Dear senior-year self,
It has been a crazy adventure since you graduated on June 4th of 2016. You have worked your butt off at Alabama to get good grades and to stay organized and to try and adult like a normal person. Even though you still suck at math you're doing pretty big things here and you are transforming into the person you have always wanted to be!
Let's start with the fact that you are actually friends with girls — yes, you can be friends with girls! You are living in an all-girl dorm and some days you honestly hate it and wish you could just joke around with a guy and not talk about "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette," but it really is not as bad as you thought it would be! Here is another secret, you even found your best friend down here and you all are getting a house together next year, she's pretty awesome and when you introduced yourself to her you told her she was your spirit animal because yes, you're still awkward.
Now, you're probably wondering about your work friends from back home, do you still talk? And yeah, you keep in touch as much as possibly, but you are busy and so are they. You miss them like crazy to be honest and hope they are all doing well and you really miss their faces and hugs and words of encouragement. You also kind of lost your best friend because you were a brat and at first it really sucked and you missed him a lot, but it is getting easier because you know you did what was best for the two of you and you hope he is doing well.
You have a life here, but you really miss home, but I promise you it will get better. You have really started to realize how much home meant to you and how much the people there are what made home hard to leave. You really miss your parents, basically every day. You can't wait to go visit home and burst through the door and well, first say hello to all of your cats, but then hug Ma's neck and tell her all about your friends you have made and listen to her make fun of your stories. You also can't wait to go see Pappy and joke around with him and hear him say he is proud of you. You even kind of miss your big sister, shocker right? You like to think she misses you too, but one can only dream.
You really have grown up, Moe, even when you went to visit your sister's friend he said you looked more grown up, and you are going to do such big things down here in Alabama. I am so proud of the things that you have accomplished and the friends that you have made and I can't wait to watch you grow up more in the next three years and I can't wait until you are in the field of your dreams kicking ass and taking names just like Mimi would have wanted you to do!
Love you so big,
An older, wiser Morgan
