Dear me,

You, my future self, is my inspiration. I know that you are one fabulous person, both inside the courtroom and in your home. But as of now, at age 20, I am overworked, underpaid and stressed to the max. The only thing keeping me from going insane from all the stress is thinking about how grand my future might be. Because of right now, I am working my butt off to shape the future me into an amazing one.

So, all in all, this is a letter full of hope, all of my hopes for myself and my future.

So, Courtney,

I hope all is well with you.

I hope you are healthy and still capable of anything you set your mind too.

I hope you are strong willed and not strong hearted.

I hope over the years you have learned to forgive. Not only forgive others but also how to forgive yourself.

I hope you are still fueled by passion.

I hope you get to come home each night and cuddle with the love of your life and your pet piglet named porkchop.

I hope you are genuinely happy.

I hope that all the stress and all the work I am putting in now really does end up paying off for you.

I hope you achieve all of your goals.

And if you do happen to fail I hope you learn from your failures, I hope you learn to be proud of them. Learn to flaunt them. But under NO circumstances, please do not wallow in your failures.

I hope you learn to love yourself.

I hope you get to travel as much as you like because I know being diverse is important to you.

I hope you have become more knowledgeable on all the subjects that matter to you.... and even some subjects that don't.

I hope you are taking care of yourself. I hope you are getting manis and pedis and massages regularly. And for goodness sake, wear your retainer. You paid a lot of money for those teeth. Get your hair done regularly because I know how you always feel brand new after a new hairdo.

I hope you are surrounding yourself with people that share the same goals as you do, because as you know all too well, people who don't believe in your abilities drain you completely.

I know I have high hopes, but let's be honest I've always had high hopes. Well anyway, I hope all is well up there in the future. I hope you are getting along with the robots and meeting new friends from Mars. Just remember that as long as you make a life that you are proud of and are happy in, that's all that really matters. And don't ever forget that while work is important please make time to do the things you enjoy.

With love,

Me.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
