A Letter To A Younger Me

It'll all work out

So many things will come up in your life that you won't expect. That boy you thought you would end up with, he's back with his ex. You're best friend of 6 years ditched you because his girlfriend didn't like you. You'll fail a lot of tests, especially in your college chemistry class. People will say awful things about you that will stay with you for a while.

DO NOT give up. A grade doesn't determine your self worth and neither does the boy you think is the sun and the moon. You are worth so much more than that. High school will be difficult, your depression and anxiety will be through the roof. Hold out for college. There you will be with the people you love the most. You'll get the proper mental health treatment, make a few friends, and maybe even join a sorority. You'll wear the clothes that make you feel confident, finally dye your hair bright purple like you always wanted, learn what truly makes you happy. Getting away from home is what you need, even if it is scary, in order to realize that home is where you always wanted to be.

Life is difficult. So many things will make you want to to throw it all away. But wait, it will get better for you and you'll finally be happy with where you are.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
