I would tell myself to SLEEP MORE and to enjoy the single life. Marriage is great, but don't be in a hurry to get married. It will all fall into place. Also, ignore that junk about a ticking biological clock. There's plenty of time.
I would also tell myself to take more risks with my career while I'm not financially responsible to other people.
Don't just take the job because they offer it to you. Really think about what you want to do instead of getting stuck in a path that you don't like because 10 years down the road you will be miserable. MISERABLE.

You aren't going to be able to start a family as early as you hoped - so don't be stupid and go ahead and sit for the CPA/break into public accounting for a few years. The long hours won't be as noticable, and you'll set yourself up for awesome things later on. In other words - don't ignore your career!
Have WAAAAAY more sex with random hot guys. Way more.
Really? Just curious.
I was kind of a prude without much self-esteem*
*I'm not implying that having more sex would have boosted my self-esteem just that if now me was single, I'd be having way more fun than 20 year old me did.

Also, go ahead and get your Masters now because ten years from now, you'll decide you want to teach and it will be way more difficult to get at that point.

I'm also going to cheat and roll it back to 24, since that's when I got married.
DON'T DO IT. He is not the only guy who will think you are hot. Not even close. Hold out a few more years and let the guys catch up. 20 year old boys don't like dat ass, but 30 year old guys DO! You're better than him.
Stop taking shit from your family, and start loving yourself. You'll be mad later you wasted so much time and energy on people that are broken. It's not your fault!
You don't have to have kids by the time your 30 - you just got your foot in the door with a great career. Make some money, enjoy having money for a change and do more of the stuff you want to do before you procreate.
Also, don't sell your SIL your car. She won't love it the way you do. That car has been better to you than it should have been
you WILL get married and have three awesome kids.. so stop feeling like shit every time one of your friends gets engaged. Most of them will end up getting divorced anyways. And finish your masters... because you won't want to when you are older.
