A letter from May 24th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, You’re still in quarantine. It’s a Sunday. All the days blur together now lol. I graduated and had a virtual graduation the other day. Not the real deal but what can you do you know. Maryland opened back up but it’s not real because marshalls, tjmaxx, and Ross aren’t open. They’re saying that everything won’t get back to normal until January 2021. I hope that it was sooner than that because summer is my favorite season and I can’t imagine bypassing that to go straight to winter.…ew. My mom is talking about going on vacation but I’m like sis…to where…to do what lmaooooo. She suggested the outer banks so hopefully that works. My 22nd birthday is coming up. If everything (clubs specifically) isn’t open by my birthday, I’m hoping that the spas are open so I can get a full body massage/spa day treatment. At least have something to do on my birthday lol. Also, I am so hairy. I’m sick and tired of being this hairy. My wax lady isn’t responding, the wax spots aren’t open, the laser place is shut down…out of control. I REFUSE to shave and mess up my progress and I’m too scared to wax myself lol so we shall see what happens. I start working full time June 1, next week, and that’s the beginning of my career, my life as a working member of society. Very scary I’m not gonna lie but I have to keep reminding myself that I already know what I’m doing and I’ve been preparing for this. I also start RN Star training June 2. The idea of being a nurse is so scary but again, I have to keep reminding myself that I’m prepared for this. I had my first COVID patient two weeks ago and it was so scary but I got through. Three hours of sitting in a neg pressure room with a positive patient and basically a hazmat suit on. 0/10 would not recommend. It’s weird because every other letter I’ve sent I’ve predicted or talked about what I hoped life would look like in the future. I can’t even imagine what my life will be like but I guess that’s what makes this part of my life most exciting. There are no more expectations so everything I do will be new. If anything, I hope I have a good career making good money. Honorary mentions…working in cosmetic dermatology and buying a house. We’re not putting and pressure on it though lol. I just thought I’d write another letter during this pandemic because it’s truly a historic time. Cheers from the new temple grad xoxo
