Dear mid-college self,

This year, please plan. It's junior year and you're halfway through college. Enough with this procrastination you've been pulling all your life. You've got a full work load and no time to joke around. Maybe you shouldn't go ahead and start a new Netflix show. I think you can wait until Thanksgiving break because Gilmore Girls reboot, duh.

This year, don't be shy. Go get what you want. You usually choose to stay in the background and let things pass you by. Not this year, no no no. For example, talk to that cute guy in class, instead of talking your friends' ear off about that cute guy in class, for the love of God.

This year, don't worry. Don't worry about what might happen or not happen. Yes, you need to plan, but keep in mind that plans can change. Don't freak out about 'oh my gosh, only two more years of college help what am I gonna do,' even though oh my gosh, only two more years of college help what am I gonna do?? Everything will work out.

This year, say yes. Go out with friends instead of staying in. Go study with a group from class instead of alone in your room. Maybe even go take that extra shift at work. You know you need the money...sigh. Take advantage and go do things!!!

This year, SLEEP.

Sincerely,

You
