A letter from October 9th, 2020

Time Travelling — almost 5 years

Peaceful right?

Dear Future Me, Back here its October 9th, 2020. I've been at Miami for almost a month. How have you been? What's your job situation? Still in school? I'm sure you're doing well. We work our *** off, and I'll hold you accountable if we turn out bad, not me :) I'm currently sitting under the big tree near President's Hall. It's so nice here, fall is coming around. Whats your favorite season? I love it here, but I miss Gertie and Clem and our sisters. Currently Im close friends with Zach Bennison and Tyler Andrews, but Teddy and Jimmy and Jackie and some other folks are also in our group. It's a lot of fun, but school is difficult, especially physics and calc. You probably have more pressing issues though. I hope you see this. Anyways, this is an assignment for CCA111, so I gotta tell you something. Don't ever let anyone or anything drain the kid out of you, Thomas P. I've lived for 19 years and my proudest accomplishment is that I can still have genuine fun and be passionate for things that I care about, even if it includes Star Wars and other nerdy ****. Just don't grow up too much and be super boring. You might be married, or even close to having kids. Be good to your wife and kids, don't be a bum. Find a good one, who brings out the fun side of you, rather than just the hottest baddie you can find. that's what you really find attractive: confidence and lightheartedness. Be a good dad, make dad jokes, and give your kids a life that's at least as good as yours has been. In terms of work, do what you love. Really. If you don't like your entry job, change it, or at least get involved in local plays building sets, or maybe teaching, or whatever you feel passionate about diong at the time. Just don't turn into a slave, or it will destroy every other part of your life. Text sophie roeder, ask how shes doing. Hopefully good. You dont miss her but you still care bc she was cool. what kinda music you listen to? Rn were waiting on pegasus from trippie redd, rocking with hella juice wrld, and staying strong with some logic as usual. Listen to his young sinatra mixtapes, itll take you back. Wtf is joe burrow doing? HE just got his first NFL win for the bengals. it was hype. just have a good life man, write a letter to your future self as well. Five years from when you get this. check your email. just be yourself, and when times get hard, rely on your friends and family. Play with animals, listen to music, and get **** done. but have some fun too. Also listen to the wampas lair podcast. see you later. Love you brobro (socks on) Tom Peters
