" you but often times, they have a good idea of what's best for you -- so be patient and smile!
Keep good company! Your friends influence you more than you know, so make sure your friends share your values and encourage you to do khayr!
