Letter To My Future Self
Rachael Stewart

Just so I know it is me, I will start off with saying how much you are still obsessed with Tim Tebow, even though he has not played an NFL games in a hot minute.

So now you know it is really you, let's get started on what I want for you to accomplish in your future. They are not your typical normal goals that one would set. This is more like rules that I want you to follow and abide by in your everyday life. This rules will help you live and better life and will make you a much happier and more relaxed person.

First, you have a tendency just to let people walk all over you and take advantage. If someone is doing something that you do no appreciate, or talking down to you, I want you actually to speak up and use your voice that you were provided. As you usually just sit there and you keep everything in is not going to change anything. All it is going to do is make matters worse. So I want you to for now on, is speak you mind. But this one is a little tricky. You do not want to say things that you either do not really mean, or say things that could be misinterpreted. You for sure have to think before you say things, process what you are going to say, and then let it out. You can still be nice to everyone, but only to the ones who are nice to you!

Second, I want you to have a little more confidence in yourself. You never give yourself the credit you deserve. You can accomplish so many things. But at times you just have this one loud voice in your head that doubts yourself. Stop listening to them! You are an amazing person who can do anything. All you have to do is put your mind into it and get it done. I mean, just look back and look at what you already have accomplished just in nineteen years of your life, and then look in the future and look at how many more amazing years you will get to experience. You can do anything you want to!

Lastly, I want you to keep that smile on your face, stay positive! You always look at situations through a different light and always know how you make the best out of things. Keep that up. It keeps you happy, and it will keep others around you just as happy. If you go into something with a negative attitude then, of course, it will be a horrible experience. So with that being said. You will want to live the rest of your life being happy. It will make life so much easier. Stay happy Rach!

So as you live the rest of your life. I want you to follow these rules in your everyday life. You will be a better person in the end with no doubt!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
