Explain Your Current Situation To Your Two Year Ago Self

Well, 16 was lame, but 18 is way cooler.

Explain Your Current Situation To Your Two Year Ago Self

The inspiration behind this week’s article is a tweet I recently saw. It read, “Explain your current situation to your two years ago self.” In my case that puts me at sixteen and it's Christmas at 11:16 p.m. So, I’m just gonna go right into it.

Hey dude, well, first Kandi just fell off the couch, coughed and that startled you a lot, actually. She’s OK though. Good news, she’s alive and you have another dog named Hanna! Super cute, I promise. She doesn’t like you at first, but that’s OK.

So, education wise, we graduated. This is so funny. You are still alive, so no cons there. We just finished our first semester of college, which is super cool. You are quite an interesting one, you never stopped being weird. I know you were hoping you would calm down and be more normal, but that didn’t happen. That’s okay. You made a decent amount of new friends and they’re all really cool and you kept your friends from high school. Isn’t that weird. I know I think it is.

Your hair is still blonde and I wish you would stop with that brown nonsense. Seriously, ignore the haters blonde IS your color my dude. Aside from that, we currently make deodorant so that’s really cool. We hope to get a business up and running by next year. We have three jobs that we currently work and an internship at college, so that is nice.

We just keep trying new things and we really love Chance the Rapper. Like a lot. Dude, we actually wrote two twelve page papers this past semester. Isn’t that wild? You were freaking about that ten page one like a month ago and we just did twenty-four pages. Wild.

To be completely honest, you would probably need a lot of hours to process your current self because boy are we ever overwhelming. Seriously, we still never shut up and we love to talk about global-warming. Dude, our little sisters are still the most important people in our life. They get really religious next year, just ignore it.

Probably one of the most important differences between you and me is that my favorite color is yellow. I know, yellow! Why yellow? Well, yellow just makes me feel happy and it’s not that Berry Blue Jell-o doesn’t but we just really like to dress like a bottle of mustard.

OK, but now the most important thing about our current situation is that we have a new phone company. I know what you’re thinking but bear with me… Basically, it sucks but it helped us grow into who we really are today. We literally use Facebook Messenger for everything. We love it. It has games and you have two super awesome GM’s with your super awesome friends from college and home. Really, Facebook Messenger really steps it up and I know you’ll appreciate knowing this more than anything else. Seriously, this is probably the most important detail about your current life. Facebook Messenger is so litty, we don’t even text dude. We literally make everyone FB message us.

Well, can’t wait til you get to this point. Just remember it gets better and you rock!

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.
