A Letter To The Me Of Last Year

Whose better at giving advice to myself than me?

A Letter To The Me Of Last Year

Hey Me,

So lots of things have changed in the past year. Your friend circle has changed, you fell for the perfect guy only to have your heart broken, you changed your major, and probably the worst of all, you had to grow up. Well here I am to show you that a year later, you can still survive.

Let's start with your friends. Some of them were not very nice to you. They influenced you into doing things you didn't really want to do, and then made fun of you (you know who we're talking about). Yeah you don't want to drink every Friday night. No you don't want to go "slut it up" with any guy you see. My advice, let them walk away. You know how to be you, and you don't need the approval of someone that hurt you in a way that can't be forgiven.

We finally got a boyfriend. After years and years of trying to find the perfect guy, it really seemed like you did. You had the same morals, you liked the same things, your friends were also his friends, things couldn't have been better on paper. Sadly, the communication skills sucked. And you both were a little too immature in each other's eyes. You say things that hurt each other which ultimately leads to the demise of the relationship. You'll see when the end is coming, and you'll cry for a week even though the two of you only dated for three months. And even now as I'm writing this two months after the breakup, you'll still think about if given the chance, you would try to work things out again. So when the time comes, just let him walk away. Like the saying goes, "You are a storm to be reckoned with, and some people get scared of a little rain."

You may tell people you love nursing, but I being you, know you actually hate it. So you'll decide to change to biology and go to pharmacy school. Yay! People are going to look at you funny for changing, people are going to tell you that you can't do it, well blow them off because you can. And everything works out and you become so much happier. Don't let others tell you that you can't do something. Because we can do anything we set our mind to.

I won't ruin the fun, but something bad will happen this time next year. So bad, that it hurt you to get up and put a smile on your face the next morning. You have to learn to be the strong one. It's not time to be the immature and selfish girl you are now. You have to make decisions that could have long lasting consequences to your future. And it sucks. But you make it through. Also don't worry because everything works out in the end.

Truth be told its a great year. You meet new people and discover things you didn't even know were possible. Good luck.

Love,

Me (also technically you)

PS: The blue pants you think are really cute, actually look really bad. Don't buy them!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
