I hope I got the date of my college graduation right!

Howdy, partner! It's you know who, yourself!! I've decided to send you a "Congrats! School is over!" letter! Actually, Ms. Williamson has assigned this for us to do, but after she explained what we were going to be doing, I felt it would be a lot of fun! I don't want to make it seem as though I wouldn't want to talk to ya, so I hope you aren't getting that impression. Wow, an epiphany, right now as I'm sitting here writing out this letter. I realized right now just how far this letter is going to go. I mean, you're twenty-two and a half, and I'm not even sixteen. If I'm right, you're about to graduate/have already graduated. I'm seeing an image of you getting your diploma and rockin' the red flat hat and I can only imagine how much, or how little, you and I look. But just to think of the day that we're actually graduating college is incredible! Well, I didn't think a whole lot about this letter, besides for the times that Ms. Williamson brought it up in class over the last week. I'm liking winging it though. I feel like I'm getting out anything I need to say, which is probably what I'm about to get at. Ms. Williamson had us read a poem last week about a man going back to where he used to play as a little boy. He remembered leaving a letter in the nook of a tree and the old man went up and found that it had withstood forty years to still be resting where he had left it. He read whatever happened to be on the letter and started crying because he remembered how he had used to be and I feel like I should tell you anything that I think you should remember. Don't sweat the small stuff. That just kept popping in my head over the last few minutes so I feel it must be important. Stay creatively active. Don't stop drawing or painting or singing or playing music. It definitely makes me feel better and I have a hankering that it'll have the same effect on you. Take things nice and slow and easy. It gives you more time to enjoy the little things and think clearly instead of feeling so cluttered and pressed for time. BE HAPPY:). I really want to STRESS (haha, get it? Because stress makes you unhappy!) this because any time I start getting down on myself, I keep going down and down and I think all you have to do is just start thinking up and things will change. Plus, smiling is among one of my most favorite, if not my most favorite, thing to do and it just feels good! Well, I believe I'm running out of time, so I'll have to end here. I feel that I got anything very important off my mind and onto this letter that I need to tell you. I hope that you still remember all these things, I know writing it out made me realize how important they are to me! I hope you have a wonderful life and I hope I got the date of my college graduation! Talk to ya later! Bye:)
