Good luck future self.

A Letter To Myself
newevolutiondesigns.com

This is just a short letter to my future self.

Hey me, listen up, right now I'm not sure of what I'm doing. You can say I'm lost, or maybe a little misguided. I'm not ideally where I want to be. I'm writing this in hopes you will not be me, the me I am now, in the future. I am not the person I thought I was; I believed myself to be kind, gentle, and a hard worker. What I really am, is rough, selfish, and someone who is hardly working. I don't overachieve and there will be a slight chance I never do. I could have been so close to accomplishing so many things, yet focused on things that didn't matter. I let all of my dreams die without ever giving them a chance. I could have been on a different path but got complacent with where I was. I fell for simplicity and never chased after anything I wanted. I gave up when I shouldn't have. The first twenty-one years of my life, I have lived waiting for something good to happen. I've never gone and made something good happen.

You need to fix this, fix us, fix me. Work as hard as you can, and be yourself, your true self at all times. Don't go judging others unless you can handle being judged yourself. You need to make sure the rest of my life is a great one. You need to have ambition and keep yourself moving forward. You need to be proactive. You need to make sure the next twenty-one years of my life are some of the best years of my life. Work hard, and shoot for you're dreams if you have the chance. Don't give up, and just be the best person you can be for the rest of you're life.

Please Listen, Future Self. This is not for me but for you. Past me can not be changed, present me is stuck, but you can help make a difference.

Be that difference.

-Love,

Me..

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
