5 More Things To Write In A Letter

In This Article:

Almost every teen has heard of the new popular Netflix show "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" starring Noah Centineo as Peter Kavinsky and Lana Condor as Lara Jean Covey. The movie, which is based on a novel by author Jenny Han, tells the events following the accidental mailing of Lara Jean's secret love letters to her crushes. Without all the drama and the accidental confessions to your past secret crushes, here are five other things you can write about in a letter.

1. Write about your problems and frustrations

Frustrated

Has someone been getting on your nerves lately? Or maybe the new school year's workload is already stressing you out. Writing about your current problems and frustrations in a letter can be a good way to let off steam and move on at the same time.

2. Write about your dreams

Dreaming

If you've ever had a bizarre dream, like a haunted house collapsing while you're trying to run down from it (like I have), it might be nice to document it and save it to remember for later.

3. Write about your wishes 

Writing

If you ever hope for something to happen with all your heart, or cannot stop thinking about achieving that one special thing, why not write about it?

4. Write about someone you appreciate

Smiling

Words don't always come out easy. Showing appreciation for something, or someone, in an obvious manner can be hard for some. Confessions to a piece of paper though, not so much.

5. Write about your current obsession

Kiss

Whether it's a new band, a new book, or a new hobby, why not express your excitement about your newfound interest by writing about it? I know that my best friend, currently at another university, is actually quite obsessed with this teen flick, so maybe she'd write about that.

Maybe writing in letter form isn't your style; writing these things in a journal is also completely okay. It's your choice to share your writing with others, as well. Just make sure you don't accidentally include an address and stamp to the letter addressed to the person who has been getting on your nerves; I don't imagine this one going as well as Covey's story.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
