A Letter to the Future Me

Dear Me, Myself, and I
Nicola Paul

Dear Older Me,

Hey you, first I want to just say that I love you, I always have, and I will never stop. No matter what you do and what you become, literally, I can't stop loving you. By now, I hope that whatever you decided to do with your life, you are happy and successful.

I hope by now that you have gotten over all your ex lovers and failed attempts with potential lovers. I know you're still a romantic, and I hope you have found the one to accept that about you. I hope you found someone who laughs at your corny jokes, even the jokes that you yourself don't even think are funny.

I hope you've found the one who can cry with you about the beautiful endings of Disney movies. I hope you've found someone with the same obsession with music. I hope you've found someone who became your music, your muse, and motivation.

But, let's be honest. You have a short attention span. Never allow something so real, so special to be grow cold or get old. Don't ever underestimate someone. Everyone is capable of anything, but at the same time, remember that if it's real, you have to trust. Take risks. Be free.

And, let's be honest. You are infamous for doubting your potential, Don't ever underestimate yourself. You can literally do whatever you want in life, don't let anyone or even yourself tell you otherwise.

I love you. I'm proud of you no matter what.

Love,

Present Me

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
