Dear Past Hanna,

It is July 15, 2016 and holy crap, what a year it has been. Where do I start? You have accomplished so much. Let's start from the beginning. You finished high school. That's a pretty big milestone if I do say so myself. You got to have the time of your life while in high school senior year. You got on homecoming court and even prom court (you're still not sure how, but you did). You had the best times during senior year and even hard times.

One great time about high school you experience would have to be getting your admission into the University of Tennessee. You were sitting in English class when all of a sudden your phone showed a email saying "you're in!" After doing research and figuring out the cost of everything you're going to college (out of state too!) which is pretty exciting! Plus during this whole time you have meet a few new friends along the way.

You and your roommate have been talking about dorm stuff and so far you two seem to have a lot in common. And you're so excited to finally meet her! You have also meet some many new people who have impacted your life for the better and you have also changed as person as well. You have also done a lot of adult things. From traveling from Knoxville all the way back to Atlanta on a Megabus all by yourself was pretty scary, but you did it! ( And would do it again if we are being honest here.)

You're even going back up for three weeks to get a head start on school because you're so excited for the fall season. Especially once you get UTK in the fall. You're excited about the football games and joining a few clubs on campus (especially this Business Frat). You're excited to cheer Rocky Top starting Sept 1. You are even excited for classes.

You're even excited to start on you second book (you have the title and everything!) You are still writing because you realized it is something you are very passionate about and want to keep doing as long as possible. You have so many dreams, ideas, and goals for this year and you have done almost half of them. I know when the new school year starts more will be added on to that list and you're excited. You will miss your hometown and the people who you grown up with, but you are so happy and excited for the next four years. Plus this is the happiest you have ever been this year then ever before. You have done some many amazing thing and I couldn’t be more proud of you Hanna, and I can’t wait to see what’s up next. Good luck with Freshman year! I know you will do great things!

Yours truly,

Future Hanna
