I would tell myself:
1. Move farther away from your family. They love you, but they are keeping you too close to them. You'll be happier with a little less enmeshment.
2. Aim higher. You are qualified for a lot more than you are taking credit for. Apply to Berkley.
3. Go learn some study habits and apply them. You are smart, but a lousy student.
4. Even if your parents don't see that a particular career is feasible, they don't know enough to know. Decide for yourself.
5. Date better guys. Picking guys because they are not going to engage your emotions too much is a recipe for disaster. You're going to end up with some destructive guys that way. Pick some good guys, even if they're going to get closer than you'd like. Breaking up with a guy that you like is going to much less destructive than dating disposable jerks.
6. You're pretty. Enjoy it.
7. Drink less in college. Play more sports.
